    Also.. check this thread out.

    If I were you, I'd buy 2 cans of plasti-dip, black out the grille, bumper, and rims.
    Also I'd go with the sharkfin atenna and debadge.

    Those are just some of the easiest/cheapest mods that can look REALLY good if done correct.

    Anyway welcome to LT and happy modding!

    Lol I'll be honest.. turbo'd lancers don't make any sense to me :p
    It's a 4 cylinder 2 liter engine with 170 hp. If you wanted a fast car you shouldn't have bought a normal lancer. If you had the Ralliart or Evo X it might be a different story.
    But if you want a turbo and you like working on cars, more power to you.

    Lol I know. I mean, turbo's are cool and all.. I just wouldn't put one on a Lancer :p
    If I wanted a fast car I would have gotten a used V6 but I wanted a sexy ass car so I got a Lancer and can live with it being slightly slower :p

    Lol and Serious08 already turbo'd his car so no need to do yours :mrgreen:
     
  9. thanks guys. And i agree with the no turbo. If i wanted to blow that much money i woulda bought the evo 9 or 10. when i say performance mods im saying exauhst and intake and misalaneis stuff. Yea i know i cant spell either. But thanks for the input, if anyone has anythiong else to say please feel free to do so.

    debadge, HID = a must!, 3rd breaklight overlay is cheap and plastidip is a cheap wat to black out your rims/ front if that's something you're looking to do
     
  11. when people say debage, what emblems do you take off? and what do u use to take them off?

    When people debadge, they take off their "Lancer" and "Mitsubishi" badges in the trunk. Typically
     
  14. well thanks to the ******* animal that i smashed while driving home tonight i may not be making any mods soon. Front end buckled and plastic black grill cracked. It even looks like my radiator is buckled as well. Plastic is scuffed bad. **** Racoons, Cats, and animals that live! and i put * because i didnt know if i could cuss

    Lol swearings fine. (As far as I'm aware of?)

    But that totally sucks about hitting the animal dude.. It might turn out good though. If you can shell out the cash for an RA front bumper that would save you some time from modding. No more having to black out the bumper and you get the chrome around the lip. I don't like the normal chrome on the DE, ES, and GTS but the RA looks really good.

    And as for debading you have a few options. Easiest way to take off the "Mitsubishi" "Lancer" and Lancer logo is to wait for a hot day (85+) and just run fishing line behind the badges. Most people take off all 3 or leave the logo. When I do mine though I'm thinking about just leaving the "Lancer." Completely up to you though. Just remember, once you take them off, their off lol.
     
  16. Well good news about the racoon. It was considered comprehensive under my insurance so i only have to pay a 250 dollar deductable but i also have to pay 75 for towing. At least i didnt have to pay the 1450 dollars that it cost to fix :)
     
  17. Anyone have a underglow neon on their car? what brands are good and dont look ricey?

    I am buying all my lights off of Oznium.com
    They are a good price and the product is great... never had a problem with them.

    just a little hint kitty, don't ask other what YOU should do with YOUR car. Decide for yourself! Originality is #1 in my book. Don't look like every other lancer out there PLEASE!!!
