Making the Metris look better.

Put up a couple pictures so we know what you're starting with

I personally think it looks perfect...

But I like minimal design.

I already changed my fog lights to HID and waiting to a "retrofit kit" for headlights because I don't want to blind people on the opposite site. Not much to notice anyway.

I might try my skill to "Plasti Dip" the front bumper with flat black to make an "X" from the upper grill to the bumper: it would look a little more aggressive that way. If anyone did it already please post a picture.

Thanks for the links. Those lip kits look nice but the prices are a bit high for me. Especially for fiberglass.

I hope you plan on adding some protective film or something that will prevent the bumper sill from getting scratched up. Paint Protection Film can do it for you...

Nice!

Any wheel recommendations? I'm thinking of a 19" version of this wheel.

Please be aware of weight ratio of your tires. Metris is very heavy van and need 101 or 103 load rated tires.

Yep. My 19" tires have a 102 load rating.

I see you're in NYC. I'm thinking of picking up my Metris on a trip back east in a few weeks and then driving it back out here to Denver. Did you have a good experience with your dealer? Where'd you wind up buying it?

That will be a great start to breaking in the metris since I think there are two break in's, the first being what gets the engine all up to par with where it should be - with the special oil it comes with - and then a number of oil changes down the road the MPG's stabilize (second stage)

Sorry I do not prefer to answer that. I bought exactly what I wanted and for the price I want. This caused my experience to be different than others. Most people are ok with settling for something that is readily available to the dealership and willing to pay MSRP or close to it. I'm not that type of person.

ah that's something I will need to look into. I thought the first service was at 15k though I'll probably do it sooner
