Interior LEDs are as bad as Neons!

Set a goal for what you want from a car, figure out whether your current car can meet this goal to a satisfactory extent.

If not, don't spend money on this car, save for one that is capable of delivering what you want.

If it were mine I'd just go lower on stock aero.

NO ALTEZZA'S!
Edit: And ditch the Zupp's registration plate surrounds.

In the footwell I reckon they go alright. Just as long as they're only on when the doors are open and they aren't some stupid colour like blue.

That 2 tone sounds like it'll look like unfinished crap, no offense. Especially when it's the aftermarket side skirts you'll put on, and the spoiler and the mirrors. 1980's styling is for the 1980's cars.

Good to see you are thinking about extractors with the full exhaust. That will make it sound better than a catback and cannon.

Then just drop it low, but not like impractically low. I had low's on my Lancer and it was ok...

VTR

Nice four wheel drive daily.

Draven

Probably are blue and operate off a toggle switch...

should get a 3 inch lift, good car for a P plater man

nice p plater buddy.lower it,debadge,remove mud flaps,remove number plate surroundings and just keep it plain and simple.

I think the Lancer flaming starts when people see that the OP thinks his / her Lancer is an Evo (or at least tries to make it look / sound like one). Tidy first car, I would spend money on minor mods like lowering it, ditching the rear wing, etc. It will never be a powerhouse, so PLEASE don't try and make it one.

I wouldn't spend money on it at all. It is a nice and tidy first car. If you love it, look after it and don't waste money on it, then when you get off p's buy a real evo which you will REALLY love.

Thanks guys.

1) Green LED's, on a switch. </3

2) Not too sure on debadging? I like the badges, tbh.

3) Will get rid of ZUPPS, mud guards.

4) I'm not looking to improve performance, but rather sound and aesthetics. Can't get blood from a stone, right?

/edit/ oh yeah @ blayze, I'm keen on a 35% tint as well.

Draven

whats next underbody LEDs?

inb4jdm

do nothing to it. leave your girly standard car, standard. you will be wasting your money on things that make you look wanky.

tezlin

You don't approve? It actually helps if you're looking for shit on the floor.



To the contrary, nearly any car can look great with the correct choice in mods. I'm looking for advice so that I don't end up with a car that looks "wanky".

Nocturnal

1) Don't molest your wiring to fit the LED's.

2) I wouldn't advise debadging.

3) Leave the mud guards.

4) Don't butcher your interior for sound gear or your exterior for aesthetics.

Why? It'll all hurt resale, which is what you need to think about if you ever want to get any money back from this car to buy something once you're off your P's.

Edit: You've got a mint little stocker, don't fuck it up.

tuckinVY

i have to say, i hate those wheels and u definitely need to go bigger, stay black but go bigger and if not please lower it more its too high and doesnt look good at all,
but yeh..

Honestly waste your money on it. Why not it's yours? At the end of the day no one will be impressed by a lancer so don't bother trying just get the pointless modding out of your system. Then when you get somthing else you will have a better understanding on how to mod without wasting money and to get the desired results

No one will be impressed by a lancer?? you havent seen Khumber's

tezlin

Thanks for the advice guys. Aside from the spoiler, nothing has been touched in terms of altering the car physically, and I don't plan to. I am keen on being able to return it to stock (the sub isn't screwed down, it sits solid on its own). All five stocko's with wheel trims are in the shed, when I want to stick them back on.

I never thrash the car, and never drive hard on a cold engine. As some of you have said, this is a good daily to get me around until I can afford a more performance-based car.

vectorazz

Slam it on its arse,paint mudflaps white and drive

Jerryme

Just keep it simple.
Wonder what angel eyes look like on a CH

Dear P-Platers, study why this thread has not turned to shit.
