Car goes back into the garage soon, with snow threatening to fall.
This winter...
New engine? If I do it, it'll be a 2.5L with twin turbo, which also means taking out the spare tire compartment, sheet metal work to cover that, and running dual exhaust.
Lambo doors.
Redone interior from the original colours to black with red accents and an MX-3 logo raised into the roofliner, possibly a backlit one on the sunroof hatch.
Lowered - finally.
Make it AWD? I don't know if it'll be feasible, but it's on the possible list.
Hmm...probably stuff I'm forgetting, but that's a decent start.

I dont like it at all
The hood and the wing on the back just dont flow with the MX3.
The front bumper and sideskirts are alright. I dont like the rear-bumper at all though.

Haven't seen an MX-3 I didn't like, I'm sure there are some bad ones out there but this is far from it. I wasn't sure about the hood (I decided not to do that one on my car but it fits well since it's all the VSX kit right? The colour is almost the same as the one I have mixed for my car. It looks great.

It was a long winter, but almost nothing got done on the car. Did some work in the bedroom though - my fiancee is pregnant, expecting in August
I got a call two days before Powerama, a car show in Edmonton, asking if I could bring my car for the show. I carted it out of the garage, dusted it off and sent it away. Went up on Saturday to check it out and got some pics:
Oops, that wasn't the car. Hmm...maybe it was this one...
Dang, not that one either. Shiny though. Let's try...
Whew...getting hot in here.
Oh yeah, that's the one.

I saw your car at Powerama.
Still not a fan of the hood, but definitely a nice MX3
