NEW LANCER OWNER looking for mods.

I am the proud owner of a NEW Yellow 2003 Lancer OZ. And i am loving it. Anyway, here is the deal; I am looking for some cheap quick cosmetic mods i can do like ASAP to the interior and exterior. First i am going to change the color of the dome light. For all of you that dont know how to do it here is what you do. Take the cover of the light off. I am shure you can do it but I have not looked at it. Then you go to office max and buy a color cover sheet in the desired light color. Cut a piece to fix and voila, you have a changed light in 5 min.

Anyways, I am looking for cheap quick mods to do like this one. Any ideas out there. Also, how can I upload my own avitar?

Road///Race Motorsports One of our site's best vendors, they sell eyelids, carbon fiber reflectors, shift knobs, shifters, strut bars, intakes, sway bars, etc. Those are just some of their mods uner $200. If you ever want to make your car really go fast, they have more too.

About your colored light, would the colored film ever melt or burn up? I was going to use a colored bulb to change my dome light Welcome, and good luck.

just buy replacement bulbs that are a different color to change on your interior light. def go with an intake, either short ram or cold air, depending on your transmission type, and maybe an RMR front lip

Take your front and rear turn signal bulbs and dip them in silver paint, but before doing that cut out a piece of tape in shape of small circle or triangle and stick on bulb. that way you still get yellow turn cignal but you cant see the bulb when not flashing, really easy and cheap mod.

dome bulb size is 3022 (or 31mm?? mini dome bulb)..and forget about dippin turn signal bulbs IMO..i want to get rid of yellow all together...get some 1156 bulbs and shave off the pegs on the side of the bulb and they fit perfectly..you can get all of these cheap off of ebay.

Don't forget about the Honda S2000 antena, it fits right on, about $20 from the dealer. Exhaust tip if ya can't go for the real thing, Walmart for about $20, the list is endless, use the search or your imagination!!
