Needs to be lowered and lose the antenna. Other than that, no bad.

thanks, but the 18x8 msr wheels looks sick in person and from the side view. ill post better pics when im all done.
p.s the lip is from RRM, can't go wrong =D

-ralliart is nice for rear tails, but u cant beat the price when it comes to vht night shades! haha

needs to be lower.

the car right now is no where near a show car it just has a lip and wheels basically.

coming from someone whos seen show. if u want to get to that status you need some sort of a kit. the rear bumper on all the lancers suck so if ur not gonna get a kit thats what i would go for. next your gonna need more aggressive wheels. the ones now are just too skinny, and too high of a offset for "show" status. as i said before lower, coilovers possibly. thats just to get started.

most kits are way too ricey in my humble opinion. I don't see a standard rule that says show cars have to have a kit. Our shows in Ca aren't like that. Well anyways, you should get a rear diffuser instead. ARS sells them and they look good.

most of the show cars that dont have a kit come with a aggressive looking kit stock. these lancers dont. its a tasteful kit yes, but nothing aggressive or show like. if you had a ralliart,or an evo you could go with that without a kit. but the lancer really needs one. Look at turbotimes kit on his. thats what i would call a show car. his has been done right.

i think your standards are too high for show cars. This is how are show cars look http://hellaflush.com/. why waste money on a kit when you can just get a set of wheels and lower it to get that aggressive look.

-u forgot the CF hood!!! details! lol, and i got it lowered the other day. eibach pro kit. and i dont need coilovers. im not racing.
and the pics didnt come out as good as expected but if u saw in person its nice from the side view.. the msr rims are 18x8. stock is about the same if not 18x7.5.
but i do appreciate the suggestions

because the lancer dosent come with aggressive kits, if u pay 30k+ for a sports car, you bet it better come with an aggressive kit. but for a 20k car you cant expect to fit in with those. if u think my standards are high take it to a car show, or post pics on hellaflush and see what responses you get. not ragging on the op cause its not a bad looking car but u have a long ways to go for show status.
