My New Upgrades!!

Hey all.. the snow is gone and I just put all my stuff on my car. I put back on my 17x7 Motegi's, put on my new RRM header, new RRM Fiberglass Eyelids, RRM Evo VII Grill, CF Gas Door, and a Honda S2000 antenna. Lemme know what ya think. Sorry about the pix, but I had to use my camera phone because they are taking forever to fix my digital camera.

what little gain you got with the headers, you probably lost with the wheels, but the wheels do look good. maybe paint the grille mesh black and it would look better, right now it kind of stands out with it being silver and is somewhat of an eyesore. blacking out the headlights would probably help a lot too.

Those wheels aren't that heavy. Compared to my OZ rims with tires on them, they are only about 4lb heavier with tires on em. I noticed a huge difference with the header. Awesome power upgrade. I was thinking about painting the grill black. I'll do that when I get some time after finals week of college. I'm leaving the headlights alone. I like it more chrome.

Put on a S2K antenna myself awhile ago. Looks a lot better than the big stock one.

Everything else looks pretty good man. Nice job.

4 lbs can make a considerable diff, especially with gas mileage. a 6lb diff made a diff of 3-4 mpg for my lancer.

yea, some thing the fuel door does look out of place, it even does a little bit to me. But I love the look of real carbon fiber so I had to get one.. lol. I've actually had a lot of people comment on it when I go to the gas station and stuff. Plus my girlfriend got it for me as a gift.
