    Bought my car in August 2009, completely stock,

    I'm glad you have the hood that has the big, single opening...not the two-hole style...Looks good. I kinda wish I still had my stock wheels for when I do trackdays....BTW, where did you find the Cf plate surround? I've been looking for one off-and-on for a few years now.

    They look really good for stock rims. I'd rock em if I had a 5 lug.

    nicely done, i like.
    it seems like mitsu always uses nice rims, you just have to paint them haha. i like these, i like my ozs, the gts rims look nice painted, and the evos look sick too. but anyways, keep up the good work

    The grill pieces look nice on your ride. I have the same ride, just in black. How does the Magnaflow sound, cruise vs on it ??

    Looks really good. I like how the evo8/9 hoods fit right onto the 04-06 lancer without a conversion. Can you post a pic of a complete side view so I can see the actual drop on the car. Im still in debate mode over 16's or 17's. I'm very much leaning towards OEM or 16's. I'm looking to lower my ride overall and not just close the gap you see in the wheels. Looking at L2Q's car it looks as if the overall car is still at the same height and with a closed wheel gap. I'm looking to do both.

    thanks man
    the evo hood doesn't actually fit directly onto the 04-06 lancer, my hood is an evo 8 'style' hood made by accolade
    i'll get you a photo as soon as i can

    Teins look good, man. I need to drop mine asap......I've had a set of springs for almost a year now, just haven't taken the time to throw them on there. I know the topnut on the front struts is a bitch......
