Lancer getting Pimped - Project "Diablo"

redeye · 10th December 2007, 21:05

ok lets say i will stick on to the 15 inch .. but i want to change the rim (Rs5 lenso) to something else which will make it look big ... which rims should i go for...

Hey! since you are installing the large lamps in front, i don't think there will be too much of a problem with headlight quality. I'd suggest u to go for some angel eyes/projectors, and if at any time u feel the light is not enough, Switch on the hellas! lol!

redeye · 12th December 2007, 22:02

@jayd-ya i could do that.. but still i heard the after market lights are not worth the money ...

@akshay1234- ok but what if 1 led goes out... then won't it be a hard time finding the bulb and replacing ... i really don't know i'm asking..

Just got a call from one of my friend he told projection lights with indicator are available for the lancer .. i'm going to check it out tomorrow will post pic of it..

and for the alloy will the lenso shu look better ....

Did you get to see it? Would be great if you got some pics. And how much would they cost?

redeye · 13th December 2007, 07:35

haven't seen it yet... will be going there today.. will post pics of it ... if they are projections with indicator .. if they are angel eyes waste of time...

Take a good hard look & ensure they are "PROJECTOR LAMPS" & not just 2 regular reflectors. Take a look in my Gallery, the ones on my car were NOT projectors but plain & simple twin beam lights.

If you are really finding "projectors" - I would like to see pictures & know the price. Thanks

Ricky is right, i doubt its the same one. Projector lights were never made for the lancer, theyre all circular beams with angel rings.

redeye · 13th December 2007, 20:55

yup you guys are right ... that was same thing i told him , went there today.. i was disappointed to see they were angel eyes... sorry guys.. he said he will try again... what a waste of time...

redeye · 13th December 2007, 21:21

guys what should i do if i want my tires to come out a little .. since the bodykit is wide i feel the wheels are inside

What can i do to make them come out a little ..

faithless_1984 · 13th December 2007, 21:34

I guess you can install `spacers` which make the rims come out of the arches ,saw a wide body lancer getting fixed with such spacers at Autopsyche`s workshop....PM him for more details.

redeye · 13th December 2007, 22:21

will it affect my performance of the car...

faithless_1984 · 13th December 2007, 22:32

Am not sure about the performance but Handling..Yes.
