The rear bumper looks like crap because it isn't a two piece set like the real evos... also whats up with the rear doors.... seems like too much work to put a kit like that on.

It's a good job nevertheless.
Personally I think the new body style of X (& the new lancer) isn't much of an advance in design over the last generation, which isn't saying alot consider that the IX or previous models isn't the prettiest car in the world. Changing from base to X style seriously isn't really enhancing the look to begin with to be worth the effort IMO. But that just me.
My cousin was telling me not to get the X, at 2x the price, its look too much like the base lancer & people can only tell the difference when up close. I told him don't mind even if they looks exactly the same, after all an evo is a lancer.
I have past the stage where I care out such issues like letting people know I get the "real deal", or I drive an expensive car. But that just me.

not bad but the rear could use some more redesign....but not bad at all dave
but im sure i can speak for lots of use base lancers that we like the parts of the evo.... some of us just wanna be different and if putting parts of evo's that fit makes us diff then so what.. if i had a base 08/9 id but a evox kit and get the ra tails
nice work dave you always amaze me

looks decent..not sure if i would be fooled hanging around at a car meet but it looks decent...
i hope the front fenders arent done yet? that under mesh needs to go..and how does the rear fenders look? seems hard to pull off..

i have a lancer my self and yes it has a ralliart lip it and a evo wing, why did it do it you ask, because it makes the car look better, and thats it, not because i want to look like an evo, and when people think or ask if it is or try to race, its real simple, just say NO.

), but they still want everyone to think they have an evo. only solution is to throw a bunch of evo parts on and hope nobody notices how slow the car actually is. Not hating on this kit. It does look like really good work. I just hate the whole idea behind the "conversion kit" regardless of what car it's for. You can call it an upgrade all you want but it's really a "poser kit"

how is putting parts from the evo on your lancer making you different if everyone who has a lancer does it? everyone on here with a modded lancer only has one because they can't afford an evo (trust me I had an 03 lancer before I could afford my evo ), but they still want everyone to think they have an evo. only solution is to throw a bunch of evo parts on and hope nobody notices how slow the car actually is.
