Evo X Front bumper and fenders on RA???
Might order fenders and front bumper tmw. Think it will fit? I know a lot of you will think it will look funny since the front will be wider then the rear but I have to flare out the rears anyway due to 18x9.5 +35 Rota DPT's =D

Opinions and input welcome.

You may need new fender liners as well as the new fenders, and you may have to modify the steel bumper beem due to the ducts in the EVO X bumper cover... I am not so much worried about it being wider than the rear... just that with the narrower track of the Ralliart it may look strange. Hopefully your wheels compensate for that.

Are you talking about the crash bar? It's coming out with the new bumper. Also new IC and pipes coming at the first of the year. And fender liners are only $40 a piece so no worries there.

I was wondering how you could get the parts that cheap until I checked out that site.... the bumper cover in the picture is not for an EVO (may be generic picture)... but the other things are not right either. The bumper support is steel and the one pictured has no airflow passages for the intercooler (once again, may be generic picture) , and the fenders are steel (pics don't show vents behind wheels)... all of those parts should be aluminum!

I hope it works out for you, but I would be leery of getting knockoff steel parts. Better to find a part out car that has a smashed rear end and no front damage.

Are the metal parts aluminum or steel? Huge weight difference.

Good thing they back up their products
