Thats what I'm talking about some REAL feedback!! thanks for the suggestions. I plan on getting a set of all black rims something like an O.Z wheel tire set I really want to take my time with choosing the right type of wheels because I might overlook a wheel tire set that may be better. As far as my interior I'll post some more pics of the paint it is a little bumpy in some places but still looks ok. And the ralliart badge Is something I bought and didn't know what to do with it so I put it on the dash. Ralliart is a company not a brand right? I see people with tein stickers on thier cars all the time so I figure why not put a ralliart badge on that matches my color scheme. As soon as I get a torque wrench and some caliper paint and get the time off work I will paint the calipers red. Keep the feedback coming I need some more ideas and suggestions.

i would color match the door handles and mirrors
window tint
drop
some nice wheels
change grill / or at least add the mits logo back on ,polished or silver
lip kit ,or maybe a nice body kit
and maybe some kind of spoiler

sounds good. My door handles are black but you are saying to black out the rear view mirror? and the only lip kit I see is for the 04 and up lancer. One other thing I noticed on your build you had you side markers painted. When I removed my headlights I saw those two screws for the driver side but on the passenger side the water resevoir is on that side how do you move it out the way? and did you use a soft sandpaper to sand them? I know its alot of questions but I just want to do it the right way.

i mean the mirrors on your doors and yea paint the handles also ,makes a huge diff when you paint both , becuz mine used to be black also
and what i did to take them out is loosen the bumper from the sides and pull on it a lil and use a screw driver

Thanks.Did you sand them down? because when I sanded the door handles came out rough and jagged so I stopped and just used an adhesion promoter and then spraypainted.

Oh I see what you mean now. It makes real noticeable difference when you paint the handles and mirrors. I have another weekend project yay!! handles were easy to remove?

ehh iunno i kinda know a lot about working on cars
but it was hard
wat u have to do is remove all the parts on the inside of the door and you gonna need a extension and a socket to remove them , its only 2 bolts easy to do , and when doing that unplug your mirrors and paint them also, just mask down the glass part
