eh...ditch the emblems (evo 7)...ralliart is somewhat ok since they ARE our racing company...
A. It's not an Evo 7
B. It's not a ralliart edition anything.
Just get a giant graphic on the side of your car of a kid pissing on a mitsubishi symbol. now that would be really original. and confuse the crap out of people.

GOOD WORK THOUGH.
And I wasn't saying anything about the two-tone... I was just wondering if you were going to keep it that way. Not my style but it's not about me.

Ralliart isn't just an edition of the car. Ralliart is a company that makes parts for Mitsubishi. I have a Ralliart Grill, should I take off the badge on that?
But as far as i can tell he doesnt own any piece of ralliart equipment. and the whole thing with the ralliart grill is that it is only on the grill which is in fact ralliart parts. its not like you got urself a ralliart badge on the back or a sticker saying powered by ralliart. Its basically like a toyota corolla puttin a bunch of TRD stickers on his car.

i give two thumbs up when painted
Your *&@%ing me right? Wow, you might as well put a GTR emblem on that thing. Two-toned with an Evo VII body kit on a lancer es (or whatever it is) with Evolution VII badging, Ralliart badging and a tip....wow that's amazing. Sorry man, looks like you dropped a good amount of money...but that's just bad. IMO, and it probably doesn't mean much, paint the kit the same color as the rest of the car and take the Evolution and Ralliart badges off...your not even close to either one of them. Again, this is just me stating my opinion of it and I'm not just trying to flame on your car.

The alternative was spending something like 300 bucks on the real deal and they don't even look all that great. I put them on to help me out during the winter... I was afraid of salt and grime getting on the car. They work great but are comming off as soon as the weather turns better but they are going back on once next winter comes.
As for the whole putting stickers on your car that don't apply... I totally agree 110%. I can't stand seeing a Civic with huge Vtec stickers on it... or worse yet a Lancer with a Vtec sticker, which I was actually whitness to.

I'll give you points for originality, if this is a show car, its a great start. With that said however, I agree that the two tone paint job is a little much and is not really fitting of a lancer, maybe an old school shelby or impala, but not an import. Its nice to hear your getting a magnaflow system, as that tip is way to big, looks like your over compensating, at least thats what I would say if I saw that in a parking lot. Take off the badges, if you don't have an evo, don't wear the badges, it'd be like getting a fake superbowl ring, or walking around town wearing a fake police uniform. The rims are really nice, nice choice for the car.
