pretty much the same, I dd my car... I do love the stainless steel over the cast material. one thing is the new header has no mounts for a heat shield, so you might have to wrap it wit header wrap or you can leave it as is like I did. to make it stealth, I sprayed it with vht hi-temp paint

I managed to get rid of the CEL. Installed the IM I got from the junkyard, retained the MAP sensor, hoses, valves excluding the EGR, which I bought new previously. Of course before installing I did another thorough cleaning. I hope it stays away! So far so good :thumbsup:

After having my bumper held together with zip ties all winter it's good to have the new bumper and fender on. Now I just have to get around to installing my morimoto halos and cleaning out my engine bay for spring.
Btw quick poll who thinks I should put my new fender stripes on. They say lancer on them and they are an FIA style stripe. If you don't know what they look like just google FIA stripes.

Oh and a while ago I finished off full 2.5" exhaust with a turbopack muffler. No biggy cept gains.

4-2-1 headers to a custom glasspax test pipe to an n1 catback with a turbopax muffler. I chopped it up so much I don't even want to think how many hours I have in making it just right. I had a twin loop on for a while but it was way too loud for my taste. This way my car still has a presence without saying "look at me."
The new bumper I got is for an 0z rally so i need the front lip and I'm not too keen on getting it from the dealer. Help me Evolutionm, you're my only hope.

Very hard to come by. Keep trying craigslist. I think that may be your best bet.

Was the swap pretty easy? Any modification you have to do to the housing? I thought about doing this to mine eventually. Also want to do my evo

The retrofit itself is fairly easy. There's a write up on it on the site. The trick is getting the halos to stay in place, then there is the matter of sealing the headlight. That gets tricky. Do not attempt without thorough research.
I didn't like just having the single halo so I converted the turn sigs to DRL's with switchbacks for a dual lit look. As far as I know I'm the first to do so, I may be wrong. Sorta went off on a tangent there.

Didn't do anything huge today, but I just changed my dome light to an led bulb. It actually makes a huge difference actually. Definitely worth it.

Nice, you should try the reverse lights & dash lights also.
