ur fenders look brutal man.. you could of just waited to install em, rent a fender roller and do it the right way.. good luck getting all those dents/waves out of you fenders. grids are nice but your hack job just ruins everything

The reason i didny care was because im getting my car painted and fixed so its okay! This car is my first car i do anything i want with it ecause i gain expetience from trial and error for my new car. I get mess with everything and find allthe ins and outs of my engine and stuff. Play with body an bodyfiller so i gain knowledge of how to use it an becone more experienced. Thays what i usethis car for. Its like a base for me to just practice.

at the fenders

Rims look awesome. I've got bronze Rota Grids too but they're not nearly as wide as those. What are the specs?

Didn't any hubcaps come with your rims?

would be sick to see it with some 235/45's or 245/45's on those rims. and the fenders molder to cover them up instead of just rollin the fenders
(similiar to what im doing, but im going much larger275/45/18s! for me)

and just like me, this lancer is my learning car, thats why i like trying to do everything myself, and just work around what i know to build my knownledge long term..

rims look good.. never been a fan of 16s.. but it should look 100x better with coilovers and it being lowered much more.
congrats on the good choice of rims and ability to learn, just dont stop.. otherwise u will have a nasty half way built car that needs a paint job..

why stretch?

(i personally dont see the point in that, but then again, everything i have done has been performance minded, hence why im go with 275/45/18s)


OH.. (side notes)... wash the car, and change the taillights out, they look 'smoked' kinda, but really just look dirty, and better camera also! <3

I honestly don't understand the flush movement. Seriously, going this far for some 205s? I ran 215s when I had a Lancer and didn't have to do a lick of fender work. Proper wheel fitment FTW.

Im not going far becase of the tire size lol the tire size is fine the way it is lol. The rims are wider with a smaller tire which stretches the tire outwards. Im doing the stretch because im doing looks for my car.in my opinion i do not want to do performance on this lancer because well its not worth it. Are engines are crap. Unless you duml tons of cash an stuff into it like demon has. Then its sick but i dont want to do that. I just want it too look sick. I washed my car today i juat posted the pics to show the wheela because slatermvp wanted to see them. I took the pics with my iphone. The lights are just really dirty. There actually a dark cherry color. I love them the way they look.

I just don't think it looks good, I prefer the massive tires on massive wheels look over the skinny tires on massive wheels look. Some flush cars look pretty good though.
