AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dont ruin it. The old evo may look better to you but it's quickly becomming outdated. Plus, what about the HID lights? It seems like a lot of work to have an older version.

so what? bro if evo5 or evo 1 conversion is what you want to do

don't ever let people opinions determine your choice for you.. after all it's your project your car your money your creativity i'd say check with the mirage forums. they do a lot of older evo conversions
just my .02

From a performance aspect I disagree with mucking with the looks. The evo 8 is the most aerodynamic evos ever so why ruin it? As Coolguy949 said it's has xenons.

The fact is if you want an evo V get a mirage and buy a body kit. Personally i'd go with the IV because VI has pushed out fender and mirage aka lancer has not.

The new Evo 8 is based on the lancer cedia. A different chassis all together. It's a larger car but i'm sure you'd find new body kits but it won't look like a V.

this one has fotlight kit added. That's my recommendation to make it sort of like a V but if you decide to change the looks your alway welcome to show it off here.

Totally different chassis from the V or the III however. You're in for a tough fight.

Moving to Show and Shine.

EDIT: Actually UNmoving because I realized Show and Shine is a US Lancer sub forum. Always coulda sworn it was non car specific.

well the thing is i dont have my mind set on it but the mitsu emblem in the front is just killing me. even if i dont get the conversion, i feel like getting a new bumper cause it is just pissing me off.

Dude, just wait till body kit makers such as Veilside and Bomex, for example, get their hands on one and see where it goes from there. Just be patient.
