Thanks alot for the kind words! :mrgreen:

I'd like a nice set of five spoke wheels myself but since theres nothing wrong with these i'll do what i can with them.

Yeah i thought the Canadian GS was the only ones that came with that wing myself. I can't seem to find a good picture of one , does it resemble the wrap around on the early 90's GSX eclipses'? I'm familiar with those.

I can see how a raised spoiler can look good, just not my cup of tea thought.

Personally I think the wraparound looks great on any MX3 as long as it's the same colour as the rest of the car, if you look at JohnMX3's car, he's got a white GS with a white wraparound and it looks really really nice.

I don't have any good pictures of my gf's car with the wing on it.. I still have her factory wing though for sale...
It is similar to the 90s GSX eclipses.. Not quite as flat and wide.. hugs the back trunk nicely...

Ya, unless you get you're from overseas, the only other option is from 94-96 Canadian GS's

So got some items today thanks to crazycanadian :D !

First being some OEM floor mats.
Gave them one more cleaning after this and them look very good.

Image


The driver side rubber coating on the bottom was falling off so i grabbed a hot glue gun and bought a roll of heavy duty self liner and went to town, not perfect but alot better.


Image


Also received a front lip, didn't have any fiberglass to repair it so got some duct tape and glue and it turned out good. Picture is just it fitted not fully bolted on.

Image



Door and hatch seals were also packed in the box those will go on at a later date after i fit my front door panels and touch up on some body work thats over due.

Painted my headliner with Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric paint, also re-painted the A and B pillars in flat black since the gloss wasnt looking so great.

Couldn't get a good picture but looks good installed.

Looks nice! I've been considering something like that for awhile.

Picked myself up some EDM sides

Image

Also improved my MPG from ~26 to ~31!
A good combination of Fuel injection cleaner, octane booster for a few tanks and a can of Engine Restore.

Engine Restore is added to your oil during a change and is supposed to clean and restore performance, compression and longevity. I haven't retested my compression by after about 500 miles i can notice a difference, for the better.

What a cool idea! I've been thinking of going black for my headliner as well, but was hesitant to rip my headliner out & change the fabric, as my headliner is in really good nic. I might have to give this a shot... Was it hard to get even coverage & colour? Does it look a little funny up close?

Good work with the EDM sides - should look good! :)

Headliner was actually pretty easy to take out just have to take your time. Best advise is make sure they are light coats you put on as the paint can puddle in an area pretty easy. It turned out a lighter black but not gray, i'm sure if i put on a few more coats it would have been darker but i was afraid of it getting too heavy and sagging.

Installed it looks completely fine, the only off thing about it is it has a slight rough texture to it. I wouldn't be able to tell even if someone told me. Worst case is it doesn't come out how you want and since the headliners out grab some spray adhesive and a sheet of fabric.

Nice work on the liner!! Alittle heads up don't rub your hand on it to much that stuff comes off really easily! I did that before I did mine in suede! Plus mine turned out like a zebra which also helped in my decision!

Thanks for the tip! I painted my door panels with the same stuff and if holds up very well don't have to be careful at all. That doesn't mean im going to be scrapping my headliner for giggles though :lol: . Even if i do feel myself in the primal mood and scratch at it not to hard to re-do it or i've found carbon fiber headliner that looks pretty good that i'll put in. :freak:
