Q. Why would you want your lancer to look like an evo? Your first trip to the local race track/race at the lights would easily demonstrate that you are not driving an evo! I say put the money down as a deposit on the real thing.

Good idea, but I'd rather see a more aggressive design.

It will most likely be option 1 that is made. The bumper will stick as far in as possible so it can clear the front reinforcment. The stock hood will not fit with the bumper, but u shoudl beable to go to any bodyshop and they can shave the attached grill right off and make it look perfect, it shouldnt cost that much, and i might even if usomeone wants that option have my fiberglass man do it befor ei send them to u. Project was started today i will post pictures asap once the first mold is done!

He said they'll be making them in fiberglass and that "new plastic".

This question has been axed soo many times...it's really up to the person who's buying the kit. I personally like the "Evolution" look, I've seen all the other kits out there and it doesn't do anything for me.

its most probably going to be PFRP plastic since a lot of body kit makers are going to be switching to this stuff since it is so good to use.

i'm not 100% sure which they are using to make but i believe it will be the PFRP plastic stuff, and not the fiberglass for the bumpers, but the hood will most likely be fiberglass.

Let's see some kits side by side by side so we can make a more educated decision.

Since you have "connections" when it comes to kits. Maybe you can get a designer to create another kit for the US Lancer...

I'll be getting a phatty paycheck this thursday and I've already got a fubared front lip from some crazy drifting up north. I need a body kit but I'd much rather shovel my money somewhere with pics...I'm very serious as well, but i think i can speak for everyone on this thread that i hope the fabrication ACTUALLY goes through. Prototype pics would be awesome though!
