You did a great job of painting it will look nice when your done with the two tone. Did you do a drop already? i can't really tell with the kit you have on. One last thing why is it ricey ? handmemyarms I don't want to fight over this I just don't understan how.

what colors are u going 2 tones with?

nice kit, maybe get a small spoiler cuz our lancers have big asses, ya need a spoiler to even it IMO.

and yea, for a sec i thought the front was a rsx. not bad looking, just gotta throw in some mesh grills in the front openings.

and the ride height looks sorta high.

Not saying anything bad about the man's car... it is what it is, and I take it he wanted it to be that way, but I do have to agree with the statement of it being ricey... and I will explain why. The kit looks like it wasn't even supposed to be on that car... it's to bulky and does not flow with the body very well and the huge decal on the back window only adds to it. With it being a different color (even though I know what he is wanting to do later) makes it all that much worse. The exhaust tip is too small for the back end of the car now, and the carbonfiber/gold/silver tritone makes it look too much like parts were just thrown on.

Once again, not saying anything bad about the man or his car... because in the end the only person that has to like it is him. I was simply giving my thoughts to the why it looks ricey.

Not a fan, sorry. The kit is simply too bulky and too aggressive for the car, it looks like the car went on a huge binge of McDonalds and KFC. The decal is just too large and as for the two tone paint job plan.....the less said about that the better. On the plus the rims are nice.

Where are you going to get a DOHC for this car? Last I checked they were rare and usually had to be imported.

I don't think you can just use the eclipse block, nor do I believe you can simply drop the eclipse engine into the car since you'll have to worry about not only mounting points but how the engine/transmission is arranged. You'd be better off just turboing the car, realistically you don't need or really want more than 300 hp on a lancer anyways what with it being front wheel drive and all.
