Need opinions

I don't know if this is in the correct forum category
In about 2-3 weeks I'm picking up my brand new 2012 lancer actIv, ( same as an ES) but with extras such as the raliar front bumper.
I'm getting it in white and want to know what modifications I should do to the car to give it *woo-hoo*. Appeal haha
Won't be doing any performance mods As I will be on my P's.

Thanks

1. performance mods should be done regardless of your licence type, just no turbos etc for you

2. rims, lowering springs or coilovers are the best place to start as that is what sets a car off most

The easiest and most common mod for looks was to blackout the front bumper in the middle of CJs, but since you have the RA-style bumper that's not applicable. Really the main things you can do are lower it (I strongly recommend you go the route of BC Racing BR series coilovers and not skimping out on King Springs)and get some new rims and if you wanted to spend bigger money then the RA bumper (with a new rear muffler) is always there for the taking. Depending on what state you are in you could consider get the ECU re-tuned to unleash the motor's full potential.

You can also get sharkfin antennas for the CJ lancer

Evo X spoiler is another option if you want a big wing on the back.

Oh and actually grab a set of mud flaps from Mitsubishi for the front of your car (just make sure they are the ones designed to fit with the side skirts) as this will save your side skirts and lower sections of the doors from having their paint chipped away. My car had done around 50,000km before they were finally made available and in that time I have a load of damage to the paint from rocks and what not on the freeway (the paint is super thin and fragile on these cars).
