2008 Lancer ES to lancer GT look
I bought the lancer as a "flip car" and for the fun of redoing one lol. I was browsing craiglist and some guy was selling one with 128k miles for 3500. I drove an hour away and found it had minor dings and dents and a broken bumper cover. I ended up talking the guy down to 2500.
If it were manual, I would make this the daily and get rid of the daily galant.
When I first got it (my little brother drove it home):

Of course the ES isn't appealing to me and looks like the base model. I decided I wanted to make it look more like the GTS, then found a sweet deal on a GT kit (ralliart looking bumper, side skirts, projector fogs w/ housings, chrome grille). This way I traded off the cost of the GTS lip spoilers, fogs, replacement bumper.

I figure If I'm going to make it look like a new GT, I might as well get rid of off the dents:

I should have new paint/clear on it this weekend.
