    Was really hard to find decent lug nuts to fit these wheels..

    And the result. Should have actually washed the wheels first :lol:

    Digging those lugs. They blend into the wheel nicely.

    Thanks! Got my Tow Hook in today. And I got a Flickr account too finally! Certainly an acquired taste, but I love it!

    I like that photo spot. I have a strange feeling a cf hood will look good on GG.

    Thank God we are on page 2 lol...too many pics on the first page. And yea I think it is a love it or hate it type thing. Obviously it's functionality is not needed on my car but it adds a unique touch imo. Thanks! Yea I'm always trying to find better places to shoot photos at, my town is pretty small(10,000 people) So I am running out of spots haha.

    As for the CF hood, it does look great! Ive seen a few Thunder Gray Lancer's with CF hoods and I love it! I want to get one this summer hopefully, as my hood has 100's of chips :(.

    Your tow hook is growing on me. Looks pretty good. You should get your valve cover powder-coated. Lime green would be sick.

    Ive got one, the cheap ebay one, and I had to cut part of one of the corners(with a grinder wheel) to clear the tranny case. Now I still don't have it installed as I need someone with a tranny lift because you have to lift up on the tranny about an inch or so to get the bolt out that goes through the H brace up in there. Also you will have to remove your oil filter if you don't want to bang and dent it all up while trying to get that bolt out..It is a process lol. I will install mine one of these days...Hope this wasn't too confusing, I need to get pics of what I have cut and how it is supposed to fit the auto lancer.

    Thanks man! I want to have my valve cover chrome polished actually, If I get it powder coated I want it to be red fading in to black.

    lol chrome valve covers never look like shit as long as they are mirror polished. It would only cost me about $150 but The guy who does them that I know will need the cover for like a week...meanwhile what am I supposed to drive haha.
