Update time 
on easter i replaced my alternator, alternator belt and changed my oil. Car runs much better now, no more chirping or squealing from the alternator. I got an oem one, $267 or something like that. Didnt wanna take a chance with an aftermarket one. Plus, it was only $30 more for an oem than an aftermarket.
Then yesterday while i had off from work still, i lowered the front more and cut some of the plastic out behind the fender, vacuumed the interior and trunk and cleaned in and out. And got some pictures

Hey I just figured out that you can do auto illumination with the LED glow lights. I wired mine so when ever you open the door it lights up the floor. You can do headlights etc. I'm telling you this becuase I told you I can't so I hope that didn't detur you from buying it

Btw I'm trying to figure out if I can escape rolling my fenders with a 16x8 +25 paired with 215/45 tires. Any info will be appreciated.

That's cool, the miatas are popular within the stance community so there should be a lot of support. I would love for you to keep the lancer but I understand how that goes. So however it works out should be great. Btw I'm trying to figure out if I can escape rolling my fenders with a 16x8 +25 paired with 215/45 tires. Any info will be appreciated.
You could get away with it but in the front your tire will probably start bending the lip on the fender outwards which is what happened to mine from steering and what not before i got them rolled. Now it depends if youre gonna be dropped. Stock height, you should be fine. dropped alittle bit, you may need to and ifyoure slammed, you will need to
In the rear the tire may be touching the inner cover that covers part of the strut so you may need like a 5mm spacer but im not 100% sure on that

Thanks for the info on the wheel and tire setup, I'm not sure what I'm going to do just yet but I know I'm definitely going with 16s. Wish me luck lol!
