Exclamation Evo X fender Arch on Ralliart

has anyone put the black arch that the evo has behind the front wheel, on their ralliart? I have seen some on ebay for about $55 that are meant for the ralliart. not sure how this would look but want to see!

It won't look as nice! Ralliarts fenders and not as wide, neither are the quarter panels. It's gonna stick out like a sore thumb. I do believe the eBay pics do show a non evo lancer with them on.

Be proud of your ralliart! Don't try to copy the look of the evo IMO.

They make them in carbon fiber too but they are like $100 or so. Ive always liked the look of the vents on the evo and the Ralliart.

Why add a front lip....why put on different wheels....why add a spoiler.....why put on a body kit? None of it is necessary nor does it necessarily help with speed or aerodynamics. Its all what people wanna do to their own cars and its all for aesthetics!!

Evo fender vents are functional!!!!!!! It think is just wast of money unless you are planning to make them functional.................... Well just in case your car did not come with Recaros, but you saw them in your friend's evo there is a solution for you

Most reputable named brand front lips are actually functional aero wise, upgrade wheels for lighter ones or wider, spoilers for down force. A fake vent does absolutely nothing accept add weight .

Ummmm no! The lips available for the ralliart are barely if not functional aero wise at all. Most people on here are not upgrading for lighter wheels. Most are adding wider wheel and tires which half the time is goin to stay the same or add weight. Most people on here that have ralliarts are adding the evo x spoiler which is heavier than the ralliart or are adding a stick on lip which is not gonna help in any downforce. Those vents basically weigh nothing and unless your drag racing or auto-xing (which most are not) these vents arent gonna hurt and kind of performance.

Like I previously mentioned people are most likely adding weight to their cars anyways and most aftermarket cosmetic parts being put on cars are not helping with aero or performance. Its just an aesthetic part and either you like it or dont but I have no isuues with something as small as this.
