Awesome man, I'm feeling ya on the silver/blue theme. Classy

My advice for ya, drop it, that is by far the best thing you can do
for your looks at this point. But it's all about your preference, ralliart
grilles look good... black headlights look good... and Texas plates look
the best. What part of Texas are you in?

Ya ive been considering just saving and getting coilovers. It really seems like the way
to go if your going to do it right. I dont want to just get the look but as a result blow
out all the other parts of my suspension. East Texas about 30 mins from Louisiana.

I cant wait to get the Grill and Wing on there. Not sure what i want
to do about the hole the center post will leave atm though. Cant decide
if i want to try just plugging it and paint the plug, or getting the evo
wing that has the cent post.

To be honest I have done zero to no research on coilovers, because I need some but they are expensive as hell. I need to look them up though, because I think my lancer may be up and running again, keep the fingers crossed! When I find out I'll let you know. Teins would be number one on my list but they are very expensive

I already looked, and I was welcomed by $1k prices. Sorry but I'm not paying 1/4 of my cars worth to lower it. Which is one of the reasons I never lowered my car, unless you are going to race (which I wouldn't recommend in these cars) I would go with springs, or just not dropping it at all. like I said I see no point in spending a down payment to lower my car, lol.
