Raikiri's RA

Raikiri · Mar 16, 2009, 04:19 PM

So it turned out to be such an awesome day so I decided to take some pics of my car. This is my first time showing the members of EvoM my full pictures of my car. Hope you all enjoy!

Constructive criticism is very much appreciated

looks good man!

maybe take off the dealership licenseplate frame?

Raikiri · Mar 17, 2009, 06:40 AM

Yeah imma replace it with the RRM license plate eventually... maybe next paycheck when i order something else from them as well

Looks good...if I didn't have black, I would have gone with white. On a related side note, I'm debating whether or not to get a VG for my car.

Random question though, did the pinstripe along the side come with the car when you got it? I've seen a few RAs on here that have it...most do not.

Mine came from the dealer with it.
I ended up taking it off.

very nice clean RA =) hows the short antenna working out? Lose a lots of reception?

Tinted windows would look mean on that car. Your car is very similar to mine with the mods, still waiting for a vid of your exhaust so i can hear it, can you list all your mods?

nice RA! looks really similar to mine

did you install those projectors? if so, how much, where'd you get them, and finally, were they a b***h to install?

It came like that from the dealer but I'm not sure whether or not I want to keep it on there

The antenna is pretty sweet but it actually kinda messed up reception a little bit... probably would go for the 4-inch instead of the 2 but I really would like to get tints... maybe once i finish with all my upgrades to the car first.

The video will be up once I get the car back into shape.... someone hit my car earlier today and messed up my back bumper

I installed the projectors myself. They were about 240 from ebay and they weren't so bad in the install... installing them with HIDs took all about 3 hours taking bumper on and off with alignment without anyone to help me.

solesearchin · Mar 17, 2009, 10:51 PM

man i definitely need to get projectors

parrishr13 · Mar 17, 2009, 11:07 PM

i want to get some projectors, but i have no clue on how to take my bumper off! and im not an electrical genious, so if they aren't plug and play i would be screwed!

Raikiri · Mar 17, 2009, 11:22 PM

There's the how-to on taking the bumper off in the regular 04-06 lancer section... its basically the same thing... and i'm probably just as much experienced as you are parrishr13... I kinda figured it out as i was going along...

mmmm the ebay ones should be plug and play. the tutorials in the how-to-section are mostly for 04 and 05, after a long time of playing with my 06, I find out how to install my projectors. If you need any help then PM me about the 06.
