Quote: damn that hood fits tight. nice ride by the way.
Thanks man!

Quote: looks good ben... i think it would be cheaper just to buy another rim instead of getting it repaired. thats what i did. hows the seibon hood? .. mine is starting to show some foggy spots. sucks
Trust me, I tried and a guy on ebay had some black powdercoated ones, but he sold them before i could get up with him and ADR discontinued them, so it will either have to be a whole new set or try and get the one really bad one fixed. I really sucks tho cause I love the hell outta those rims man. If I can get it fixed though i'll either paint em black myself or get em powdercoated. Maybe if I kiss my wife's booty enough I can get some of those Konig's with the cf inserts! Cross your fingers for me guys, lol! I tend to stay broke with 2 kids now.

Quote: Hey Ben, I love that color. What color is that?
It is Lexus Breakwater Blue Metallic aka not very cheap, lol. I figured that I would get a coor that nobody else has on their Lancer cause we all know there are too many people that have the same body kit and hood.

Quote: I think he said it was Breakwater Blue Metallic in a ealier post. It looks really good. A+ man

You are correct. Honestly, I never really liked any of the stock colors and wanted this color to begin with instead of that michigan color monstrosity! lmao


Quote: man your like on a whole another level i love your ride dude keep going very few people go as far as you do. Btw i hope i catch up to you some day lol
Thanks bro! I'm still trying to convince my wife that it would be a great beater to keep for the kids and let me get an 09 or 10 Ralliart! Cross your fingers on that one too!

Quote: yeh. mine is getting all cloudy in certain areas. my seibon trunk is going to hell tho. lmao. car looks good.
Nope, hood is good and I have not gotten a car cover yet. I think it will be good for awhile, The guy put 15!!!! yeah 15 coats of clear on that thing! at no extra cost cause we was cool like that! I still wish I knew how to do auto painting myself though! I want to put more layers of clear on the whole car!

if your still looking for a replacement rim heres a site that sells single rims

http://www.customwheelsdirect.com/wh...l.php?id=38441

i was in the same situation as you. hit a huge pothole and was driving with a mismatched rim for a bit ... i couldn't find just one on ebay any more and if the seller was willing to sell just one they wanted like $200.

I think what would really make a the difference as far as completing the look of the car, is if you Black-out the Headlights.
I dont think the Clear OEM style looks good on any color at all.

Perhaps even paint the Vortex Gen. Black too..

However, aside from that I think it looks great

I would love some blacked out Cedias, but money is tight and I'm saving up for Lasix next year! I'm blind as hell!
