What kind?
Mine.
You took a beautiful car and slapped some scrap metal on the back. That's just wrong, and I thaught I'd share my opinion.

well I'll add to the wing bashing. Wing not so much. No bueno. The rest of the car looks cool though. Need bigger, more pictures. Also detailed shots of your mods would be nice. Nice job (except for the wing).

Not a problem. I would have been pissed too

That is not entirely true.
If the canards and wings were placed at a proper position, it could actually help the overall handling. Properly aligning the parts could level the downforce. But I'd assume about 5 people on this board would have the budget to go through such a process.

i got an idea! i'll take the wing off under one condition....and that condition is if people aprove me mounting dual mufflers (Apexi N1's of coarse) and i promise to make it look good and mount properly like smaller piping because of backpress. and whatnot... this will differenciate the weight like some people were saying i should do, i bet it would sound VERY NICE (Borat) hahah what do u think??

one word.. lambodoors!

i better add something else so that robert guy doesn't suspend my account again. I think I'd rather see the dual exhausts than that wing. the car looks nice tho as a whole.

It would most likely sound really good, but if your goal is to make power I'd stay away from dual exhaust.

As I mentioned before, dual exhaust will weight twice as much as a single canister system. Weight has always been the enemy of power enthusiasts.

Will it add an outrageous amount of weight? No. So it might not be that much of a concern.

Would you notice the difference in the throttle? Most likely not, unless you're a track junky and have test driven both setup.

Will it affect the handling? Most defenetly. You'll have a few more pounds hanging off your rear bumper. I can put a 5 liter jug of water in my trunk and feel the difference.

Would it be worth the money? That depends on your goal. If you goal is show & shine, then it's probably worth it. Properly done it would likely look pimp . But if your goal is performance, then stay away from dual exhaust.

Edit: You'd have to mold a second cut out in your bumper to make it look decent.

the front looks great, i dont like the 2008 rear at all so my view would be bias on that part. the rims looks kind of small... idk the 08 lancer look much bigger than the ones before it, 18s dont go as well.

I dont like it. The wing makes it look bad. It seems like you didnt take the time to think about the car as a whole before putting in a bunch things that dont go well together.

Sorry to add to the bashing, but im just not feeling the wing. The new Lancers IMO have a luxurious look to them and that wing just takes away from the car. Other than that the car is BALLIN!!!!!
