my new RA

I dont know if this is the right forum area for this post, so mods feel free to move it if necessary

I got this 2004 lancer ralli art at carmax a week ago with only 170 miles on it. The car was a dealer show car so it spent its first year of life in a climate controlled building. So far I am loving the car, and the factor stereo. Its not all that fast, but its still a lot faster than the jacked up dodge ram i am giving up for the car.

Future mods (hopefully) include:

18" chrome 10 spoke rims
lowering kit - cant decide on springs or coil-overs
window tint - not sure what %
Head Unit w/ flip out moniter
CAI
Muffler
and possibly change out the front seats.

Here is a pic of the car

$13,900 +TTL= if i remember correctly it was like 14.8-14.9 out the door. I did not have to buy extended warrenty since it still had 36000 miles left on the original warranty which i was pleased about.

Nice car bro. I wish I could have found a manual around here but I still love it and I'm sure you will to.

ya, i would have preferred red, black, or silver, but for the deal i got I was not gonna complain. Plus, with it being white it is a little more rare since most people get red, black, yellow or silver.

Damn, that's like $4,000 less then I paid for mine!!!

Pleeeez don't put 18" chromes on it!!! That will really bog you down and just defeat the purpose of the CAI / exhaust setup.

Congrats!

Check out my sig if you're wondering how dark your tint should be. Mine's the 5% limo tint.

Yeah man. Please don't do crome. Do something like gunmetal with polished lip or something, but not crome. Also go with 17'' rims something in the 17lbs area that will help you when you do CAI and exhaust.

Actually white is the best for NOT showing dirt. As weird as that may sound. Black is hard as hell trying to keep clean

Oh and yeah, DEFINITELY do not put chrome rims on it. Chrome is for escalades, navigators, mercedes etc. And if you MUST get 18"s, just dont get them in chrome.
