how to spot oem evo 3 kits from copies

hi guys im planning to convert my lancer to evo 3 since it is almost impossible to find original evo 3 in our country and if you find one it is way overpriced.

Is that even possible? All Evos are AWD and Lancers are not. So, on the Evo, there's a drive shaft tunnel to the rear. What comes in the kit?

In here there are 2 kinds. If you have a lot of money you buy a half cut and a rear cut evo. Then a donor lancer so you can have an awd. If you are a little tight in money you stay fwd. You can just buy the engine. Look for bumpers hood. Sides and spoiler. Fenders

Nobody on this side of the pond is doing anything like that so no help here. It sounds like a crazy amount of work and trouble. Maybe shop for a later model and more common Evo.
