    i dont know how the 04s type rear end would look on an 02,03. the 02's are more boxy and the 04s have a lot more curves

    Exactly, would look funky, and then you would have two spots to put a license plate lol.

    We're sittin on ~7" right now. I love toyin' with the e-brake. Get a fairing for that rack asap, dude! You'll love the wind noise reduction and the better MPGs. We all know they suck in the winter anyhow.

    It hard finding a fairing that will fit my rack, because This whole rack is the snowboard rack, like I didn't buy a separate rack or an attachment for snowboards. So i dont have that area where the fairing loops around the bars to attach it self. Im emailing yakima and thule to see if there is any solution.

    You should make one, like a lot of folks do. Old plastic hunks, or snowboards and skateboards make excellent fairings. Plus you can bomb them with stickers and stuff like everyone does.

    I'll deff look into that FAC3L3SS.

    A question for you guys, do 16 or 17s look better on our cars? My dad wants to buy some all season tires. Might as well get rims. I wanna use the tires i get for awhile soo these rims will be on my car forawhile. haha. let me know wich size and ill post the rims im lookin at. i know you should 2 pairs of tires and rims but, money is tight right now ill get dedicated winter or summers next year.

    Personally I would go no higher than 16's. Everyone that has 17's personally go against my taste. I like to sit really low to the ground. I havent seen that with 17's on a lancer yet.

    16s = still in performance range, IMO. 17+ = more "show." That's just my opinion, and for base model lancers. Obviously that changes with Evos, other cars, etc... I think some 16s would be perfect, especially for what you're using them for. All season tires will be cheaper, you'll have more meat, and like Jog said, you'll be lower to the ground, which is good.
