you sir give us base model owners some pride and you are doing a amazing job... i would do this to my own car too if i had access to a welder lol i has few questions for ya... how are you mounting the evo bumper to the car? did u have to swap out for the evo rad support or are you using what you have ,, aka what came on the base lancer? once its said and done, are you gonna use good filler over ait panels and make it smooth transition to original panel ?

Thanks a bunch! The rear bumper is getting mounted to the ait fenders just like it would on the actual car fenders, I'm using the oz radiator support, I just have to make metal extensions for the tabs and figure out how to wire the headlights. And yes I'll mould the fenders into the body but idk what kind of filler is stronger than bondo haha

maybee bondo-glass? that stuff has fiberglass mixed into the bondo, then theirs also pro grade bondo stuff you can use.. to stick i would prep area around ait fenders to bare metal and spread the filler between the ait fender and oem, make sure you give eno space to spread it evenly so it looks smooth.. i used bondo-glass before, strong stuff when i had to repair my evo 7 bumper.. what some have done is lay fiberglass mat over fender to oem panel, once its dry then you lay bondo over that.. the link i posted on page 1, post 12, has what that dude did starting on page 7 and look on page 8... that will help with panels and fuel door keep up the good work

Thanks! I got more pics to come I'm so busy with all these projects I just picked up a ralliart and I swapped all the stuff into an 03 oz and turboed it so that took up some time, today I just got done with the 4 disc 5 lug swap to this evo conversion
