has anyone bought a set of m3 or other style mirrors and have them painted to match car? i looked but couldnt find anything like this, and has anyone had their stock grill painted to match car, but exclude the diamond so it stands out? and another question. has anyone powder coated stock alloy's? oz style or other? i am thinking about doing these. yah, im strapped for cash. such as this https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=138536. i am cheap. and if i powder coat the rims, i will get the diamond in red. but if i paint the rims, i will also go with another style of tire, so it doesnt look dumb. give me some advice or flame, but i need to figure if this will look ok enough to ride around with it done.

 

i have m3 mirrors...but i didnt put em on cuz...they didnt fit LOL...sorry...FREE BUMP

 

did you buy them off of ebay or something?

 

no, i bought them at a local shop, coulda returned em, but decided not to...

 

there is a lancer on here. a red 03 oz i believe that powder coated the oz wheels black. they looked very good. (or mabey he did white) lol..... ill try to find his post and let ya know.

 

ahh, i called a local company today on pricing, some redneck guys, but their pro, $300. kinda steep on my wallet, due to the fact they have to be tireless, but i do need new tires. i am thinking on some low profiles or something, paint my rims, and lower the car. but now im not sure. i just dont know if it will look right. any comments on the grill idea? or any info on m3 or different stlye side mirrors? has anyone bought them and have them work,hahah

 

i HAVE!

 

I have a buddy that can powdercoat here for 1/2 as much. Around $150. I've also painted my grill, but I didn't leave the diamond - painted that too. Try searching in the registry for these things, you may find some nice pics.

 

thats a nice grill, was that pro done or was that diy? and if i can get the money for powdercoating i will, thanks lancerman. and is the center part of the grill silver? nice. the diamond stands out well. i think i will have to copy that idea, sorry but it looks nice.

 

me? i did the grill in my garage... lol black and silver auto paint from wal mart, and 90 grit and 200wetsanding paper from walmart too... total cost = ~$10

 

oh the center DSM badge comes off, its just 2sided tape, u can get that at walmart too, get the exterior 3m tape though

 

wow, crap, i didnt know it came off. but yeah, i guess ill do that. but i think ill get it painted to match the car. i am gonna call a local customs shop to get a quote or something, shouldnt be to much. but i guess ill go with a silver diamond and silver gills. and when i get some money, im going to heat paint my heat shield and valve cover, doing a custom mitsu diamond on the heatshield, and going to highlight the writting on the valve cover, and maybe some more diamonds or something. ive seen some good pics of these mods.

 

do the grill ur self, its madd easy... n dont take long to take it apart

 

i have cup mirrors on my ride

 

no, its not hard to take apart. i check it out, its like 7 bolts and thats it. not hard. any pics of those mirrors? i might be getting more money soon, starting my training as a meat cutter soon. mo money
