I will be personally answering phones and handling service I am just waiting for new equipment to be delivered to me that will allow me portable hands free talk, So I can work in the wharehouse and handle calls.

I'm happy to see that you guys are making a strong effort to change the current perception of your company from past experiences. It's gonna be tough to change that image, but I appreciate the fact that you are working towards that goal. I know a lot of companies and people would have ran away by now with their tail between their legs. It says something about you for not doing that.

I agree with that there... But back to what the thread was about, I can't decide if I want to get my kit installed and then wait to get a paint job, or wait and get them both done at the same time... I know it's alot smarter to get them both done at the same time, but I've seen some people who've had them done seperately, so just thought I would ask...

after $5,000 in body work and 20pounds of bondo it will fit awesome, that is until you hit a bug and the kit explods like it was rigged with C4.

Man, please don't be "that guy." You know the one. That guy that drives his car around with his new body kit that is all primered and looking like crap. Do the right thing and do it at the same time. If you don't have the money ready for the paint job then let the kit sit in your garage till you do. It's not gonna melt away if you don't put it on right away. lol

they are just miss in formed, i'm not sure what tire size you are running, but my tires are the exact same heigth as stock, you only have problems if you have a taller tire that factory. the only reason it it lowered in the front and not the back is because the bolts wouldn't come out, but i will be lowered in the rear by the end of the week. it dosen't rub, and it drives fine. it is alittle loose in the rear. but once i lower it and install my sway bar i will be good as gold.

I'm still running stock myself... I'm in Japan and my wife has the car in Hawaii, so I guess I couldn't really say I'm running them right now... I'm waiting until I get to Hawaii sometime later on this year to start all that stuff myself... What size are you running? I was thinking about doing progess springs on front and rear, but was wondering about the same thing you mentioned earlier, will the back end rub?

wow

You guys are getting way to far into this hole body kit thing. ok,
1.) I didn't rivet anything
2.)It's simple with two other people helping.
3.) parts I used 1.self taping screws 2.two sided tape with harding cement.3blots,washers and locking nuts. 3. black cocking sealer.

there was no bondo and no 5000 body tab. two I paid 400 for my pieces of my kit to be painted and 35 in supplies. With help of family and the right tools making it look the way it does took 9 hours. takig the kit off and putting the new kit on.

What happened to the days when the Rallart section of this site was the one place you could go to get away from the silly immature arguments. This place is starting to look exactly like the Lancer and Evo sections. I liked it better when not a lot of people had our car.

Ralliart1979 thanks for your support and your honest feedback on our products..

To the critics as I said before there are other options, you are free to choose.. we hope we will be able to change your minds in the near future. There is nothing that can discourage us from continuing to offer the lancer community more styling options and striving to perfect our product.. through trial and error we have come to regard our product as one of the best.. if you feel otherwise buy from the other guy..
