hey everybody, ive been lurking around this website for a while now looking what to do to my car, and this is what i have so far, and there is still much more i am going to do. Graphite Gray 09 lancer GTS ... CVT :[ current mods: window tint 35% ( i think ) blacked out front RRM short ram intake Greddy Tic exhaust Painted wheels black painted calipers red new pedals debadged rear 8,000 K HIDs alloy fuel door This is my car right when i got it.. I was actually really really close to getting an STI but..The payment was too high so i had to choose between a WRX or a lancer, and im still not too sure why i chose the lancer GTS but, 8O oh well.. i like it ( i dont remember if there were picture size restrictions, but sorry if they are too big ) RRM short Ram intake Me painting the front black ( well im priming in this picture ) the blacked out front My greddy exhaust! Debadged Rear pedals... (they look a little crooked,, but i dont think they are, or in person you cant tell.. idk ) Wheels Painted!!! and now my car :] My next mod will definitely be springs, but i dont know if i should go with the EIBACH sportlines, or TEIN S-techs. i think i am leaning more towards the EIBACHS but who knows. it will take me a while to save up the money for them anyways so i have time to think about it. just so yall know, i am pretty much a kid. im 18 and my parents are paying for my car. i guess thats just a perk of still being young. BUT i have paid for everything AM on my car, and will continue to. i usually work everyday after school. but anyways. what do yall think!?
very nice! it looks realy clean! question how did you black out the other part of the bumper? did you use paint?
Gillman auto huh? You must be from spring.Am I right? Nice ride. Your ahead of me but I don't have the luxuries you have lol.
hey whats goin on?! another texan huh? looks good man... and if ur from the houston area where did u get ur rims painted at? ive been lookin for a place to do that for me! but nice ride so far... and im a youngin too. only 19.. but ive paid for my car and all AM parts haha.. been workin since i was 13 lol.. slave labor! haha jk jk
thanks man! i just bought vinyl, off ebay. cost like 20 bucks. worked pretty good. and if your talking about the other part that has the mitsu symbol in it, i just painted that springs? im from san antonio! the Gillman dealership i bought my car from sold Mitsubishi, honda, and Subaru! all on the same lot. hah that seems weird to me. hey! and thanks man, sorry not from Houston. i got mine done at a local shop, i just used the yellow pages and started calling around. and yea, im pretty lucky my parents bought me a car, it was either the lancer or the wrx and i think my parents were a lil scared to get me the wrx :mrgreen: thanks!
Yeah that is weird. Gilman is right next to me here in Spring. It's a suburb of Houston. Guess I was wrong lol. :lol:
just a question man.... i ended up finding a place but they said theyre gonna charge me $129 a wheel.. can i ask how much u paid per wheel??
i can't wait till about a year from now i have a friend that will be working at this powder coating place the powder coat the big steel doors on my ship and he said he could do my rims for me! a rreally shiny black coat! with the symbol coated red! can't freak'n wait i'll be sure to update you guys! i'll talk to him about doing other rims... they have a ton of colors like blue, gray, white, yellow & a few more!
see ya i wanna get mine done in white and noone here seems to do that?.. which i think is weird cuz if uve ever been to houston everyone has rims! so i dunno ill keep lookin but i like applegts's rims and wouldnt mind drivin a lil if they can do them for a good price...
i paid 50 dollars a wheel, and i paid 75 dollars for all of the calipers painted. so thats 50x4=200 for the wheels plus 75 for the calipers, so that put me at 275. but its just regular rim paint, they were not powdercoated
