    Well the summer is almost here so time to startup some new projects :)

    I got really tired of that ugly chrome strip on the front. It was an eyesore, and caught my eye everytime. So I went with a flatblack one, from a Lancer DE. I think the front end looks a lot smoother now.

    Color-matched sharkfin antenna also arrived today but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Hope its quick and painless.

    WORKS springs also arrived last week. I'll probably install these last once I get my winter tires off.

    Hey chicken, I got it off a Lancer DE owner. I kept my original grill though cause I had to use the screws from it to screw this one. I dont think I'll be using the chrome grill ever again though, if anyone wants it. :lol: I dont know why Mitsubishi had to go and put it there, it just looked so tacky and I'm glad its gone.

    Finally got around to installing the antenna yesterday. It wasn't too bad. Just take your time marking down its positioning accurately, then putting down the masking tape. Rest of it was pretty quick. Some pics I took today.

    Nice, you'll find its worth it for sure. So far no complaints, and I really love the look.

    I just hope the adhesive stays strong through our winter months...

    Finally decided to take my winter tires off, stock ones went on. Spent all Saturday scrubbing the car inside/out (Although it did get a bit dirty at work today :( ). Found a nice spot for a shoot, around dusk time today.

    Thanks bro :) The fogs are Nokya Hyper Yellow 2500K. I got them off Ebay about 6 months ago for $25 and they're still going strong as you can see.

    looks nice!

    Guys in the USA..be careful with HIDS in the near future...DOT has now made it illegal to install HID lights into a headlight housing designed for a halogen bulb. There are certain LEO'S around the country that are even doing roadsite spotchecks that will land you a pretty costly ticket if caught with them installed.

    StreetGlow as a manufacturer had to stop selling our HID kit because of this new DOT law...it's also now illegal to sell HID kits that are designed to be fit into a housing designed for halogen.... just trying to give ya'll a heads up!

    Finally got around to getting the WORKS springs installed. I'll definitely get around to taking better pics, once I get alignment done in a few days.

    So far, so good. The humongous wheel gap is gone, but the drop isnt too excessive that I'll suffer in the winters here. The 18" wheels seem to fill the wells a lot better now.
