    Yeah, it throws CEL. The code says it runs leaner.

    No, I haven't started insulating the doors, should be harder than trunk, but not too hard I think. The harder part is that you must use smaller pieces of insulating material and apply them in tight gaps. I think high speed noise is most from tires and less from air resistance.

    Now, I'm working with a friend on making carbon fiber license plate mount. European license plates are wider and shorter than US plates. Stock Evo X plate mount don't fit correctly because Evo X bumper is wider than regular Lancer and curves are a little different. So, we get stock Evo X plastic mount and modify it to fit properly on my Lancer. Than we made a mold from this:

    What comes from mold is this:

    Real carbon fiber, not 3M vinyl ;)

    It needs final touches and will be ready for installation next weekend :) Will post pictures of new front :)

    Sexy. The plate bent with the curve well? It looks really bent from the pictures. Lol.

    We used OEM Evo plate and modify it a little to fit properly on Lancer, so curves are basically the same.
