It would look dope, I'm just curious, because I know CF is not nearly as flexible as ABS, how would you bend it to fit our bumpers? I was planning on making a CF lip of my own at one point, but then realized the amount of damage I would receive driving on Oregon's roads.Quote:

A little update.
I'm back to hunting for a trans. Too bad I missed out on the 375 deal, but I had to help my parents send money to the P.I. for my grandmas funeral. I'll get my money back once the wire transfer that fell through is reverted back to my dads account. But once again I will start making phone calls and looking for the right trans to get my swap done by march.
I was looking at some pics, and I saw Denvers clutch line set-up and thought it was pretty baller. But we'll see, Denver is sending me an OEM line so we'll see. I also found quite the deal on clutch pedal, master, slave, shifter, cabels, etc. for 325 on club3G but still gotta see if the guy still has it.
Well, figured I'd fill you guys in but its been pretty hard on everyone around here this past week and the car was pretty much the last thing on my mind.
Also, I'm pretty sure the auto just lost overdrive cuz its fucking loud when cruising on the highway and the trans is hesitating to shift once passed 65 mph on the higway. and the check engine light is on... woot.
Nice project man! Hope you finish it soon!
ok, so still trying to hunt a trans dwon, this shit is getting old. lol. I'm taking my time just because I'm looking for a deal. if anybody knows of a trans being sold for less than 400 bucks please let me know!

the brake pedal took me about 10 minutes once I got the seat out of the way, and the clutch pedal took about an hour. Woulda taken less than 30 mins if I could find the right bolts for the master.

Did someone look into the 98-02 Mirage and 03 Lancer transmissions. They have the same engine orientation, but just smaller engines 1.8L and 2.0L. Some Lancers are O.Z edition and they came with the 2.4L, I think
