Hi guys, sorry, im gonna ask ton of questions at once instead of open couple threads ... and so many questions have been discussed before, but im in rush to mod my car, so i need all of your expereinced and professional opinions... 1) EVO X front bumper style-------- A lot of peeps painted the front middle bumper and the front grill black, are you all DIY?, i dont know i should paying $ take to workshop to do it or DIY, cuz its a lil bit risky to do it myself on my 1 month old new car...but workshop charge me 150-200....( I know there is a thing called Vinly, only 50 bucks...but i hate to cut it myself...im suck at doing the art thing), any thread teach people how to do this with pictures?i found 1, but i cant find it anymore 2)Looking for a deep Loud good sound of the Exhaust Mainly go for the Good exhaust SOUND only, actually only changing the catback/muffler doesnt improve the performance much , unless we change the CAI+header+fullcat+muffler the whole breathing and farting system then it might addes 20+ horspower , or else it is only a tiny little bit difference with the OEM or the car even run slower than the stock My budget is about 300 bucks for the cat back( catback has better sound than the only muffler) 3)Cold Air Intake Choosing Any1 have any news about K&N or some famous Japanese Brand will make a CAI for 08 Lancer? so far i only know there is Injen... I trust K&N the most, cuz they concern about High Airflow+ prevent sucking too much dust into the engine... some no brand aftermarket intake filter is like a crap, low density and cant block any dust to go into the engine... 4)lowered the height without hurting the suspension Usually people change the springs only to lower the height and the suspension will break down after 2-3 years...is there any way which is not neccessary to change all the whole shocks/springs, cuz this will cost 1600+ 5) Windoes Tinting is it really a serious problem if i tint the windows without buying the anti-scract windows tint kit? Conclusion, my budget to mod my car is arround 1000 dollars to do all those things i mentioned....probably a thousand is not enough, so i need some advices from u guys thanks for replying my noob questions...~~~~
all i can tell u is ur gonna go way over 1000, as far as the suspention lowering it depends on ur rim and tire size, iv hear bout the anti strach tints but those r kinda hard 2 belive, as far as exhaust got i got a magnaflow wich i love the deep tone, painting the middle part of ur car id just use the vinyl wich u can get from pep boys jsut slapthe strip on there and cut it down 2 fit. there u have it hope i gave enough info and good luck
how much is your vinyl? it looks pretty good, carbon fibre style... and how much is your axle back exhaust? Manaflow is expensive , isnt it?
You can do a search on this forum. The questions you have asked are posted throughtout here. Good Luck.
wow those rims are like SUV wheels. tires are wayy too thin u need more rubber man change em or back to OEM haha carbon fiber is ricer to me
i personally had my window tinting scratched by the stock felt, so i would get the anti scratch kit, or just get better felt which is what i did. and as far as the bumper goes there is a how to on how to paint to the bumper from the evom forum, which is another good site for lancer info. http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=296585
