hi there all. so i bought a 2003 lancer oz rally from some university student for 2500. has 94xxx miles and a pretty clean interior. he was in an accident and it was repaired(clean title thank god, wouldn't of gotten a loan without it lol) ive already gotten a shop to look at it and was quoted at 1500 to 2000 to get the fornt end fixed and as back to factory as possible.(so im assuming itll be like 2500 to 3000 lol) im gonna start saving and once i get it paid off il get everything fixed. once its back to normal lol i wanted to do something to the body to make it look more aggresive. ive seen/read all the posts about evo 9 body conversions and different body kits and im sure ill find something i like. so far its bone stock, ive changed the oil for full synthetic, chantged the air filter and added lucas oil additive. gonna get exhaust and a CAI soon. anyway(im long winded haha) this sight is awesome and the cars are great to look at!!

 

from what i see the front end dont look that bad except the hood.... did he tell you where exactly the front got hit?

 

Why repair it back to stock then get a kit? Save some money by going straight for an aftermarket hood/bumper!

Welcome to the site!

 

yeah really, just get yourself a new hood and like an evo 7 bumper

 

Good deal man, it'll look great in no time. Also, like everyone said, just go for the conversion.

 

well i got it looked at at a local shop and the frame needs straightening. im not planning on buying any stock parts liek bumpers or fenders or anything, im gonna just get teh frame straightened and get my evo parts. i kinda want it to look liek this(https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/la...evo-front.html) but im not sure what front end that is off of. a evo 7 or evo 9?
