Honestly the front bumper and hood look really weird. I don't know why? Kinda like its needs a nose job. Also if you do get it, make sure you get a good HOOD; trust me I've learned from experience.

I'd go for suspension first. I've never got anything from accolade, but all I hear are 80% negatives and 20% positives.. I don't want to start a battle now, because some people said they have changed and now make a good product, but there are still very many people that say their products are junk. Its up to you.
Product Cost + Shipping + Prep + Paint + Install = Greater cost than suspension.

I had a fiberglass body kit on my old eclipse.. I accidently BARELY nudged a parking block and it made a nice gaping hole in the front bumper. Luckily I'm pretty good with bondo/fiberglass and I fixed it so you couldn't even tell. I would go with polyurathane kit. I heard you can't mold them to your body though.. not sure about that. I wouldn't mold it anyways if it was a daily driver b/c it would crack sooner or later. But if you get poly, you are going to get a much better kit, especially if you get into a little fender bender. All you would have to do is re-touch up the paint or repaint. Polyurethane is like rubberized plastic, so it bends instead of cracking like fiberglass.

why do people always want to make theyre car look like an evo. i would get pretty embarrased whenever someone takes me on the road and i lose horribly.

but as far as the bodykit goes, it looks weird in the front and then again its accolade.

no but seriously who else makes a good kit for the 0203 lancer? i like tire rods kit.. his car looks nice. i guess i don't really want my car to look like an evo, i want it to look unique.. i do like the evo7 tech.. it would look nice with some mesh in the spaces
