So far there aren't a lot of aftermarket parts since the car is brand new, but I'm sure things will pop up over the next few months.

It should cost around $16K with destination, but I think Invoice is around $15K which isn't bad. You could also skip out on the rear spoiler and get an Evo VII replica. Not sure if a full kit will work, but there is a company in Canada that sells them. I can't remember the url though.

It's a nice looking car, but is a little down on power. I would suggest driving it and seeing how it feels.

I went and looked at them a couple weeks ago... I like the looks.. but they are lacking in the power area.. I have no idea about comfort and handling.. for the same price, you can go get a civic.. They are both in the same sort of class, but I think the 4dr lancer looks way better than the 4dr civic.

you can get the full EVO VII body kit for the Lancer, I think like $2500.00
includes everything, hood, bumpers, side moldings ant etc..

there are bunch of things you can do to the engine, but will be costly.
Not sure if you want to drive an EVO VII look alike with 120hp and have every slamed honda/acura and etc... race you.

They make kits for every car. I always see stock civics with massive combat kits and stuff. Just make sure you get a nice kit that looks classy.

I got my Lancer oz two weeks ago, and I love it comfort and interior styling are great. I agree on the power issue though. The 120hp are ok, but their are simple things to boost that quickly. I am having a chip installed next week that doesnt void warranty (for those who worry) then I plan on getting intake and exhaust as they become available, but I'm not looking for the fake evo look. I just want to be able to burn civics when they pull up next to me. But overall I would say buy it plus I got my for only $14,000.00 so it was kinda a steal, considering I got the spoiler and 6 disc changer.
