Did you see the stuff by Shadows (X Factor Design) one of our club sponsors, in the sponsors' section?
Or are you after something that looks different to stock?

From Sydney
Talon
Of course they can only give you a front, as they only do sedans atm...

I have seen a few but you would have to get them sea-freighted from overseas.... would take months

yeah i dont really like that idea... just for the fact that i dont know the quality. would rather wait and get something decent that i can go to a store and ask them about it.
ill just have to wait and leave my lancer stock for a while till someone makes something decent for the sport back. thanks for your help

Don't go past some of the stuff from Singapore.. mine was a bog-stock ES and the front and sides are from Singapore (X Factor). The rear on mine is from Talon....
You could just do the front and sides until then...

yeah i could but it would just look really weird the only thing i dont like about the sportsback is the rear bumper. wish i went for sedan but either way both awesom cars just can do more with the sedan maybe ill try and go for a vrx or a ralliart bodykit through my local dealer... my old man knows them so i can get a bit of a discount

Good start, there are loads of quick-fix mods to make the front of your Lancer pop.. like the matt black vinyl black-out of the nose, chrome trim molding around the nose, both of these are only $20 each...
The front pods and side skirts (fully colour matched) from Singapore are very very cheap by comparison... check it out in our Sponsors' area...

the matt black vinyl black-out of the nose. really interested in that to where can i get te stuff to do that and how is it done? i was thinking about the chrome trim around the nose but my car is silver so it would just look weird if i had blue black or red etc... would be good.
ill wait for the body kit. theres a black one going around town guy is the same age as me and i wanna make mine stand out more lol i already bought a ralliart badge that goes onto my grill i just got to put it on

Tryg mate, How much did you rear bar cost ya?

$450 painted, easy install with only 4 screws. Use Sikaflex to stop any vibes.
The vinyl mod would be the simplest and cheapest there is: Don't buy the Mitsu original which costs heaps and doesn't cover properly...buy $10 worth of 7-year matt black (or your choice, some have mirror chrome) vinyl and apply carefully. There are how-to's in our HOW-TO DIY area.
Another easy one is the chrome trim... this stuff costs $20 a roll from Supercheap. I have it on the front and back of my car.
on the front
