    Just wanted to get a general feel. You have to excuse the medium quality of the work ;)

    I was wondering... for that wheel job, I would need to apply tape onto one color of plasti-dip (i.e. tape the black to paint the red). Would taping plasti-dip make it peel?

    I like the general overall idea of it. You like red. Nice. I wonder how it would look with a shine to it though. I don't like the flat black front though. I like it the way it is now. It would be nice to see the grill chrome the same graphite gray as the rest. and I wouldnt do the red fog lights. But that is just my opinion. You can try it out at first to see what it looks like. And I dont know the answer to your question in the second post.

    I would just debadge the whole back. Not really feeling the whole red theme.

    Yeah, I guess the red is coming out a bit too much, specially with the fogs.

    I get what you're saying, wasn't too sure about the flat black myself. But don't they do black evo's? I am guessing the front end would still be mat black (i mean what I get from the grill blackening is to get that evo look, which I really dig)


    :\ It's not graphite, it's black. LOL The sun is so strong and the car is so clean that all we see is the reflection of the gray pavement o_O


    Ok so I guess I'll start from the beginning and move up from there. It might take until next summer since it is getting cold here. I should get debadging and tinting done. I really want to keep the logo there though, I'll have to think of a way of 1- leaving it there, 2- not leaving it chrome, 3- not making it red :p

    I love all your lancers, but I like black. I've seen a select few black ones but from the pictures of the lancer meets in my region, not alot of them have black either which drives me even harder to make my black one awesome.
