Well as I had said in my noob thread, i'm not going to take credit for what is not mine. I bought the car with the gts front and sides. It was also tinted I believe it is 20%. I have a long list of mods in my noob thread but i will post here as there done. So my first mod of course is black out front with plasi-dip enjoy and let me know what you think. stock bummper Uploaded with ImageShack.us removed cover chrome grill removed I removed the screws on the back to seperate the chrome and grill removed grill tape off bummper masked and ready for paint I took the advise of the plasi-dip thread and painted 4 coats with 1/2 hr in between coats. finished with a crapy pict better pict
Looks good. I think you should have done the Mitsubishi symbol while you were at it though. That would look really nice.
very nice start bro GG FTW. I left my mitsu the stock color as well just kind of worked for me. The engine could use a little cleaning but im looking forward to what you do with her. There is a lack of bad ass Gray Lancers out there we need more. what do you have planned? Welcome to LT
Nice man, I plan on doing this to my '10 SE as well. I have a question though, what's that small round cover on the bumper? It appears you removed it? to plasti-dip it better?
Alot of newer vehicles have that, I believe you can pop it out and screw in a tow hook like this... I could be wrong though.
HUNK- I actually thought about painting the symbol but i decided it looked better with out. Sinestra- Thanks for the props. I agree that there aren't a whole lot of modded graphite lancers out there. Well at least well modded. Yea i bought the car and the dealer didnt even give it a detail. I just got a car wash! I could have done a better job then that. But I agree. I gave it some attention so please believe it looks much better. lol. Tallgaudet- David is right. Its a tow cover and i just felt it would have a cleaner look to remove it and paint it seperate. Thank you guys. I always apreciate the info/addvice. I will be posting some more photos here in a bit. ive been slacking sorry.
So I decided to finally get caught up on my progress report and post what I have been up to with the car and post a quick list of what is to come. So here are a few before photos. I didnt take many but here you are. Front. Back. Side. I plan to debadge and tint the tails. I will be painting the rims (just not sure if I should do black flat or glossy or graphite to match the car) maybe i'll do a poll. some interior paintig and engine bay touching with paint. just a few minor things till i can afford the big things.
Ok well I have debadged the car. I like it. Now I just have to tint the back end and it would look a bit cleaner to me. Here's some picts for you. Before. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Still has the glue and dirt. Uploaded with ImageShack.us After. Uploaded with ImageShack.us
