Hi guys,
Just thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Vivek, and I drive a blue 2012 ES Lancer. I found out about this site from Ebay member 'tyrone123cars', who sold me his discarded OEM rear spoiler a few weeks ago. When I went to pick it up from his place, I was blown away by his car.
He'd taken a pretty much stock Lancer and transformed it into an astonishing looking and sounding vehicle. We chatted for a bit and he showed me the various upgrades he'd done, and I couldn't get his car out of my head. I found myself in the middle of lectures surfing websites looking at body kits and wheels, and as of a few days ago - I've decided I'm going to mod my car as well.
So far I've got the spoiler mentioned above, 18 inch wheels, blacked out front grille, and I've ordered the Talon rear diffuser and a set of fog lights. I'm looking at various side skirts to install, as well as a sound system with a bitchin' subwoofer, and navigation system. For the front, I'm leaning towards a set of VRX air dams and the Scorpion Motorsport V-lip. I had so much fun putting on the matte black vinyl at the front, I think I might install gloss black on the roof, as well as get my local window tinter to put on darkest street legal tint on all the glass. After all this, I'm thinking of a dual muffler exhaust system, probably Magnaflow (Tyrone's sounded great), and I'll have to inquire about those awesome blue tips I occasionally see; I think they'd complement a blue car well.
Here's my car, bog standard:
Anyway, that's my story so far, I'll put up a build thread when all the work's done, and I'd love to hear how people with any of the above parts are finding their mods, and if you guys have any alternate recommendations.
Thanks,
Vivek
