    Oh yeah. That'd be no problem. You'd probably need to look for one that'll be compatible with your wheel controls.
    Not sure if the Bluetooth (if fitted) is part of your existing stereo. My brother has wheel controls for Bluetooth on his 09 lancer.

    The interior of the lancer could be jazzed up for sure

    Is it just for the look that you want to do it? If it were me I'd look for an iPod interface and maybe a leather interior. The gear shifter ruins the interior for me, maybe change that.
    I think you can get a fake carbon fibre trim kit for these too.

    See what interior goodies the evo gets

    Yes exactly,sounds good,just wasn't sure if the stereo could be changed but a nice bright unit should do the job

    You'll need a different fascia panel that includes the centre vents AFAIK.
    does yours have Bluetooth?
