All,
I just bought a 2003 Lancer CG ES Model as a daily driver - pretty basic - but coming from a VW Golf GTI, i still have the mod bug in me. A few things I want to do and hope someone here can point me in the right direction.
1. Wheels
It still has steel wheels on. I'd like to get alloy wheels for it. I dont want to go crazy in terms of size and pretty much just to improve styling a little. What wheels are popular here, what are the names, what brands to steer away from, etc? Is there a thread with cars and different wheels?
2. Rear Sway Bar
From what I know, the car I just bought does not come with RSB. I've been reading up but other than the RRM ones (which are ok in terms of price but i'm sure shipping will be what kills), what are my options?
3. Rear Spoiler
Are there any other lancer models with spoilers that I can use to adapt to mine? Am thinking of a trip to the wreckers to see what's there but perhaps a headstart on which models to look at?
4. Front Grill
What are my options with improving the looks of the front grill? Is it possible to just swap out for something different?
Like I've said, I come from a German made car and know about mods there - where to go, what to look for, what fits, etc... Totally new to the lancer world... I dont intend to spend big bucks on it but would like to make minor adjustments to keep me happy.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
