here are previews of 2 of the above incase they load too long. sorry for the large file size

 

looks good, how did you do your grill?

 

gutter mesh, caulk, primer, black engine paint.

 

good pics.....id get rid of that pin stripin though...but thats just me

 

+1. Other than that, car looks immaculate

 

thanks

i was thinking of removing the pinstripe actually, now that i have second opinions on that i will actually do it.

On my to do list for "looks" mods: Black headlight housing, black relectors, on the interior im gonna make all the A/C, stereo gauges red.

i also had a little idea, let me know what you think. I saw a silver camry the other day and the rear badges were glossy black. I was thinking of doing that with mine. kinda doing a water/black paint mixture and making the trunk badges darker, but keeping the shine. What do you think?

 

i think dont mix water and black paint. thats just asking for issues, if anything mix black paint and CLEAR paint (like a base clear), NOT water.

or just take them off completely.

 

^ use niteshade, its basically a black candy coat. I did my mitsu emblems with red candy over the chrome, looks pretty sweet.

 

I think your grill looks the best out of all custom grills I have seen on this forum. Get your headlight blacked out

 

i will look around for that niteshade stuff. thanks
my headlights are my next project, its just finding the time to do it is all. Maybe this weekend, see how much cash i have.

And thanks on the grill. im actually very proud of it, me and my roommate worked on it for like a week. lol

 

I agree with your plans for it, black out headlights, reflectors and all that, grill looks SEXY, but debadge the lancer on the trunk, make it mean and clean looking, Looks great besides Maby leave Chrome part of tails clear and black out red?

Veryy Nice Ride
Love the mats too!

 

You only put "NO 56k" if it would take forever to load up. Not if you post links and then hotlink two small files.

Editing title.

 

As for suggestions - needs coilovers.

Why?

Because while they offer KICKA$$ handling, they also allow you to safely drop the car. Good handling, good looks. all around.

Your car looks beautiful, BTW. Really makes me miss my silver OZ.

 

Hey! your car looks like mine but different!... i'll agree with the grill, even tho im not a fan of those custom grills. yours looks pretty damn good. I dont mind the stripe.. i kinda like it.
I wouldnt debage the trunk... i dont know why people do this... i drive a lancer ES and i dont mind people knowing it,lol.

What i would do(i'm actually doing, sice i also have a silver lancer) is that im going to paint the round glass for the turning signal amber, and also the sidemarkers.. that will give it a bit of a JDM look..

Oh yeah, if i was you, i would get rid of the lip kit and send it to me ASAP... that shold be next on your list.

NINJA EDIT: Tint your windows!!!!! it looks awesome on silver!!
