Oops I got you two mixed up. I meant his black grill was fine.

Grab a 10mm socket and a screwdriver then you can remove the grill. But yeah I would paint it. I painted mine.

 

You painted all the same parts as I did on my car, except you did the reflectors. It looks alot better, or thats the way I felt when I did it. Only thing that would be different between yours and mine would be the location of the LANCER in the back, I dropped it to the bottom left hand side, where the OZ emblem would go. I'd take pictures, but my girlfriends laptop = ghey.

 

painted my grill yesturday in the cold!

 

so i got my SKUNK2 Coil Over Sleeves..

 

the rear..

 

these are my friends who helped me put them in.. im in the middle..

 

I don't mean to bash or flame man, but watch those skunks..... I am sure everyone on the boards will agree with me in saying that coilover sleeves are dangerous to the life of struts. I will however admit that the car looks nice in it's stance. And I will give you and your friends credit for doing the work. I did the suspension in my Lancer a few months ago, swapping out springs and struts. It looks like you are still running on factory struts, and I would just suggest that you replace them soon.

I know that KYB GR-2 struts fit in our ES, and I know that a place down here can get the pillowball mounts and struts at a good price. Just do yourself a favor and look into the struts before anything goes bad. They will still eventually fail, because they are not set up for a coilover application, but they should last a bit longer then OEM.

Next time you feel brave and want to upgrade the suspension, look for a full coilover setup, it costs way more, but is worth every penny in the long run. It's just too bad that for the ES, it seems like every manufacturer overlooks us, and goes straight to the OZ, maybe that is Mitsubishi's fault for releasing 2 versions of the car that have different suspension and wheel setups, but no matter what, I still love the car. And yours isn't to shabby either. Keep it up man. Looks good.

 

nice car, let me know how everything works out and feels, i need to be lowered too

(maybe it time for some hawt black rims?)

 

so far it rides alot smoother than i thought it would.. the front is dropped an inch.. and it feels perfect.. the rear is dropped 1.5 inches and it bounces a little more.. i didnt really know how low i was until i scraped my cat on a bump.. lol.. its been raining all day so i havent been able to try it on the SS (highway).. it shouldnt sway as much on curves..

BTW i cant wait for rims!!.. lol

 

come on guys leave me some opinions.. this topic has 2,000 views and 60 replies??.. if you like or dont like something let me know.. also suggestions for future mods are very welcome..

pm sent..

 

 

does any1 think the rear is too low??..

 

the fact that you have; euro tail lights, coilover sleeves, and steelies

i think your car looks pretty ghetto

and yeah, change out the struts before you start bouncing all over the road
