Looking for an evo 9 conversion

want to do an evo 9 conversion
i got a 05 lancer ralliart for $5000 clean
Budget $9,000 total $4,000 parts
$4000
-$180 evo 8 wing
-$500 catback
-$500 hood
-$400 lighting mods
-$400 rims
-$120 mudflaps

so got like 2k

looking for an evo 9 rear conversion. i seen one done i can find front bumper sideskirts easy seen rear bumpers but i want to relocate license plate to bumper and have a blank trunk like the evos

looking to do the same but USD style

Will the evo trunk work and will the evo bumper fit i don't think so that would make life easy dam you making you cars so similar yet so different. I also thought about trying to switch my oz rally's bumper and trunk over .

I would see if the oz rally trunk will fit with the rear bumper. The evo has wider fenders and a wider rear quarter panel than the Lancers, so no, those parts won't fit. You would need to buy a evo 9 kit made for the 04-06 Lancer. Before you try to "convert" the RA to a Evo, spend more time reading in this forum and maybe you'll change your mind. The RA is a unique car, don't try to make it look like something it is not. Spend the 2k you have on coilovers and a set of rims and it'll make the RA look pretty sweet. It is your car though, so if you still want to make the RA look like an evo9, then go for it.

oz rally trunk Wont fit bumper will is a little off though

you think filling it in with bondo will work for the tuck then cutting out and making a co stem plate for an evo 9 style bumper using bondo and body fibercation

I have that front bumper, hood, rear bumper, and trunk. All still waiting to be painted. Was going to put them on my ralliart, but I am thinking of parting her out and selling the parts.
