My 02 Rio Red
OK.. Im sorry to do it.. but i have to bash you a little bit..
i do like the car and the direction your going. but it looks like ***...
the taillights need to be burned and melted,
rims.. well you should look into some nice lookin 16s..
and the body.. omg dude.. please paint the car. (a small lip for the trunk lid like a rexspeed spoiler would look nice if painted to match)
not many nicely modded rr lancers out there, im sure you could make yours stand out in a nice way
over all decent start, but clean it up.. looks like a 'pull a part' car from a junk yard almost..
-ps- please dont be mad, im just inciting my opinion on helping you car look as nice as possible.

how's the car coming along?
(lol kidding obviousely)

your cars painted.. has decent rims that look decent.. (i do dislike your taillights. but there ok compared to most any other ones..) i told you i like your car..
Nice, finally I see someone else with a rio red lancer out there modding it. I went with a set of gunmetal 16s and man did it change the way the entire car looks. Keep up the great work!

Took me a while but here are some updates -
Sold my ninja 650r and gave the lancer some TLC instead
Fresh paint and some new wheels! Still riding on stock height. I have springs laying around but would much rather have some coil overs. I just don't feel like spending all that cash on them.
I put the stock tails back on and also picked up some new black housing head lights. The ones from my original post were ones I did myself but they got foggy over the years. I have had her going on 8 years now!

I just realized I abandoned my own thread haha. Glad to see many of you were curious about the progress. Hope you all like the decisions I made over the years! 2008 seems so long ago - I was 17 then.. now I have my own family! geesh
Here is what I am planning for - haven't touched photoshop in years but looks like I still got the touch. I found a new love for sport bikes and never even looked back at the lancer. Since the bike has been sold - I plan on making the lancer pretty again

Also planning for some mud flaps, shorty atenna, and a rear truck lip. Nothing much after that... I would probably trade these 17s for 16s in the near future.
