    red? thats not a bad idea... what i recommend tho is to black out he chrome part around the mitsu sign and paint the mitsu sign red as well so that u have more red than just the strip around it... just my two cents tho... ive never seen that before tho.. good thinkin!

    You arent the first to think of this. Someone had done a photoshop job of it, and it came out pretty dope. So far, however, i have yet to see anyoen attempt it. Wouldnt be hard.


    Where is that damned post...

    Yea its a lil old, but with the changes and all that it probably got lost in oblivion. Still, it looked pretty cool, even tho i aint too fond of the whole RA deal.

    Maybe set it off with a bit of red pin striping on the sides or rear?

    exactly, but he deff. should have matched the red's on the mitsu logo haha
    that what i was thinking, but i kinda want a little larger trim piece,
    thats why i was wondering if i sould go outside the exsisting grille,(like the picture above), or my other idea consisting of buying the second lower chrome trim piece from the dealership.
    and then sand, prime and paint both grill pieces. The only problem here is that they would not connect all the way around, becuase of the middle portion of the bumper.
    i think that i will go with the strip, maybe try and find a little thicker one, and try to get it as striaght and lookin as clean as possible.
    i will deffinatly make sure to take lots of pictures 2 :D
    thanks for the help!

    true true. he bought the trim red he didnt paint it. so idk i guess it would be kinda hard to match it exactly. o well thats prob just something you would only notice looking really close. im sure from a distance you cant really tell

    your dealership.
    (not all dealerships carry them)
    they came out as an option on second generation 2009's.
