does evo 8 SS fit lancer?

i have an rmr front lip and kenstyle side skirts, but they are not installed yet. i'm worried about the side skirts being too low compared to the front lip, and i dont really want the oz side skirts because its a bit plain. i was wondering if the evo 8 side skirts fit the u.s. lancers?

They should fit without a problem, but they will stick out like nobody's business!

Look at the Accolade Evo7 kit for an example. They should be the same skirts.

a real evo sideskirt will come out towards the front and rear fenders...keep in mind that the evo is flared out so the sideskirts are as well to keep everything evened out...they will fit a regular lancer but there will be an odd flare or both ends of the skirts will be sticking outwards.

i would say for you to stick with the ken style skirts they are slightly lower than stock OZ skirts and the same goes with the RMR Lip.

It won't fit, look how much the rear fender flares out. The SS follows the flare. Try it though, I could be wrong.

they'll bolt up fine he'll just have the ends of the skirts popping out due to the evo8 flares.

As I already said, look at the Accolade Evo 7 kit to see EXACTLY what the skirts look like on a Lancer. The skirts are reproduction Evo 7, which is identical to the 8 skirts.

To reiterate...they fit, but look stupid.

Hey jenn, check out the SS from the lancer DAMD kit, those are real nice. Just don't know where to look for them, I guess that's why they have the search button though.

if that kit came here, a lot of evo 8 owners would be PISSED. what's with taiwan and making so many evo kits anyway?
