just a suggestion, you probably need some more mods done before you start a "build" thread. right now all i see really is a stock lancer with a SRI. a build thread usually consists of stock pics, and then a noticeable amount of differences for each step. you went kind of backwards.

Your cars starting to look good. I def think you need to debadge rear and plastidip rear Mitsubishi logo & also since you did the sidemarkers you need to black out the third brake light and bumper reflectors.

Yah looking to debadge the rear when it warms up, also ordering some tint covers for the brake lights and fog lights. Also selling some stock parts and buying some cont dws's in 225/45/18's and some xxr 527's or 522's not sure yet....

Heres some pics of how she sits currently

Well getting some Cont dws's in 225/45/18's for the fronts and then getting the last two for the rear in about 2 months or so. Their very limited in my area so I buy them when the back order is gone. Also getting some xxr-522's in chrome black before the winter.

Pics will be up later today of the changes done to the car and going badgeless soon with some stickerbombed interior.

The black underside of the spoiler is awesome. What'd you use to paint it?

Ordered some Rally Armor UR mud flaps "black with gray lettering". Should be here tomorrow or monday at the latest and I ll get pics up as soon as I can. Also plasti dipping all 4 of my wheels black since I m installing the mud flaps anyways and I have to remove the rear wheels to install them. Also buying a dremel soon to drill away and make a "ram air" better cold air system in my grille. And lastly, debadging in 2-3 weeks. Lots of stuff going on this month with the lancer
