Thats a good idea and I'm going with my whole interior gray I might keep the center console black and the shift knob black but I like this gray acrylic alot. The only thing is I painted my pillars white and they are superglued. I know flame me go ahead. I'm spray painting the grille with adhesive first then painting it black again as I type this reply, brb.

thanks,I used duplicolor MACH GRAY acrylic. Its a fantastic color and I'm doing as much of the interior this color as possible. I know my car has alot of miles but I'm still gonna either do an engine swap if needed. I plan on also going turbo or If I do go to another car It will be a ralliart but whatever happens I'm prepping this car for turbo. I'll have some more pics soon.

I decided to paint some more. I'm thinking about removing my ebay badge and going with the gray badge. I painted the trunk keyhole gray so I'm going to go with the gray badge.I can't decide which one I want to go with but I have yet to see gray and white theme lancer.

Uh, you really do love that paint don't ya? The grey looks better than the white IMO. I don't know about painting the keyhole for the trunk though, just gonna chip when you open the trunk (using the key at least).
