body kit on my sportback?

ajpavlovich · Oct 4, 2008, 08:40 PM

so i have a 04 sportback RA n wanted 2 go with a new body kit or new lip kit im still undecided. i was wondering tho if a regular kit that would fit the RA would fit my sportback? i kno that the front is the same but idk about the side skirts or rear bumper?

imo, you should just get a front lip from RRM or something. itd look sick. or maybe the evo 9 front bumper. i dont think the rest of the car is the same. sideskirts mayyyybe.

Front & Sides will fit, rear will not, though we did have a customer from Italy custom mod a rear bumper to fit.

damn i was hopeing the rear would fit but oh well

i think i might do the evo IX front bumper tho from VIS. i may change the skirts n even look at custom modding the rear.

strike that im gonna get the evo VIII front

the bigger mouth on it will b nice for the intercooler that i soon 2 be behind it

Lip kit or something else, evo bumpers just dont belong on a non evo lancer

the only evo IX front bumper out on the market is made by us, ACCOLADE.

yea sry just noticed that. i think im going 2 go with the evo VIII front tho because i want to have the split grill. i just like the look a little better on my car, it looks a little closer to stock. i would just go with a lip (the the rrm CF front) but i want the bigger mouth on the front because im going 2 have a intercooler in there

neither do wings or driveline, but people are doin it.

if it fits, it fits. its all up to the owner.

imo the evo8 bumper for the lancer is ugly as ****. the real evo8 bumper is already narrow. putting it on a slimmer car, is just narrowing it more. but if you like have a wedge as a car, good for you. haha

Dave@Accolade · Oct 7, 2008, 06:56 PM

yeah the evo8 bumper front is not my favorite, i like the evo9 much better.

ajpavlovich · Oct 7, 2008, 11:15 PM

idk im still tryin 2 decide. i get what ur sayin about the 9 bein wider and yes wider would look better but i just love the grill area on the 8 so much more. itd be great if they made one with the width of the 9 and the grill of the 8 haha

like i said tho im still deciding. i dont want my car to look like a evo (obviously it cant anyways because its a sportback) but i do like the evo front as a part. as for the wing...once again no cuz its a sportback. the driveline i am going turbo because i think itd b badass 2 have a turbo sportback. like i said i dont neccesarily want my car to resemble a evo but i havent really seen any bodys that i really like.

if anybody has any suggestions tho post them up with links or pics and the info on it. im totally open to suggestions!
