EVO X front bumper on Lancer GTS ?

we had some seriously bad freezing rain here in edmonton and my sister slid into a frozen solid snow bank. she has a crack in her front bumper and possibly a front fender that is dented.
is it possible to put on the EVO X front bumper? if so, do i also need the front fenders because its wide body?
Alternatively, could i put on the ralliart front bumper without the front fenders? would these parts be a direct bolt on?

what does it take to put an EVO X front bumper on a Lancer GTS ? ?

Ralliart should work np...for evo X bumper you would need fenders to make it work..but then the back of the car wouldnt look as wide and would look crappy imo. There are some aftermarket options out there and are usually cheaper than OEM parts. Try these sites.

And this last link i can't really say I agree with how this company operates and cant vouch for the quality of any of their parts. but here it is anyway. And know that its possible for your parts to take an EXTREMELY long amount of time to get to you with them.

Question

okay so the fenders on her car are fine so i dont want to change those. just the front bumper. A ralliart front bumper should fit right? I called a mitsubishi dealership and they said the fog-lights are different between the two cars, so I dont want to mess with that. Can anyone on here confirm that this it true?

that said, i just want to buy an EVO X (preferably) or Ralliart style front bumper for the Lancer GTS, that fits and works with the factory GTS fog-lights. Where can I source one?

If this one works with the factory fog lights, it would be ideal:

http://www.bodykits.com/249/261/897/...r-p-39383.html

for some reason although this is on the same website, and looks the same, it has its own seperate page and ID number:

http://www.bodykits.com/249/261/897/...r-p-34938.html

thank you Stuntfly02 for linking me to www.bodykits.com

unfortunately unless you get a lip kit, any of the other aftermarket kits you wont be able to use your stock GTS foglights. theres no aftermarket RA style kits yet, just evo X style kits..the fog light area is way too big to fit the GTS lights, you could make it work it would just need some custom work and mounting

fog lights for evo and GTS are diff GTS is just a piece of plastic with a holding spot for the Fog lights, with the evo x theres actually a fixture that bolts on to the bumper, and then the fog light covers that go over that. from the dealer its gonna run you about 400 for OEM evo fogs..so if you dont want to spend that kind of money you may be out of luck trying to get the fogs to work.

how about the bumper cap and grill. cant you just change that out with the evo x style instead of buying a bodykit or painting it?
