here's my model car with the fq400 body kit on it

i'm searching for the varis one now...

 

The fenders and hood included?

 

sure is i'm not gonna go poke holes in my car on my own!

 

So they started putting the Ralliart front on regular Lancers? If it is Ralliart around why only 158 hp?

 

Look good, but he has larger wheels and makes the car look better. However, to me it doesn't seem right to make a 158 hp car look like that. Get the ralliart or evo hood and call it a day. That way you can save up money and get new rims and maybe a lip.

 

So buy a fake one. That makes total sense.

 

this is Thailand mate. So i think it's a different version of the cz4a. i'm not too sure how they mixed and matched the bits though. but y'all really think it looks like the ralliart bumper eh?

 

roger that! so the order i guess should be rear bumper, exhaust, hood, wheels then possibly bodykit! wahooo!

 

I like the body kit and if I was living in asia I build my car the same way. The roads there you can't even drive pass triple digits half the time.

Also the Evo probably cost $100k over there.

 

Go look at the new 2012 Lancer GT's, the front end is exactly the Ralliarts, they are just missing the vents in the hood.

 

So you would pay money for a car that is fine the way it is, then add a bumper on it that is lower than the stock bumper on the "roads you can't even drive passed triple digits in?"

IMO I wouldn't buy any kind of exterior modification that makes my car look that aggressive if the car didn't have the performance to back it up.

EDIT: I also just realized, that is not an exact replica of the FQ400, look at the area of the bumper right after the hood where the small intake vent is. Sticks out much more than an Evo. I knew something looked weird about that nose.

 

Well yea. I don't think it is a real FQ400 kit like some members have on here. It is a body kit for a lancer to make it look similar to an FQ400.

 

Nice car! The color and front end look really good.

You should mod your car however you like. There is nothing wrong with replicas at all. The problem with replicas whether it be wheels or whole cars is when people try and claim they have the real deal. So in my opinion, mod it how you want but I personally wouldn't go around saying it's an fq400.

Also, see what some of the lancer and ralliart guys are doing in other threads to get some more ideas when it comes to mods.

 

thank you for the encouragement guys!
replica kit is the way to go for my car. i'd be seriously stupid to go the real deal!
also, i'd rather damage my skirt and bumper than lowering the car to look aggressive right? or am i missing a point here? (maybe can lower it a bit later?)
however, i'm DEFINITELY saving to spend on real TE37SL. mainly cos i can use it on another car if I get bored, or need to. and also the weight that it sheds on my car.... mhmmmmm

 

You can add whatever you want to you car.

My point was that I think your car/ our stock '12 Lancer GT's/ Ralliarts look best when they look clean and not overwhelmingly aggressive.

Check out the Ralliart page and look what they do to their cars. Most of them slap on a nice looking lip and their cars look amazing and not overdone in the least bit.
