meh, dont like the color on it, maybe its just because the wheels are so small, just looks kinda cheap, def get the 18s when you can. 18s you wont feel any worse of a ride.

i would have used the money you paid for the eyelids and front part for a nice drop or toward some new wheels. miscellaneous mods like those look really out of place on a stock lancer.

I like it. Do what your heart desires. It's your money.

What I dont agree on is storing it during the winter. Why not just drive it? It's not a lambo

i have a 2nd car already so, storing in the winter is not going to put any burden on me, ie. finding a new car...lol...plus i have garage space for her so i thought i may as well do so. I might drive her through winter, i did that with my '09. thanks for your feedback, i think it came out ok as well, not bad for a weekend and some rattle cans...lol

I'm sorry bro but the gold on red is horrendous and the 16's look funny cuz they're not proportionate to the rest of the car.

Thanks for your feedback, and as far as proportionate goes, the 16's are stock so nothing i can do there. I am going to get 18's next summer, just wanted to have some fun with these and test out the color scheme. Black on red is so overplayed IMO wanted to see how they would look. As of right now I like them, but deff. wish they were bigger myself.
