The stock exhaust is shite!! And what about wheel spacers? You need them to really show off the pretty colour..
Spacer I will skip. I would rather have the wheels inside where they don't fling crap down the sides of the car at highway speeds. Fine if you spend most of your tie city driving at lower speed but the damage that can be done from the highway just is not worth it. Don't have the pics anymore unfortunately but when I ran wider tires on my one Lancer to whole section behind the wheels was blasted to bare metal.

I understand, you don't flush, you need to do what BMW and Porsche are very good at doing, getting a wheel and well interface just right.. I think 10mm will make a difference and it won't pepper the side of your car.. anyways, if you keep mowing your neighbour's lawn you may earn a Hakone respray in a few years time..

There are valid reasons why the Canadian ones come with the mudflaps as stock.

Of course! Once a week around the block for about 30-40 minutes. Trying to stay away from Service Ontario for the time being, but she is insured.
New brake pads + rotors, as well as shift springs and a new billetworkz knob are in the works.
The current struts are most likely going to be swapped for some RCE Comp SuperStreets or GReddy x KW coils this summer if you're interested in the lowering springs, trade ya for the fog lights.

I think I am going to go with adjustable coil overs this time around but the fog lights are already yours. Just have to wait for the park to let me in to grab them.
Glad it isn't just sitting.

Walked into the park and got the fogs! Let me know when and where you want me to drop them off.

just curious, how ridiculous would the mudflaps look alongside sideskirts or would they even fit...

They don't fit without altering. They would really look sort of silly I think.
