Future plans... Front Tow Hook (ordered), custom license plate holder, plasti-dip front bumper evo style, window tint with plasti-dipped window channels between doors, 16" secret wheels yet to be unveiled (undecided what tire size to do yet depends on how much springs settle) and will be adding Cruise Control before the summer! Anyone nearby have a Mini VCI cable I can borrow..? I'm putting off buying one for myself.. Because I have to buy a 64 bit one!!

I have a neat idea for really budget friendly 16" wheels. I will wait until I finish them up and mount them before I unveil the idea. I have seen a few other cars do it but not all of them can pull it off.

Yes I will be sure to let everyone know how to save some dollas while looking fresh!! I'm still deciding what size tire to put on it... I don't want to go too thin and have too much fender gap.. Look like a knob.

FYI the wheels I am planning to use, I bought a set of 4 for $60 Canadian... That was an exceptional deal! However most people should be able to get a set between $100-$200. Good offset that won't rub or interfere with anything, and the center bore fits perfectly.

More to come!

Almost makes me want a 2014 or 2015 model just to do the Mitsubishi Mouth mod on it. Love that look! Nice ride.

Thanks!! Yeah the new designs are quite different. There must be a way to add to it though! Might have to do some photoshopping to figure out what could be done?

Thanks!! I'm psyched on it too. Only fairly minor changes imo completely changed the look of this car! I'm pretty happy with it so far but still more I would like to do

Did you paint or powdercoat your steelies? I think the white looks awesome!

Agreed - I like the white wheels on a white car.

Did you ever come to a solution to tolerate the rear springs?

Thanks! I just used white rattlecan paint and then used rattelcan clearcoat to finish

Thanks! I like them as well. I did replace the red lugs with short chrome acorns and I like it more. I need to also get little caps for the front hubs to help the appearance.

For winter mode I just put the OEM rears back in, but am still looking for a means to help the rears. What I mostly want is to raise the car an inch in the rear. I looked into buying adjustable threaded spacer that a lot of suspension coilover kits come with but those are hard to find on their own. I am going to try adding tubing between the coils to see if that helps at all. I will try for a thicker type of material than the vinyl first.
