It looks too plain. Do something to it that makes it your own

I hear you, It's all stock besides the window visors. I don't know what I want to do to it yet though. I'm just happy.

How many miles are on it and are you sure the previous owner didn't do any mods?

it has 68k. The only mods I know of is an aftermarket cone air filter which I wouldn't really consider a mod. Everything looks good and untampered with, it even came with the mitsubishi battery from the dealership

Congrats!! I did only ECUFlash tuning for the first couple or years. That'll keep you busy, reading, and be cheap!. I had an MR, Stock and tuning, make a pretty quick ride, and a totally addictive hobby.

Congratulations! Since it's pretty close to stock, I'd recommend keeping it that way. Some might disagree, but it's plenty of car off the showroom floor, and unless you're seeing heavy track use on a regular basis, you won't really make use of most mods.

Take care of it! (And swap out that white front plate cover for a black one or something, haha.)

That's awesome!! You'll love it!!

Do you know if the previous owner performed the timing belt service yet? Keep that in mind if he/she did not do it and get that taken care of sooner than later. There are very good deals on this forum to pick up oem replacement parts/kits for your timing belt service....

Enjoy your new ride!!
