depends on who makes the hood and bumper... i've had my bumper and hood on for 2yrs this month.. still looks as good as the day i got it out of the shop minus a crack which was my fault. \\

 

^from a neutral perspective, you kinda sounded like a jerk, no offense. Back on topic though, I think your car will look great with rims and a drop. I suggest black rims with a chrome lip, or (if you think thats overdone) bronze rims. I kinda wish I went with bronze rims myself

 

If you dont want peoples opinoins then why the hell did you post this up? I didnt find his statement rude or "smart *** like" in anyway. He was telling you from his experience that he wishes he was back to stock. "pay to play" was refered to probably the amount of times he has had to refinish the front from bottoming out or whatever.. Are you going to be using your school resources everytime you hit a rock or a steep driveway? It seems like you are already set in what you want to do, so do it and be happy..

 

I say no body kit. The OZ lip is just fine, plus you'll love your car once you get new rims and that drop.

 

Thread cleaned a bit.

Try to get along, children.

 

Getting an opinion is fine, but it's a personal choice. I can't tell you what to do since I'm not you, this isn't asking what color rims to get, what kit to get, etc. this is a far more fundamental question. I told you my opinion, I don't like kits in general.

 

dont make it look fast, make it go fast

 

bahahaha Are you talking about a Lancer?!? ha just kidding.... Any ways I wanted to take this post to tell everyone that I snapped on I'm sorry, I was in a really bad moood last weekend/ish but I thank all of you for your responses Im glad to know that OEM is for the win, In a few months Ill start posting pictures of the paint job I do.. thank you again.

You can easily make a lancer fast using the money needed to get a decent paint job/body kit. Hell knowing what I know now I could make a lancer fast for under 4000$.

 

i voted no

 

yeah dude, I have a body kit, but your car can go either way pretty well. I mean, mine can too,... LOL dude, do what you want, but if you do get a kit, just keep it clean as possible... the more aggressive it looks, the less mature it seems..
