Hi guys,

I've been reading some of the many posts in your forum for the past few months and have been inspired to sign up and join in with the discussions.

I currently own a 2002 Mitsubishi Magna TJ Series 2 Executive Sedan 3.5 4Sp Tiptronic. I have only made one modification so far - the new set of 18" x 8.5" Starcorp rims which I bought a few weeks ago. I polished it up the other day and took some photos which can be seen here:

2002 TJ II Magna Executive Sedan - Front Angle (http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w292/Spidey-Matt/001.jpg)
2002 TJ II Magna Executive Sedan - Rear Angle (http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w292/Spidey-Matt/002.jpg)

I have also booked it in to be colour coded on Monday/Tuesday so I will post some more images then.

That looks great mate, should look at tiniting your tail lights. Its a risk but can look really good.

Can I ask what your getting colour coded? Your whole car is already black yea?

Id side side skirts and mirrors :)


As for tinting the rears, leave em be. They look nice..

Tinting them blends them in making the rear look bland.

Can't believe i'm the first to suggest, but a nice set of 30-45mm drop springs would set that off nicely. Otherwise car's looking great, makes me wish i bought black :P.

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone brought that up. Lowering is the next thing on my list. I would have done it already but colour coding it at this point in time suited my schedule a little better.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! :)

Hey guys,

Just a quick update.

My car has now been colour coded - I have attached before and after photos (sorry about the quality of the before shot, it was the best angled photo I had to see the difference).

I know, I know, it needs to be lowered... that's the next thing I've gotta do (after washing around the wheels that is... I didn't realise how dirty it looked under there until I took that photo!).

Welcome to the club mate.

Nice to see another sexy black TJ in the club.

The colour coding looks awesome, I loved it when I got my car done too.

What % tint do you have? It looks pretty dark in the pic.

The windows were already tinted when I bought it - I've always assumed it's just factory tint but I could be wrong as it does look quite dark.
