i think i've heard that some people have had problems with fitment on the gt2 kit in the past. anyone have input who has the kit or knows someone who does? i'm gettin' ready to order one in the next month or two, so i'd like to know what kinda problems, if any, i'm gonna run into.

 

ha, well, i guess i'll atleast be pretty original, being the only lancer RA that has the gt2 bodykit on evom. ha, nah, come on guys, i know someone else has the kit, someone else post.

 

All kits made by accolade are OEM Fit and fit really well, All aftermarket parts however should be installed by a knowledgable person in the related field.

I was gonna get it but I am gonna have to put it off. From what I was ttold Everything but the Hood will Fit.BTW.. I am getting mine before you hehe... I am Prolly Gonna get it in The next few weeks.

 

awesome, well, let me know how it fits and what the process is that you went through as far as installing it n stuff.

 

I have the kit installed. The hood is junk, you will have to take your your strut tower brace out to have it fit properly, and it still wont mate up properly. My honest opionion is to leave the stock hood on (which i have done). My hood came cracked, which the body shop fixed. The fitment of the other compenents is pretty good, you dont have to remove the front bumper, A++. However rear bumper does need to be removed. Side skirts need alot of tweeking to get them to mount flush to the side's.

Overall the GT2 kit is a good kit for the money.

Got mine before all of you!! haha. I will try to get some pics up, having a problem cause they are too large.

 

remove what from the front bumper???? re-bar?

 

you dont have to remove any peices other then the stock front nose piece to install the front nose piece. The rear piece you have to remove the rear bumper. which is not street legal, owell.

 

i dont get it...

 

OKay, the nose or rear end is your not your bumber. the bumper is behind them. Which is made of metal, that has to be their for crashes. Other wise you would just be protected by pastic/fiberglass.

So the part that you see that is painted is not your bumper. the bumper is behind it.

On the gt2 kit you dont have to remove the metal bumper on the front. But on the rear end you do in order to install the rear piece included in the gt2 kit.


Hope that helps.

 

awesome. i'm ordering the kit either tonight or tomorrow. just needed to know about how hard it was to install the whole kit. about how long did it take you/the body shop to do the install? also, would you reccomend doing it yourself, or paying to have it put on?

 

also, heh, what color is your RA?

 

I would recdomend a body shop to install it, just for the fact if they mess up they have to fix it. It took my body shop 2 1/2 days to complete.

Color of my car is red.

I also have the first cold air intake for an automatic installed on my car.

Complete stereo system by visonik, its sweet looking. wish i could post pics.
