Depends on your budget....if you're really broke get the eyelids, if your semi-broke get the lowering springs, if your kinda broke get the AEM and if your definition of broke is $500 get the Greddy CAt-Back exhaust

I would do this in the following order:

1. Tint ($200)
2. Intake ($150 - $250)
3. Wheels & Tires ($1000 - $1700)
4. Exhaust ($500)
5. Body Kit and custom paint ($?)

Skip the eyelids unless you still feel you need em.

Have fun with it!

I already have a wing and eyelids

I bought the Xenon headlights at Carlisle, but they were the wrong ****en ones, so now I have to PAY to send them back to get the right ones.....I'd rather pay $5.95 to ship them back then to buy a whole new set.

Window tint, finding out a price tomorrow, if I can't find it fairly cheap, I'm having TB do it

I would go for springs because they will help the way it handles and the way it looks. I would recomend tein springs they are cheap and they are good quality springs

If your tight on cash, debadge the lancer letters.. thats the first thing I did, but I like it better that way, looks less cluttered, but I admit its not for everyone.. just my .02... as far as performance goes, I'd do the intake and and exhaust first... if it helps, what ive done to my car in order was: debadge, engine dressup, injen cold air intake, shift knob/pedals, oil pressure gauge.. the order was based on what i was feeling at the time as well as the size of my wallet lol.. anyways, my .02

I agree that the springs are a nice mod. Help the car corner and also make it look nice by reducing the ugly fender gap. I personally like the look of the Progress Springs on the Lancers around here (unless you plan on putting 100 pounds of stereo equipment in the back, then you'll have a saggy butt )

Wow this thread has been going on for too long

My tint has been done for like 3-4 months already

Have my strut bar, eyelids on.

Bought my system..........debating on building a customized box or just go cheap and have a regular box..........

Rims are just about taken care of

And just deciding on other options

I'd suggest the AEM intake instead of injen. its true, it howls like a beast and at 3000rpm you notice the torque. The rpm's go up smoother too if you go to a muffler shop and for 10$ more or less they can remove the catalytic converter and put in a straight pipe.. (if your in a state that doesnt do exhaust checks all the time)

2. Greddy catback exhaust
3. Eibach springs
4. Ralliart shocks
5. cf evo 7spoiler
6. cf OEM hood
7. 17in rims and tires
