Front bumper swap question

Hi guys, obviously by my post count, I'm a lurker, not a poster here. Well my woman drives a 2010 Lancer Ralliart Sportback that I bought her as a birthday present. She wants to do some cosmetic alterations to make it look more like an Evo. She was probing the internet for body kits and some small powertrain mods. Her question is, will this front bumper fit on her car or will other things need to be done? I would love to see the Evo X front fenders on her car too but don't know if they would stick out wider than the rear fenders?

I'm a domestic car guy but have always loved WRC cars. I grew up in England so it's something that I've always enjoyed, wouldn't mind an X myself. Please let me know about this bumper. I'm curious to know about this too.

TIA

It should work very well! The actual EVO X stuff will not fit and look 'off' on our cars...

Go to the show n shine section and see the SB thread for other external ideas

Someone had that same bumper on here and complained about the fit and finish.. i believe it also leaves a huge gap between the underside tray and bumper.

Oh don't do that to me. If she goes into that thread it's going to be a "hand made" Christmas/birthday/anniversary for a WHILE.

There have been some people do an evo x conversion as well. Obviously the back fenders have to be custom on the Sportback. It would be a lot of work and money but it is possible haha. Here are two pics from two different conversions:





The Blue one used an OEM Evo X front bumper
