thats a pretty bad arguement for the GTS, for the 5k more expensive you're talking about you're getting AWD & Turbo. try to make your GTS turbo and AWD and see how much you end up spending..

the way i see it, is if you can fork over 20k for a lancer, you can afford 5k for a much nicer ralliart

after you do some mods, like tint - exhaust - springs, take some nice pix with a different camera and do the car some justice, it looks Nicee

looks nice man

like others asked, did you even consider the RA version? I think my evo will be paid off by the time the manual version hits the streets. Then i will get one!


Paint that gas cap to match.. And if you cant, do it flat black or something

What happens if he doesn't want AWD or a turbo? that would be a good arguement. If he plans on turbocharging then..iwould say it would be a waste, but if he isn't...then i agree with his decision

thanks again for actually reading my posts guys

i don't need turbo or AWD

and the gas cap has been swapped for the color matched one.

yes i know those pictures don't do it justice, it was taken with my camera phone, i have to find my real camera. even though that ones not much better haha.

tint will be coming soon, are people still having problems with the tint getting scratched up from the rubber window seals?

about the tints.... ask the dealership. they are aware of the scratching in the 08 model so they may have changed it in the 09

i'm contemplating a drop but i am content with the rims at the moment. i also kinda like the mitsubishi emblem on the back, the rest are gone though. i feel like the trunk will be too plain and boring if i take the emblem off.
