~~ Custom Hood and Red Mitsu Badge

Hey All i am designing a custom hood for my GTS 08 but I am wondering if anyone had debadged their Mitsubishi Diamond logo if they are looking to sell it in the near future lol. I want to embed it into the front part of the hood.

Before a moderator moves this over to the classified I have a question to keep it here lol

has anyone painted their Mitsubishi logo Red?


or Blue


I have my custom badge and i want to do something to the Mitsu Logo I have some specialty paint that adds a clear coat and color gloss to chrome perfectly. I want to do this front and back.

I also plan to debadge the lower badges on the rear, (Mitsubishi / Lancer)

cheers

The real red should show more red then that and less pink but it should be similar because it will be a gloss paint

I will be technically making my own evo, but for official stakes your right. I was going to spell it with a space but decided not to for respect for the evolution name.

As for the boost kit being put together, waiting on 1 last sponsor to sign on, well that and the fact that I have to get Mitsu to install the setup to maintain warranty status :S

thats the technical part, I have a list of crap to go thru to maintain warranty compliance. but if have some of the stuff sponsored already.... we will see how it goes figures crossed

in either case, I must say Mitsu did a good job this time around with this next gen lancer. there are a few things that bug me about it. but they are minor. all in all its a upgrade for sure

Take the overlay route. Get the red film and make an overlay.

Good luck getting ur waranty to stick with mods, when they will barely honour their policy on stock cars.

after working the phones for sometime, the agreement is that the mods must be installed and agreed upon at the local level at the dealership.

problem with the boost projected, we do not know the specs of the forged internals for the production evo so the boost will be fairly week in the mean time.

we have donated piping just waiting on a few more elements.


I will keep all posted
