No decals. Looks nice and clean without in my opinion. Nice shots man. Not too shabby for a point-and-shoot. lol

Might just do some subtle Roll call stickers along the sideskirts - but in a tastefull color.

Re: Project: Default

So since my 05 had slightly oxidized - I couldn’t find a DupliColor Perfect match for my car. I grabbed a few “similar” cans and thankfully the sales associate let me take them out to the parking lot to see which was a closest match.

Turns out – Toyota also has a black mica that has similar metallic flakes to our 16W and was as close-to-perfect to my oxidized paint

So FYI to other 16W Black Mica owners:
Toyota Black Mica
1/2oz Scratch Fix TY01566
5oz Auto Spray 8801566
8oz Perfect Match BTY1566

Go for it dude, I think it would look great on black mica... Especially with the red calipers :)

Found a pic someone took from the Lumpia meet. (Mine is the black, almost-stock one on the left. I knew if I parked next to a nice looking car, my ride will eventually get included in a pic LOL)

So it IS the wheel gap. I was hoping it was the 16" rims (cause I have 18's waiting for tire under my bed)

Meh - probably collect the parts during the off season and slap everything on in one shot come next spring

Got the Mitsu for the wifey sometime around the Fall last year (September maybe?)
Its a hard comparison - tuned 5-speed vs stock auto
But IMHO, the 2.0L auto Lancer isnt ballsy enough for me. Not sure if its the motor itself or the auto-tragic transmission
However, in stock form - it has a lot of safety features (which lowered my insurance) and cool standard features (heated seats, fog lights, one touch up and down DS window, AUX jack, etc.) The interior is so-so - comparable to a Civic. (But thats where Peter is going to come in handy :D LOL )

the 10 year warranty and the 0% financing was the kicker though.

I started modding it to mimic the styling on my 3. HID's, amber sidemarkers, Yellow LamnX fogs.
I also got an OEM GTS rear wing put on recently, and I also purchased OEM 18" rims which I plan on powdercoating next season

Initially I had plans for building an “all-show, no-go” car – but I don’t think I can NOT take my car to places like I have these past few months.

Really not sure what I want to do this year.
Any suggestions? Comments? Troll me, I don’t care LOL.

What should I do next?

Thanks for looking
