What do you guys think about this?

So I was doing a little day dreaming today and I thought I'd ask the Lancer community as a whole about an idea I had for my GG '08 ES.

Anyway, here's a picture with numbers and arrows in order to explain my thought process. (I'm not a photoshop wiz.)



So basically

1. Is where I would paint the front end black like a few people have already done.

2. Is where I would put on a Black front bumper extension from off a GTS.

3. Is where I would put on a Black side skirt from off of a GTS.

4. Is where I would put on a Black spoiler from off of a GTS.

and

5. Would be a nice set of matching black rims.

So basically what I would have is a Grey / Black color scheme for my Lancer. What do you guys think about that?

Here is a different attempt at conveying my idea.



Keep in mind that I do have tinted windows so the overall look would be better then this photoshopped picture.

sounds like an intersting idea. there are some talented photoshop guys on this forum. i would definitly find someone to do it so have a better idea of what it would look like so u don't waste any money.
I saw an echo today with camry like front and back bumper knumbins and side skirts in a 2 color tone....it looked really retards.

IMO it either wil look hot or retarded

Honestly thats what I was thinking too, so I really want to get a good idea for how it would look before I invest any money in it.

That actually might look pretty good. Even better might be to get the pieces manufactured in Carbon Fiber and put those on (but please, no fake CF decal).

Yea I was thinking about a carbon fiber hood too, or possibly the fiberglass edition since I'm broke.
