Test car needed

ok guys AutoCityImports is going to be making a conversion body kit for the lancer.
They need a test car out in California. They will be fitting this kit to a lancer body.
If anyone is interested please email me at ej@soflancer.com

Your car will be needed for about a week and you will receive a free kit!



So let me know if interested, email only please!
If ur not in Cali dont bother asking, already tried. (unless ur willing to drive up their)

That is the kit from Accolade. Currently its a wide body kit only available for the Evo X. As he said in his first post, they are trying to fit it to a Lancer.

Obviously, all I'm sayin is that its seems like infringement on another companies work to be showcasing their work as their own. I don't like causing problems but I have no problem laying it out like it is. If the OP represents the body shop creating the conversion I hope they are only using someone else's kit as inspiration and not replication. Some of you might like that, but remember innovation is better than mimicked invention. Besides its bad press and bad reputation, two things the tuner industry struggles with sometimes. I love looking at body kits like the next man, but I don't wanna transform my OZ into something its not. Thats the one thing that pisses me off about some ppl in the Show and Shine. I dont wanna name names but they spend thousands of dollars trying to transform an es lancer into a damn evo and are ignorant enough to say the resale value will be higher than an VIII. I respect and admire their perseverance but idk, I feel like there are more dumb ppl ruining my hobby than their are tact and smart ppl innovating. Ricer's are becoming the plague and I'm tired of seeing vortex generators and evo wings on a FWD that isn't gonna do s*** for performance. I'm not trying to go off topic or offend anyone but that's just how I see it and if I have to be the regulator and the heretic, so be it.
Momma always said if you want something, save up! Good day gents

That is not our kit it is from Black Illusion Japan. How they can get a nice fitting kit made in 1 week is beyond on me.. We usually take around 1-1/2 months to make sure our kits fit and look right in the design phase.
