Attention body kit makers

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...light=widebody


is there anyone out there who thinks this kit could be adapted to the usdm lancer or a similar kit could be made.not asking for the usdm lancer to look like an evo 8 from front ,maybe a kenstyle front and rear bumper with it adapeted so the lines of the kit could flow onto those fenders.anyone who is like yoda with paintshop have a look at trying this idea out.

just incase this starts a war in the threads (its just an idea)

wide body sound really nice, but imagine if the fiberglass break or crack, it will cost too much trouble...

wont happen, i tried, they said they would make it, no one ever did, quite frankly because of the reason that most of the people that say the will buy it, wont and its not really worth it to make a mold for something like that and only have 3-5 people buy it and 50% of those people actually be ht eonly ones to get it on

Well at least you can install the stock kit back right away, and for the wide body parts... is molded to the car..so once it crack and of course it need to be fix asap, meaning you won't able to drive your car during the repair...

... and if you dont have the stock kit, then drive without one

im bored so i did this

searchin through the evom forums i found some old pics from accolade and decided to muck around with them.obviously i did it in windows paint but you kinda get the jist of it.unfortunatly the car is silver and my car is blue so if you can imagine the car is dark blue and on the sde skirts and bumper the bold blue areas will be silver.
well as i said im bored so i thought why not post em.

I think our Lancer (02-06 model) doesn't look good with fender flares, they will look better with boxer body. I meant, Mirages looks good with wide body flares, but not on this model.
