Dealer prices FTW!

Finally decided to bite the bullet and just pay whatever rape charges the dealer would give me for the evo license bracket, and lo and behold, it was less than anywhere i've seen advertised online. $32 total including taxes, and they had it in stock!! Yay for a front plate again. I usually hate front plates on cars, but the evo license bracket makes it stylish.

much better plate location than 99% of cars out there. Surely should find some good pricing if you look around

Yeah i suppose i'm due for more pics. I'll take some tomorrow.

As for the holes in the middle, they're still there. You just cant see them as well because its obviously painted flat black. The new kit was mounted to the bumper with 2 self tapping screws. Thats how the dealers suggested installation. I also drilled 2 holes and used another 2 self tapping screws in the bottom to secure it tighter as well.

so will the evo plate (or the rally art plate) fit on the 2010 lancer sportback? I called the stealership but they said it won't but they seem to be pretty clueless

Yes it will fit, but the bumper on the Evo has a ridge that the lancers do not.. there will be a small gap between part of the plate and your bumper, but you really don't notice it. other than that, they fit perfectly
