new ralliart owner: question

Does anyone know if you can get RALLIART mud flaps for an 2010 RALLIART? If I order the ones for a EVO X will they fit?

I think the X flaps use different holes for mounting, so they wouldn't fit...unfortunately.

Not 100% positive..., anyone know otherwise?

I know RallyArmor makes flaps specifically for the GTS/Ralliart body so you can try to order those if you can't get the X flaps.

The flaps for the X won't fit.

Why not get some rallyarmor flaps instead?

I was considering getting some good badges and putting them on my rallyarmor mud flaps. My contact at the dealer has aftermarket badges on his mud flaps on his Outlander and they look really good!

I got the RALIARMOR mudflaps and had to order the EVO ones because they did not have Raliart ones. You will have to decide how you want them mounted because even though you can you the stock locations for the screws that already exist on your wheel wells you will have to drill new holes in the mudflaps to be able to use these holes. You can use the hardware provided in the kit that comes with them. My only concern was one I wanted blue printing as my car is Octane blue and they sent me white and second the flaps were smaller than what I thought they would be, so I had to angle the back flaps out and up to actually have them protect some of my painted surfaces.

Umm... the Evo ones aren't the correct ones for our car. The Evo has wider wheel wells and different fenders so the srews will be in different spots. The 08+ Lancer ones are the ones that fit perfectly on our car, no drilling or modifying, straight forward bolt-on.

+1 ^ Absolutely a bolt-on to stock mounting points, perfect fit.

*Womp womp* lol Jackal whenever in doubt about a part, 90% of the time you have to opt for Lancer parts over the Evo. We are built on the Lancers chassis. Learn from this mistake.

So is the EVO.

You have to assess whether parts are interchangeable on an item-by-item basis. You can't say that no body parts are cross-compatible. Look at the hood and trunk.

The thing to remember in this case is that you are buying a part that mates with part that is specific to base Lancers and Ralliarts, but not EVOs. If you bought a part that mated with the roof, for instance, it would fit ANY Lancer from this generation.

I don't mean to blow your high but they are different. CY4A - Lancer, CZ4A - Evo. Look it up . And I never said u can't interchange any parts with the Evo at all. I'm pretty sure I said "90% of the time" opt for lancer parts.

to the op, i put the oem flaps on mine, same as the ones for the gts, and they look really nice, but are pretty low profile compared to the others like ralllyarmor. much less protection offered, but they look like they came with the car. rallyarmor definitely offers better protection, but they are obviously added on.
i chose the ones personally, because i prefer the cleanest look possible and they still offer at least a bit more protection than nothing at all. plus, how often am i really going off-roading? our streets are clean enough that i dont need anything that major. just my reasoning personally

I just ordered the Rally Armor ones. The thing looks like a rally car with the winter tire setup so I might as well finish the look. For summer however, they're coming off and it will get suspension, 18x9s, and some kind of lip for the summer look.

If you have any technical articles listing the exact differences between chassis, I'd like to see them. They listed different chassis codes between the Mirage and the EVO VII, but people have been able to swap part for part with almost no major modifications necessary. If I remember correctly, Mitsu isn't the only ones using this chassis either, because it was developed in conjunction with Hyundai, and I believe one other manufacturer.

The only difference I remember hearing about between the RA and the EVO chassis is that, supposedly, the EVO chassis had additional seam welds. According to the information Works was posting when stripping down the RA, they couldn't see a marked difference anywhere in the chassis.
