evo 8 to 9 conversion

Wanted to post a conversion that I had done a few weeks ago. Im very happy with the results and the installation was not as hard as I originally heard and thought it was going to be. Let me start with how the cars front and rear end use to look like.

Before







After








I really want to thank the guys over at SpeedElement for their great customer service and Immediate delivery of quality products. You guys Rock


Oh Btw Im still interested in the Ralliart front lip Cal I'll call you to put in a deposit bro

Looks good, but I kind of like the look of your old setup with the lip. You gonna get a new lip?

Looks amazing!

Can you post some pictures to show how much the exhaust sticks out? Thanks!

Wow, it looks great. It might look better if you got a CF lip and a mitsu symbol in the front, than you'll be all set. For personal taste, I would try to get all the amber out. Also, it looks like your door isn't aligned right in the last pic, or maybe your door just isn't shut? Looks great though.
