Looking good mate. Just need an RA rear bar now to complete it!

was looking at one,
not sure if the exhaust will fit on the RA slot. looks like the RA has the exhausts closer together than mine
Plus i reckon it looks good stock, once i get the bumper repaired it will look better hahaha

Maybe not, the XForce tips do seem further outboard. That said, a rear bumper with appropriate cut-outs would definitely make the dual exhaust stand out.

yeah, it was the original plan. the current bumper doesn't show the cut out for the stock exhaust much, so leaving it as is looks pretty good

Merlin tune.

How much was your cat back? Did you git it yourself or by them?

What have you done inside?

Do you have a full size spare? Thought about a custom boot floor? I made one with the mitsi badge cut through with led strips under. Looks mint!

Coilovers would finish it nicely with a RA bar ;)

RA bars on hatchbacks are so pretty! <3

Was a 2.5" axle back for $450 from X Force, put in myself

Inside - led dome lights, hoping to get dash etc done blue or a frost white. Looking for an asx cluster to put in

Was looking at getting a half decent tire to chuck on a stock rims and have a full size spare, havnt got around to it.

Was looking to get a mitsu badge that i could stitch in or something, rather than get a whole new liner. Do you have a contact for who did yours and what specifically it was?

Thanks mate

Kicking myself over that, my exhausts are too wide for the RA bumper, would have to get them adjusted, maybe a later project

I literally printed the mitsi logo (full A4 size) and stenciled it onto ply and cut with jigsaw. Bought some auto carpet felt and wrapped it, got a piece of perspex 30x30 and screwed it on, led stripped it and wired it to the boot light so when you open the boot it turns on.

I built a 3 piece raised boot. Middle part with the logo obviously.

Looks sick, might have a look into it. i get free off cuts of timber from work, might grab some ply and have a go. The led looks good as well. is there a specific carpet you need to match the rest of the boot area?
