    Thats the same attitude everyone had about the Civics in the mid-90s. Now look at them. Putting down an easy 300 hp and then some. Remember, I have a total of $20.5k in my car. Thats a saving of over $12k over the RA and I'm putting down the same amount of power.

    KITTY: Sounds like you are more into the "cosmetics" of a car. Look at getting the RRM carbon fiber stuff and a nice exhaust. You can pick up a Mazda 3 intake off Ebay for $30 and make it work.

    Yeah that's true. I think it's all just a matter of personal preference.


    As for underglow.. there's not going to be anything to make your car look "ricey."
    Ricey would be like putting a rediculous sized spoiler on the back. It's a front wheel drive car, no use.
    I usually don't judge people purely by their car. It's more about how they drive it and how they act. If a litle civic with an exhaust, rims, and a paint job comes up next to me and starts revving, thats ricey. If a guy says he runs a 12 second 1/4 and his car runs a 14, that's ricey.
     
  3. Well i am more into the cosmetics and I dont want the car to look like everyone elses. in the triad area i live in i have only seen one other lancer. Its a RA and since my cars not common i still get asked everyday if i have an evo. people are dumb but whatever. i think im gonna do sri with exhaust and window tint. eyelids, debage, evo style front end and underglow. I get my car back today from the racoon insident so ill start tommorow. I just lost my job though so it might take me a while. although i got a new job already :) thanks for all the input guys

    Man that is a big racoon lol.

    That list sounds pretty good but I'm not a huge fan of underglow. If I had the money I'd want to do engine lighting (looks sweet through the grille) and interior glow. But then again I haven't seen many pictures of our cars with underglow so it might look good :)

    Yeah hers are okay. The best ones I've seen are the white with all magenta or all cyan. I don't remember where I saw them but they looked good.

    Yeah that'd look neat. For the most part I used blue, aqua or purple.

    Red was kinda blah and green looked gross haha.

    Yellow and white were too boring... and the rainbow modes were fun too.

    Yeah red and green probably wouldn't look all that great on your car :p

    I did like the rainbow though :)

    Lol if I had the money.. sure! Actually my friends had some of those glow sticks you can put in your mouth and they stuck them in my grille without me noticing... temporary LED's :D I should put glowsticks under my car lol. Green underglow on a white car.. ooh :)
