It depends on far you are willing to go. If you want to do it right and completely repaint the car (ie. engine bay and all) then go for it, maybe a nice evo 7 blue or something like that. This will cost a lot of money though.

 

yeh i was thinking about the money thing. i was serious about painting it blue before. But i didn't realize how good it would look with those wheels. I think im probably gonna leave it silver

 

Wow David...just wow!! I was with you on painting it blue, but I say leave it silver and focus your money on other things (like the previously mentioned coilovers). That looks amazing, inside and out.

 

Yeah leave it silver, and btw? how did u do that with your front grille? send me a pm. Thx,

Did you use that How-To Of mesh grill install??

Pm, because i dont think i will check this again

 

Nice, looks clean and intentional.

 

hey this guy painted his evo the "blue by you" looking type color and he got an option that had sparkles? or something like that mixed in the paint, ppl had their own opinions but i thought it was nice, search for it

 

looking good. you can get a sick suspension setup with the cost of a repaint.

 

thanks
thats the plan im gonna go for

 

Black looks nice.

But it's also played out a bit, I guess.

Stick with the silver.

 

Looks nice, May I suggest Eibach "pro kit" and some good struts to get rid of the gap. If it doenst go with your plan for the car ignore it but I think it would really improve the stance and appearance.

 

^how much does it cost? got a link?

 

Just go for a coilover kit instead, David. The last I heard, there are no good strut inserts available for our Lancers. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong...my struts are screaming at me right now!

 

yeh i've read about that. no one makes struts. I will probably get coilovers. they are like $900, it would have cost me more than that for the paint job

 

For the price of lowering spring and 4 struts, you might as well add the extra $100 and get the Tien Basic Coilovers. I would recommend the Super Street series myself, they are a little more expensive, but alot more adjustable.

 

You could also get Ksport, NEX or Megan coilovers for the price of the Teins. IMO the Megan and Ksport coilovers are better than the Teins since you get pillowball upper mounts, front camber plates and full ride height and dampening adjustability.
