I used to have evo 4 sideskirts, rear bumper, rear wing and I had an evo 5 front bumper that I never got round to putting on (couldn't be bothered dealing with the wide fenders and such).
Your car looks great, keep up the good work.

There is nothing to be shocked about. This info has been available for years now. All pics and quotes I provided are from past threads from here on evom. I also offered to sell you my spare parts after I told you what you needed... but you declined. which is fine but do you think I would try to sell you something you don't need? lol.. My thread is a build diary not a diy/how to. I only posted to set the record straight for others who may be interested in this swap.

Do you have any pix from the side? It looks like on the angle it was fine but as turbotime pointed out it doesnt always work. I wasnt quite clear what the actual fix on the centering is anyway. Is it just Evo LCA or is there more? It sounded like the evo push it too forward to the front end?
thanks

I hear you, this is what I used to drive before I recently bought my evo.
I used to have evo 4 sideskirts, rear bumper, rear wing and I had an evo 5 front bumper that I never got round to putting on (couldn't be bothered dealing with the wide fenders and such).

way to go to respond to it as you complain about it. I know that everybody looking through these threads doesnt always check the dates. If i find an 8 year old thread on the topic im researching i will still try to get any questions i have answered. The more time that has passed just means the more people have figured it out. Not everybody posts what needs to be done, let alone all of the details..

i know for my 02 and 03 lancers i would have to modify the wiring for the evo headlights to work properly. Im not very familiar with the 04 body styles but if your low beam and high beam are in the same bulb you will need to modify as well. The evo has seperate low beam and high beam bulbs.

Are those supposed to be links? Because they aren't working.
I got the same mitsubishi as you and I'm also trying to do the conversion. Just need the to know where you got the parts
