Originally, my Lancer only had a regular hood lock without a switch. When the hood is open and you turn on the ignition, a warning message appears on the dashboard: "Close hood". Additionally, the built-in alarm system uses this sensor.

Since I was finally planning to install the three switches after years, and I had to open the entire center console for the wiring, I went ahead and replaced the whole center console. As this is just a project overview, I'll just list the things I did: Starting, of course, with the US0000 emblem. Gear knob with red details Evo X handbrake lever with red details Carbon fiber switch plate + 3 (4) switches with functions Red decorative stitching Foot cushion OEM phone holder Red decorative stitching on the armrest Climate control module with chrome

The downside of the diesel engine is its poor sound. This is somewhat compensated for by the Maxhaust sound system. The speakers for the interior are mounted in the trunk. While I was at it, I also soundproofed the trunk. A nice feature if you want to drive more actively.

I myself registered with the MUT3 4 KOS key with panic alarm. The panic alarm button is actually only available in America and was never offered in Europe. However, it's a feature you might need someday. I also have a Smart Key, which allows you to unlock the car simply by approaching it, and also via the app. But it's more of a nice-to-have feature. I find the original KOS keys more attractive, more practical, and not so bulky.

I've converted quite a few lights to LEDs because they look brighter and more modern, and so far they've held up well. I have replaced the following: Side indicator Cornering lights - simply awesome in the middle of the dark fog lights License plate light Parking lights front and rear Complete interior in blue taillights

In 2013, I opted for the rear spoiler corners because I really liked their shape. Then, in 2018, I switched to this rear bumper because it essentially extends the spoiler corners. This integrates beautifully into the shape of the Lancer.

FOX sports exhaust systems are from one of the best-known manufacturers of exhausts for the Lancer. With its large stainless steel tailpipes, it perfectly complements the Lancer's sporty rear end.

This was a project that spanned several years. I used ABM Gold soundproofing material. It's easy to work with. I soundproofed the doors, the roof, the parcel shelf, the trunk, and under the rear seats. It's definitely quieter in the car, and the Rockford Fosgate sound system benefits from it as well.

I've had the large rear spoiler since I bought the Lancer. I simply love it; it blends seamlessly into the Lancer's dining room. I covered the recesses myself with carbon fiber film, the third generation of which is now available. A dragon simply had to be included. I've had the OEM spoiler extension from the Evo 10 since 2016.

The defining feature of every Evo 10 is the large rear spoiler, so it simply had to be in my collection. However, it's not currently mounted. This one is also equipped with the OEM spoiler extension, which makes the rear spoiler even more aggressive.

Originally, I had the aluminum handbrake lever from the accessories catalog since 2011. Now I have the OEM accessory handbrake lever from the EVO 10. I've also added some red details to it.

I've had the sport pedals from the accessories booklet since 2010. They've been replaced regularly ever since. Since 2025 I have installed the sport pedals from the Evo 10; these look even sportier and are the perfect choice in combination with the Evo steering wheel.
