Isn't it obvious that an aftermarket turbo will void the car's warranty?

As for the looks, i've already quoted for front and side skirt (carbon fiber) and it costs 28 to 35k.

Just get ones made of fiberglass and painted to match the body color. Much cheaper and functions the same.

If you aren't happy yet, have them wrapped in carbonfiber-look vinyl sticker. No one would know the difference.

The 2009 units had a body colored horizonal "bar".

The 2010 models have it converted to EVO-X style grill/bumper style.

does this include the gls/glx models?

I inquired the 2010 Lancer EX series just this Saturday at the nearby Mitsu dealership.

They said all Lancer EX 2.0L models (GLS, GLX, GT, GTA) will have the new grill/bumper styling.

Just wait till the 100,000KM or 3yrs and you can do anything on your car's engine.

Kaya nga... save up the starbucks money for 3 years, drive it stock muna like a good boy, then when the warranty lapses put the tarbo in it and watch the rest inhale your exhaust. Why spend for rice when you can spend on ULAM, so to speak? The EX looks nice, or rather mean enough without those glorified mudguards around the car. If you NEED to spend on aesthetics, maybe you could spend it instead on detailing the car.

Go fast > look fast.

I'm sorry, but whenever I hear the word sideskirts and Lancer I'm reminded of this Lancer itlog with the ubiquitous "EVO III" skirts, spraycan paintjob, "TRD" and SPOON" stickers on it and a fartcan exhaust that sounds like a goddamn riot when revved but moves likes it's stuck on first gear. It's often parked in front of our office with the driver waiting for his girlfriend, with "basag" separates blaring Kanye West music, and I shudder to think of a Lancer EX ending up with the same fate as that poor CB.

The sideskirts and chin spoilers I was referring to were the stock type found on the GT and GT-A models. It has been a popular mod for those who bought the GLX and GLS models because they couldn't afford the GT/GTA models.

If you really want to go fast and not just look fast... there are a lot of quicker cars you can get for the money. The Focus TDCi and Civic 2.0, in particular, have much more potential than the Lancer.

Sir GH, san po makakakuha nito? yung carbon fiber-look vinyl sticker?

Thanks guys andami na replies. Ginaganahan na ko.

Finollow up ko na kanina sa Mitsubishi Alabang, update ko din kayo. Can't wait for it... I'll give it a good 1-2 months before I upgrade the wheels. (18 as Niky said!)

Then after it will work on the body kit... Wheels muna bago body kit, tingin niyo? Tapos chaka na yung tarbo/turbo. Haha.

I'm thinkin of getting an exhaust too. Papano ba systema dun? Bili lang ako ng upgrade ng exhaust.. Sorry... Noob talaga. Drove a stock Altis for 3 years then stopped driving. Ngayon lang ako ulit mag stastart at mahihilig sa cars.
