    Thats the color I origionally wanted. Got a good deal on mine though. You might want to get the EVO plate mount in front and tint the windows. You can paint the engine and spark plug cover too. Its easy and cheap. Good luck man!

    just ordered the INJEN® SP Series Short Ram Intake System will show pictures and possibly before an after video.

    idk about the plate mount. dont wanna drill holes in the bumper. so ill leave it off an keep it in the trunk. i have the rubber plugs in the front so if i need to pop it on im good haha. till then ill roll without it

    Trust me man the hardest thing I did was take a drill to my bumper! I spent 45 min and marked it 3 times before I was comfortable (kinda) with drilling holes. If you do it use a small bit and drill a pilot hole first then go larger. Dont be suprised if u have to trim with an exacto knife. You want the plugh to fit tight so be careful.

    I love the blue on the newer lancers. Graphite gray and that blue just sit perfectly with me.

    Im looking to get my turbo manifold powder coated to help keep the heat in. You think you'd be able to help me out with that.
