In a direct bolt on sense, no. The shape of each are different.

It could be done with fabrication but the question remains...Is it worth it? Probably not.

I hope we have been able to give you some good advice so far.

the evo trunk will fit but not perfectly i have a ix on mine i also have a body kit from ExtremeDimensions.com it has been on for 7 months now and doing fine no visible chips or cracks just scrapes under the rear end from dragging but gotta be under the car to see. The body kit will have to be fitted and unless you are best friends with the shop owner (lucky for me i grew up racing MX with his kid and he is BFF with my dad) it will cost a small fortune mostly cuz most body shops are body kit stupid so they take forever to get it to fit right.

I currently have AEM CAI Ebay fart can, and short shifter (got lucky and it sounds good no coffee can effect) RRM head, cam, intake mani, motor mounts, udp, rear strut, high flow cat, black tail lights and couldnt be happier with it all here is one of my threads

I'm just wondering if a 17 year old wants to listen to a 35 year old Ralliart owner's opinion. I'm guessing not, so I'll just say hello.

HELLO!

thats funny but my ears are open all knowledge is good in my opinion


small fortune for central oregon labor 65$ hr if the shop knows what they are doing 8-10hr front bumper 8-10hr rear bumper 4-5hr side skirt $1300-$1625 if the know what they are doing if they dont, they can still do it but just not experienced double those numbers and that is just to fit the kit no paint and no fiberglass and resin cost add easy 15-20hrs to prep prime paint and blend with car at $80hr plus cost of parts $1200-$1600 for paint

so all together it is somewhere in the ballpark of $2500-$3200 for fit and paint then add in part cost but this is also just for central oregon cant say for where you are

oh i guess i can tell you what it cost me this is give or take i did mine cuz i hit a deer and mangled my bumpers skirt and fender and aftermarket is cheaper
for body kit time to fit and color swap cost me (Geico) $6200 so save alot but your best bet is to go to a body shop and ask they can give you ballpark figures

..... well in that case.......

Don't mess with looks too much. Do subtle things to improve appearance to your liking (looks are so subjective though, so subtle to one person is extreme to another).
--IMO, tasteful is: rims (within reason....No, 20's aren't within reason on a Ralliart), window tint, debadging, front grill change to mesh, etc. Small things to enhance.
--IMO, dis-tasteful is: big a$$ body kits that rarely fit right (unpainted is a big no-no), anything "Evo" (big a$$ *****, hoods, etc), chrome (doesn't fit on the Ralliart, IMO), big graphic kits......pretty much anything that screams "I just watched all the Fast and Furious movies and took them seriously".

Same goes for "go-fast" modifications. Especially exhausts. Sometimes people hack up an exhaust so much it makes me want to punch puppies.

Basically, think about everything carefully first, and don't be a hack about stuff you change. If you do something, do it right.

Fellow old fart. You remember when fuel injection was a selling point? How about cars that had an emblem on the back that said "fuel injection". My dad once told me "I don't understand these imports - they have too many wires and hoses under the hood..."

*sigh* yes, I remember when fuel injection was new.
But I also got to experience some cars that came with carburetors.
