I painted my interior on my old lancer for pretty cheap, maybe 60-70 dollars. Took my time used quality paint and came out pretty good.

I just repainted my brembos and they came out awesome. I don't know if the new evos have the problem but mine sure did! Pretty cheap too. Maybe cost me 20 dollars.

So far I've... Painted my wheels, tinted my tails and side markers, added a s2000 antenna, recleared my fading wing. On the performance side of things... I haven't come across anything yet that was worth paying a shop to do... but bolt ons are pretty easy lol.
