Looks great. You have to love that new car feeling and smell.

I would black out the front grill. They look good on any car but best on the white IMO. Chrome surround around the grill is personal choice but with your wheels I would do that as well.

I would also fit lowered springs. Kings are good and cheap as well. I fitted mine and i am happy with the look and the way it rides.

There have been so many different reviews about the DVD unit u have...whats ur opinion?
Any good? How hard is it to hook up & do bluetooth and steering wheel controls work on it?

Had to re-check you weren't from WA... Saw a white lancer with wheels quite like that the other day.
White is such a mod-friendly colour, everything stands out on it. I'd call it a blank canvas but even modless they're sexy. :P

I'd love to import an orange lancer from america :P

Deano1964 - the unit os OK for the price.
Does everything I want. I'm having troubles with the Audio control on the steering wheel. It says it can be programmed but unfortunately the translation from the chinese into English isn't that flash.
One of the other members thinks he's solved the problem - just waiting to hear back from him.
Bluetooth on stering wheel - no good. Apparently you can do it with a SWI PAC on Pioneer systems. Nevertheless, the bluetooth system in the unit works well. Had no trouble pairing with my phone and sound quality is quite good.
It is all plug and play.
Simply remove the old unit and plug the existing plugs into the new harness. took me 45 min to pull dash out, install and put dash back.
Had the DIY video (from the DIY section) playing on my comuter while doing it.
