all the reds on page 8 look too similar to your SMR paint, so it would be better to just redo the original paint color and avoid a problem down the line. However, i always loved Redondo Red Rock pearl, I mean, so damn rich and thick looking.






or Morracan Red Pearl:

^trust me the m3 red is alot brighter than smr. i seen them in person and once or twice they've pulled up next to me in traffic and that red makes mine look so dark. smr isnt all that bright anyway, its more of a darker toned red. yea i agree alot of those reds on page 8 look similar to smr.

The 03 mirrors usually go for less then $200 for the pair used. You probably can get them cheaper by picking up a scratched set since youre getting it repainted anyway.

I think this is a mod Ill do in a year or so. I want to make sure Im keeping the car for awhile before I do this and get a repaint.

or you can look into the lancer evo rally red if youre not stuck on the M3 red... but by the looks of it i think youre gonna go with that

i found a set for $130 but i dont really care about the mirrors honestly.

Your mirrors give a nice contrast with the paint IMO....Also, it goes with your headlight and tint.

I wouldnt change em if I were you...

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea i was thinking the same. also with my lower grill.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

While they do offer a bit of contrast, I think the black part on the door itself looks cheap

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

at times i feel the same way but im just going to leave it the way it is.

You might as well get the mirrors to compliment the rest of your 03 parts:

"'03 Tails, '03 Fog Inserts, '03 Grille, '03 Headlights"

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

Yea I probably could lol. I'm just going to leave it the way it is. I'm just focused on finishing my car this summer. I hope to be 100% done by june at the lastest.

iTrader: (1)

100%? hahahaha
a car is an exponential equation...gets close to 100% complete, but never quite there. you will always find that one more little thing you want to change. looks damn good man!

Lol I'm knew someone was going to say to this. You might be right. But really after my paint and rear lip the only other thing I got planned is a bbk and I already got that on deck waiting for me. I'm just waiting for the guy to take it off his car so I can buy it. The car is currently in storage. Then I think I will be done. There's nothing really I think want to do to it after that. Oh and thanks I been looking at yours for so long and wanted that kit so bad. Not many smrs on here.

i think a wheel change may be in order. lately ive been thinking about going down to a 18 or just stay with my current set. i cant make up my mind though. i think they might be up for sale or trade soon.

jchau2007

nice lip spoiler... never seen one before

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

my rims are offically for sale. im going to sell them and get the exact same rims but in 18s. mainly cause i really like them and im the only person in jacksonville with them. i think ill be posting a black market thread for them soon.



thanks. cant believe youve never seen a lip spoiler before.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Sweet! Honestly, I wouldn't get anything bigger then 18s, and I used to have 19s.

Just make sure those wheels can clear the RL calipers. (yea, thats right, Im telling you you have to get them)

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

lol will do sir. my new ame fins will be 18x8 +43 18x9 +43 im going to run spacers to stance it more. im just worried about bbk clearance. im thinking with spacers i should be fine.

When you get 18's what will you do to offset the space left because of a smaller wheel? Will you lower the car more or just leave it?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

thats one of the two reasons im going smaller. i want to go lower. the other is that i want a little bit lighter rim.

I went out and bought the 02-03 TL lip and was going to put it on but I scrape going thru some driveways and parking spaces now without it and I figured the only way it would work for me without a lot of frustration from scraping all the time is I would have to raise my car and if I raised it I would need bigger than the 18's I have now or else it wouldn't look right. For now I'm pretty sure I'm not going to put it on because I don't want to run any bigger than 18's but that's just me.
