    I love drag wheels. Most of them look badass. Like the ones you have now. Just lower the car now with some coil-overs.

    Tein super street or megan. Basic only allow you to adjust hieght. Not the dampning force(stiffness/softness).

    yea i'm only going with the basic because this car is more show than performance, i mean it's an automatic 2.0 4cyl with great mpg's compared to my next project once i get the money ('00/'01 svt cobra)

    so i was bored today and since i decided to procrastinate on my homework once again i went ahead, jumped in the car with my girl and we went shopping for some pain :) painted the front grille black and got some paint from home depot (it's a yellow-ish orange kinda) to put on my calipers. Seeing as how it's regualr paint and not usually for high temps i'll test it out and let you guys know if it help or not. in the mean time i'll post pictures of the grille. now i know the pictures aren't too clear but i'll take some pics in the morning and i'll post some more. until then here's what i got

    yea with the megans you can actually slam you car to the ground. Well with my 03 lancer I could if I had smaller tires. If you look in my P.R. you can see how low I sit now. Looking at the coilovers I still have about another 2 inches or so I could drop it. But I dont want to cuz as you know the roads here in VA are crap and a single bump would cause major rub.

    ebay: I typed in this " 08 lancer led tail lights " and got six pages of stuff. Goto page 3. Thats where the actual tail lights start.

    http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A15%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=08%20lancer%20led%20tail%20lights&_dmpt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&_sc=1&_sop=15&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=3

    All the evo lancer and ralliart tails fit each other for 2008-2010. I dont know about the 2011.

    I've been looking into getting a motorcycle too for the past year or so. Trying to get some other things in my life straightened out first, then maybe get a little more serious about it after. I've always wanted a bike.

    Just saying don't get a 250 get something a little more substantial I had a gs500 for my first bike and after a few months I wish I would have gotten something bigger. I sold it and I wish I had the money for a new bike! I'm looking at a gsxr 750!

    well the reason why i'm getting a ninja 250R is because i'm tiny...honestly i'm like 5 feet and maybe an inch...and a half to be nice lol, and i'm extremelly skinny, so since i've never ridden a bike before i figured i'd get something cheap, yet good looking, and learn how to ride, once i have more experience i'll def upgrade, for now i'm just looking to learn on a 250r so it doesn't hurt my pocket, because one thing is for sure, if i do get a bike...i hate saying this but i know i'm going to drop it, so i need practice lol.
    as far as my car, i just started painting my engine bay, i'll post some pictures once i get the chance, and fyi i did it while at work (auto zone) which meant...free paint wohoo!!!

    This exactly sums it up. I would look into getting a small bike maybe a 500, but preferably a 250 or something to learn on first and get used to riding. I've rode a few smaller bikes a few times, but never for a long period of time.
