yeah, ill definitely have new pics up by saturday, at least im hoping thats when my car is done. i plan on blacking out the whole middle of the bumper, so im hoping it turns out the way i want it to, plus another little goodie, which is the reason by car is in the shop

$75 don't buy much now a days. Good thing about CF is you don't need to pay $100 for color matching a FG grill. They sell faster than we can make them. Wish we had mass production setup but we have one mold and that means CF and FG parts come out of the same mold. Figure about one a day comes out of the mold.

You're right, and that's why I got the CF one. I mean, most shops charge an arm and a leg to paint the smallest thing on a car. So unless you plan on painting the grill yourself with duplicolor or something, which would be a waste, then the extra $100 for the CF one is worth it. Just install it and go I would kill to see the CF on a WW 08. Now that's sexy

It looks good, just a little too subtle though. It should catch the eye more. Nothing you can do about that obviously. And that is a high price for just a little carbon fiber. But for those who will notice it and appreciate it they should like it.

THer is more to come. In person with the rest of the front end in frame it has a more dramatic effect.

didnt realize a lot of these new lancer owners were so cheap? haha. CF peices arnt cheap people. Especially one off peices like these, right out of production from RRM. you can probably attempt to make one yourself out of FG for $50 but you need some FG skills and GL getting your hands on carbon fiber material for a decent price.

The new parts are looking good. 03's are almost a lost cause. lol

THey took longer than I thought but they do look great. Picts don't do justice to some of them.
