ChokingChicken's progress *8/24/2008* RRM Exhaust

Yeah I'm pretty annoyed with all the paintchips on my front end and the back of my sideskirts. I gotta get some place to buff them over.

Damn that sucks about your rim though. Those are the hardest things to fix on this car too!

 

Thats cool man.

Now have you tried photoshopping different rim colors? I tried black powercoat, gunmetal, and it didnt really look good against the blue. Looked very dull, not enough contrast.

So I've come to realize that gold or bronze rims will look best on our car!

 

With his carbon fiber hood, I think gunmetal will look great. I think gold would present too much of a contrast with the carbon fiber look he is going for. All he needs after side skirt cf is the mirror caps KRU is making and a CF trunk . Of course all of this is assuming he is going for a blue/cf look :lol:

 

Yeah I get what you're saying Drifter. But where I got the idea for the gold rims is from the Suby STi's - The standard combo is the Rally Blue + Gold rims and it works so good. Doesnt have to be flashy gold, just a light bronze even. It'll look so sick!

 

Well i found some OZ rims on Tirerack which I thought looked really good on our car. You can see the View on Vehicle tool to get an idea of how they might look.



But yeah I just love these things. And can you imagine the looks our cars would get, rolling around on those? *Drool*

 

Yeah except they're so pricey. $350 per rim. Total with shipping and duty to my doorstep is $1700. Then you factor in some extra dough for getting them mounted and balanced and you're looking at close to $2000. Way too much just for some wheels

 

i agree those wheels would look good on electric blue, rally red, wicked white , and tarmac black. it wouldn't look so good on the apex silver, graphite grey, aqua green, desert beige. i know i did't have to put the exact color of the cars, but had nothing better to do.

choking chicken, your ride is coming along nicely.

 

Where is your front license plate?

 

maybe in canada you don't need one.

 

In our particular province in Canada, it is not needed.

 

Damn those are nice i really want to see pics once you hook it up. Electric blue with those wheels would be unique and seriously hott.

I wish i didnt need a front plate but Maryland is so strict it sucks the Lancer just isnt built to have one its looks horrid.

 

Yeah there were some discussions of introducing front plates again in our area, but fortunately after some polling against this decision, they decided to leave out the front plates Thank God!

 

Your car is by far one of the best I have seen. Keep up the good work. I hope I can get mine looking like yours. :wink:

 

love ur car! cant wait for the cf side spat to come in hahah =)!!!!!!!!

 

where did you buy the shark fin?
