Question Just wondering..

How about this one! Does anybody think that a Evo bumper cover would fit on a RA?? (even if other parts are needed to get it to fit. Preferably without getting Evo fenders??)????

yeah it would fit perfectly fine but you would have to get the fenders on the front and the back and the back bumper so it would actually look like it goes there
i asked the dealer ship about htis before
they said it would look uber retarded cuz it wouldnt fit wit the fenders

hmm im thinkin about painting the chrome rim red on mine...
And i think it would look sweet if you could buy one big grill and get rid of the front bumper, only problem is, its your bumper lol. still got your frame and stuff under there, so even if someone took the plastic piece off, you would still see the metal bumper and styrofoam padding **** thats under there.

If you got red pinstripe on your rims, then that could possibly be pretty cool.


You could always cut out the center section of the bumper, and do a bit of work on the bumper cover to make it look correct. However, I would imagine that the bumper might add a bit of structural stiffness. IMO, it looks just fine with it.

The evo x bumpers will not fit without modification. They are wider than the regular lancers, including the RA.

heres what he said to me...

"
it doesnt fit exactly at the sides (fenders) you have to do some kind of work on the clips .. but it gonna fits really good and looks great ! you should look into that.

and one more thing .. if you can get the fenders will be better .. im looking for them actually."

his name is lancer09mx go check out his album....looks weird tho cuz theres no FMIC in it
