a question for RRM....

Dear Road and Race Motorsports:

I was wondering if it was possible for you to perhaps make a carbonfiber trim piece or insert for the muffler cut out on the 2008 lancer because the muffler that i have now (Apexi NI) is so close to the bumper body in the muffler cut out that the heat is effecting (melting) the material...

it would also be great to make carbon fiber cut out pieces because then a lot of people can FAB. dual mufflers by modifing the body on the other side and mounting what would be the insert cut out... because this is somthing else i would wish to do as well....

I just thought i would throw out some ideas and i know a lot of the guys would apreciate this as well. thank you!

carbon wouldn't hold up real well either unless they used BMI

Doubt they'll make it. Also doubt Rob will see this thread.

As said, they won't sell well. RRM never made it for the first couple generations (and that's with a GReddy catback KNOWN to rub the bumper!), I don't see them selling for the 2008 either.

I have the Apexi N1 and I have no problems. Maybe your muffler guy needs to redo his angle on the piping.

If you have a problem with his choices in wing, keep them to yourself. This is the "How To" forum, NOT the "Show & Shine" forum. If you're going to post in here, keep it ON the TOPIC of discussion.

Drives me crazy that nobody makes one for the 04-06 Lancers I've wanted one for years.
