Need help making a decision!

I've recently got some cash so I can pick up something for the good ole lancer . I could get a custom intake for round 120ish; or some Altezza's from ebay for bout 130 shipped and everything. There's also the EVO 7 wing but I think all of it together would be some cash! 128 shipped plus paint and such. If anyone knows the average price for an Evo 7 wing to get painted let me know. ANYWAYS what do yall think Altezzas or the Intake? or even the EVO 7 wing? HELPPPPPP

Go with intake. But don't get it for looks.
Get it for throttle response and sound!

It's gonna look like a beefier version of the Injen Short ram! It's gonna have a HUGE OBX air filter on it.

Well generally out of all the short rams I bet the Horsepower numbers will be so close that you wont even tell any differences between any kind of short ram ... at least thats what I have been hearing about these other short rams.

u can get an intake on ebay for $30... and a strut bar for $30 to maybe even cheaper. but thats Ebay and some people on this forum have them and some say they are crap.

personally i'd save for some wheels cuz the ES hubs are UGLY...i know...i got mine still...ack! might take em off and just run the steelies under neath lol.

I know I've seen the ebay intake and I'm not really feeling it, it kind have this ugly look to it ... I KNOW Power over Looks but if I can pay for the same power maybe even better and WAY Better looks I'm going to. I'm looking into more show then go but I still love the go! For the strut bars I hear they dont fit and that they are for the Mirages or whatever. I plan on trying one of those freedom design ones because I hear it will fit NON CRUISE CONTROL Lancers!

if your thinking about going turbo.. then get a short ram.. cuz u can use it later w/ turbo setup if u get CAI, then if u go turbo u wasted 120ish on your cai which is pointless but if u not going turbo then go cai

You'll get more speed from the intake than the Altezzas
