my gunmetal mx-3

[marshmallow15]

ok people your opinion. i don't mind good or bad opinions as long as OTHER mx3 members don't argue with each other.<p>basically, this is as simple as i want to be and still have a little aggresiveness. as you can see, i'll have some 17x7.5 buddy club bronze RIMS, regular stock hatch garnish (i know there's a spoiler in the pic.. i couldn't psp it out), a stock v6 lip spoiler, fx or onderground sides (or maybe the new gforce ones), and the onderground rear. the color of the car will be a medium gunmetal. the hood and lip will be a slightly darker gunmetal (not to imitate cf, just to be different) and the headlights, turnsignals, and front sidemarkers will be SLIGHTLY smoked to a light gray. i plan on keeping my rear plate i just wanted to see what it'd look like.<p>copy and paste link: http://www.geocities.com/driftingboogie/vhtnight_front.jpg

I think it looks gay with those rims and stock signal lenses. Just my .02 cents ...

[marshmallow15]

you don't think the stock sidemarkers make it look more 'subtle'? i think clear lenses would contrast the color scheme too much.

from what i can imagine, it might look cool, but i'm not sure how exactly it will come out since i never see the pics.

The gunmetal color and the rims match perfectly. Really love the color, very original too. I suggest a smoked turn signal and side marker rather than the stock amber color. I was also looking at your interior pictures, and i suggest you change the color of the interior too, since it wont match the external color of the car @ all.
but thumbs up for the color and the rims.

[marshmallow15]

actually im smoking them out too, but not to full black, just to a light gray and where you can still see some of the amber.<p>about the interior, i think it'll match ok. aside from the black and white interior, im going to have a lot of polished aluminum parts for the euro-spec look such as gauge bezel, pedals, door sills, headunit, gunmetal shift knob, rear strut bar, etc. to help contrast the interior a bit more.

Has a "goth" look to it (not saying that's good or bad) - just the impression I get from looking at it. If that's what you were going for, then I'd say you're heading in the right direction.

[marshmallow15]

not really goth... i like to call it more 'stealth'.. heh. i like how dark colors really hide the bodylines of the mx-3 and make it so mysterious.

i dont like the head lights the side skirts and the rear bumper, other than that looks very nice. oh are you getting buddy clubs or knock offs for 175 and what size? i still think the wheels look hella nice<p>[ May 21, 2003: Message edited by: Steeb ]</p>

Dude, im surprised at the bad taste on these boards. Your nuts if you dont like that gunmetal, that makes it look SOOOOOo sick. I totally say go for it, that color is like one of the sickest colors, and the rims fit it pretty darn good.
