Hi guys!

It's been a while since the last time I checked here..

Anyway, my L200 is about to be retouched which will start on Monday.

First off, Im from Cebu & I need your opinion on what color do you think is better and also ask if which of the accessories would fit better with the paint that will be used..

Here's a pic of my L200 which was taken 3yrs ago.. More or less the unit still looks the same but with a few more rust and some bumps on the front bumper..

I like how my pick up is being set up as it looks very astig! hehehe

So, here's my question. Which of the paint is more nice? The paint of my L200 or this one posted below? Also, do you guys think that if I use the same paint would it be better if I use the stainless bumper or the plastic bumper?

Here is a pic i checked on the net:

Gemini:

Stainless:

Center Bumper: 2,620


L200 '90-97 Front Center Bumper Stainless by kingceltic200.1, on Flickr


Extension bumpers: 530/ piece & I need both so 1,060

Actually, I like the plastic bumper problem is I dont think it will fit with my stainless step board and my rims, right?

Can plastic be chromed? I've heard that chromes are only for metals, is it true?

If you check on my Front Grill above the whole front grill is being chromed however the sample pic I took above has a black paint on its center

Here's from Kapitan parts:

Also,

Looking for this specific Deflector Rain Gutter for 1997 Mitsubishi L200.
I need the same rain gutter coz I dont like the new black ones on the market right now.

I was told that this rain gutter is onlny available in Banawe..

If you guys have it pls contact me asap * 09216593916

wow >.> so lucky..i wanted a plastic bumper..but its hard to find here in cavite..but atm im saving for offroad tjm bumpers :D worth 25-30k ..but worth naman :D

but im still searching for front grilles kasi bali bali na ang mga clip nito kaya atm naka alambre ito ..

*pierced.Go for the dark grey color and plastic bumper. I think your grille is already repainted sinced its all chrome..orig is black center/headlight and chrome on sides..
and there are chrome paints for plastics AFAIK

Yep they'll separate the bed.. Wouldve been ok if scrape to metal problem is I dont have time anymore.. It'll cost so much time.. I need this truck by end of the month.. I was involved in an accident and that's the reason why the hood's been body filled entirely hehe

i'll post more update..

Final coating is done.. Buffer nlg ang kulang.. Im in doubt right now whether to have it chromed or swap my rims.. Any advice? I'll be posting the rims soon.. Im not going to have it re-upholstered since i'll have it detailed 1st before making my decision..

Here are the recent pics:
