This is what I plan on doing with my car in the near future - tinted windows, lowered, and new rims and tires (got rims and tires):

 New tail lights, customised by myself (below), but I have removed those:

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are the headlights I will be getting:

 

Replaced the ES sail panels with RT ones:

 

Well, I didn't like the first aftermarket steering wheel and got this one below:

 

This is where I moved the cruise control switch so I could keep using it with the new steering wheel on:

 

My new steering wheel (next thing coming - coilovers):

 

This is a photoshop of what I want to do with my rear windshield:

 

Here are some pictures with the new front bumper on. You can see that I have kept the pop-ups while I have gained the looks of the second generation. I also have the option to use either pop-ups or stationary lights, at my wish... I think that's pretty cool, plus I haven't seen it done to another 3000GT/Stealth.

Here are some pics of the car, before I made the front end conversion:

 

This is my car - Mitsubishi 3000GT. Originally, it was a Dodge Stealth ES, but I like the looks of the 3000GT better and decided to make a change... I plan on getting some nice rims too. The changes I have made to my car include: 1) Rear bumper cover replaced for a 1-st generation 3000GT one; 2) Side skirts replaced for 3000GT second generation ones+door caps added; 3) Roof modified to a 3000GT one; 4) Rear center garnish replaced for a 99 3000GT one; 5) Red/black interior added - seat covers and painted detailes+other stuff I have done myself (hand brake-red/black leather, shift lever knob-red/black leather, steering wheel-red/black leather, bottom door panels-red synthetic leather); 6) Racing stripes (now gone); 7) 97-99 3000GT 3-piece spoiler; 8) Head light and fog light conversion-simulation of two projectors per head light and fog light (now gone); 9) 3000GT VR4 glowing letters added at the bottom of the door frame-you see it when the door is open; 10) Aluminum racing pedals and foot rest added; 11) Simulated dual exaust; 12) Front bumper cover Mitsubishi emblem added; 13) Tail lights replaced for 3000GT ones; 14) Carbon-fiber covered windshield wipers (recently replaced); 15) 3000GT third brake decall. Soon I plan on adding Diablo or Testarossa side view mirrors... All those changes I have done myself, since I have no way to pay skyroketing prices to people who may not even do the job better than I can... I had some trouble on the way, especially fitting the 2nd gen. 3000GT side skirts, because my car is a 1st gen. Stealth and there was not enough room for the part of the side skirts, where the holes are located, to fit in. After I almost lost my hope to have the new side skirts on, I decided that I wont give up and I modified them to fit. I basically removed the caps in the back and cut some of the back until it did finally fit. Another thing that gave me some trouble was the roof conversion. What I did was, I went to a glass company and gave them a pattern of the part I needed in order to cover the gap that was left after I removed the back piece that goes between the windows and the roof of the Stealth, since there is no glass underneath like on the 3000GT. They cut two pieces for me (for both sides respectively) from plexiglass and I put those in the place of the existing gaps to cover them. After that was done, I put on the back pieces of a 3000GT with the help of some glue, foam (to fill the gap between the window and the piece), and some black silicone paste (to seal it). Well, that's about all for now, but I will be addind more upgrades in the future and more pics too. I hope you'll enjoy this site! I haven't updated this website recently, but I have updated my car somewhat... I finally changed the front bumper! I got a 94-96 3000GT front bumper and put it on. It was a pain in the rear end, because the front corner lights (blinkers) of the new bumper are located a little bit lower than the ones of the Stealth... Don't even ask me how I got them to go in, because the metal frame of the head light buckets was on the way! I also had to be inventive and do something about the gap that was created between the bumper and the pop-up head lights, since the second generation front bumper was made for stationery lights and I am keeping my pop-ups. Well, what I did was, I went to that same glass company I used for the roof conversion, I gave them a pattern of the pieces I needed for the gaps and they provided me with the plexiglass ones. Then I painted those on the inside in almost the same fashion as the stock stationary lights of the second generation are and glued them on with sylicone paste. I personally think that the end product is very good. I will soon post new pictures and you will be able to see them and leave your comments. I also had to paint the bumper, because it was red and not in the best condition. I painted it with spray paint that I bought from Advance Autoparts, since I have no money to spend on people who have the right equipment and paint to do it. According to me, I did a good job. You decide for yourselves and let me know what you think. Have fun! I added some pictures with the new front bumper on. As you can see, I also got tired of the racing stripes and took them off. Instead, I made and put on this huge Mitsubishi emblem on the hood. I forgot to list it here, but you have probably already noticed that I installed fog lights too. I plan on getting the bomex front lip soon and install it also. That's all for now. Come check again, I'll make some more changes and add more close up pics of the new front bumper. Enjoy! Hi, I changed the speedometer fascia. I put one that is white during the day and glows blue at night. Apart of that, I painted the plastic cover of the gauges crome while its original color is black, as you know. Now it looks like it is metal. I spent 4 dollars on paint instead of $40 on a metal piece from e-bay...:)

As you can see, I just installed a new steering wheel 7/12/2007). I got it from eBay and put it on myself. The next thing I am going to do is lower the car with the Ground Control coilovers. I should have it done in the next two weeks.

This is how my car used to look when I first got it - that is before the body conversion I made...

 

Here are some pics of the old interior:

 

This was last summer when my car still had the Dodge Stealth rear bumper on...
