So I finally got my dream car, only took 11 years. Andddd since I spent all my free cash on getting it, I started with some simple mods: painting stuff! I decided to do a black and white theme, since I have a WW.

Also, hi! I've been a long time lurker, I guess this is my first *real* post.

 

Plasti-dip?

 

Yeah, except the white Mitsubishi diamonds on the wheels. Those are painted with enamel.

 

Congrats, I too worked hard for mine- the title will be mine in 6 months. My advice to you is; take your car to evo shops only, stick to OEM fluids/parts, install short shifter, tune, don't get into trends and autocross. And stay away from coilovers- high quality springs will suffice to most. Being that 80% evo drivers ride around more than on track.

 

What's wrong with autocross¿?¿

Nice car btw!

 

Sounds good, anything else I should know?

 

Congrats!!!

 

Not a fan of the black. White rocks though. Congrats

 

Congrats on your dream car!Looks nice. I like the WW with the black.

 

Good Job on the wheel!

 

Thanks!!

Yeah, I liked it too. I had pretty much predetermined what I was going to do depending on which color I got. For the WW, I chose a white and black look mostly because it was already leaning in that direction. If I had got a PB I probably would have went black/red.

When I first got the car I had family asking me why I was painting the wheels. Around here, most people are driving beaters or newer but lower end (a lot of older grand prixs, some newer fusions, etc) and SUVs+pickups (both beater ones and nice brand new blinged out ones), so a "nice" (aluminum alloy) wheel is somewhat rare. My dad said the flat black made it look cheap, but I think the flat black with the white logo makes the eye go to the wheels more than the OEM look did.

 

black&white always looks good.

nice job

 

Looks good.

 

Added an AWD flatbed tow sticker:



Seemed like a good idea. Has a little evo on it!
