What have you done to your MS3 today?

[tiegt]

yea I really wanted to be able to see. also i just got done tinting my side markers with some modeling spray tint only did one coat so they are still very visible but don't stick out like a sore thumb with the whole white on black thing. Next is the rear reflectors, hopefully this weekend

nice job! was thinking of tinting my side markers red. want them to blend in with my red ms3 and match the rest of my red reflectors.

hmm, i wonder what tinted side marks would look like on CB?

it would look nice, but then youre committing to the blue/black theme... black wheels would compliment it well

 

[tiegt]

yea agree black side markers would look nice on CB and black rims would really set it off maybe paint or powder coat the stock rims

 

[buttdart]

blue/black > blue/other color

i did plan to go darker with the wheels in the future.

considered powder coating the stock wheels.

$400

i think thats a lot of money to just change up the stock wheels. i might paint them darker then buy some darker ones soon.

blue/black > blue/other color

i dunno, i think that the cosmic blue and gunmetal are a really good color combo too. That color is so different in different light that there really are a lot of options you can go with and it will still look great

I took photos of my new wheels and tires, I will mount them after work tomorrow. Tenzo dc-5 bronze 18 x 8 with nitto555 225/40/18 with black or silver lugs hmm. Element wheels helped me out with this. Cosmic blue

must have been the day for that. I factory matched my flying Ms on the front and back. They are now true red w/ clear coat. From a distance of about 20-25 feet the rear one almost blends into the car. You can't see it.

looks regular 3ish to me.

Okay two days ago I mounted my Tenzo dc-5 bronze wrapped with Nitto 555 225/40/18 and then put them on the car. today drove for hours and quite pleased. Then today installed Forge Black recirc, SU tubes. So that is what it is like to hold boost! pa-ching. Tomorrow another post is coming. pa-ching!

Put some yellow Lamin-X on the fog lights.
Looks okay. I think there should be a little more material there... it's like the pieces they provide are just a hair too small and you can still see white around the edges. But I'm detail oriented like that.

installed my forge valve, uninstalled my MS CAI, installed Cobb SRI, and changed tranny oil to RP max gear oil.
