    trust me, it's red, it was just the way the light hit it that makes it look orange...ish

    and the fuse box :)

    just for the fun of it i painted my tire valve caps the same color, and it looks pretty nice :)
    i'm thinking of painting my lug nuts red as well, so i'll take a picture when i'm done

    sooooooo i haven't updated my progress report in a loooooooooooooong while. Mostly because of school, work, and i couldn't really do much since i was running short on cash :( HOWEVER, after all my hardwork, i've rounded up enough money to once again improve my little 2.0. I'll post pictures later on this week. but for now this will have to do.
    new upgrades:
    - Since i kept getting pulled over for my tinted tail lights, i cleared the outside tail lights and kept the inner lamps dark :)
    - Finally fixed my headlight socket and got my HID's 8k, now i just need to fix the DRL flickering light problem (any suggestions? i was pointed out to look into the JROX DRL Bypass Harness, any other suggestions?)
    - Injen Cat-Back Exhaust on the way
    - Once the cat-back is on i'll order maybe the RPW 4-2-1 headers
    * anyone have the RPW pulley on their Lancer? if so please PM me or reply i've got question about it's performance**

    :)

    So the HID are still on their way (had some problems with them, returned them, now new ones coming in) and the Injen SES cat-back exhaust is completely on. I turned it on and sweet mother of god it's really loud lol. 0.0 at least really loud for a "mild" exhaust. Anyone know how many decibels the Injen cat-back exhaust gives off?? i'm thinking of buying a decibel meter and read it myself before i get a ticket for my exhaust >.<
    other than the sound, the exhaust has some minor leaks that i need to tighten up but all around i love the exhaust, just wish it kept it's word of being a "mild" exhaust lol pics will be up later on today

    ok everythings is on, all that's left is to get rid of the SES light but that's a quick 5 min fix anyway here you go:

    1st of all, i got sick of getting pulled over for my tinted tail lights so i took off the outside lamp's tint

    Exhaust looks good, and for some reason I actually like the half tinted tail lights. I've seen it on a few of ya'lls cars on here, and I don't know what it is about it, but it looks alright.
