I'm buying an evo vii real soon now .. i was thinking of converting it to an evo ix. anyone know if it works ? basically i think i'll have to change the front and rear bumper, the spoiler, head and tail lights, and add a vortex generator. oh and rims too ...im just not sure if that would work or id have any problems. can anyone help me out ?

 

i know the hoods are different also. i'm sure either would work but i'm not sure if it would match the lines quite right. personally i'd leave it alone as a VII but if you do do it i'm sure there are people that would possibly be interested in your old parts

 

I imagine it'd be a fairly straight forward conversion... but why? VII's are the sh*t

and that's true about the parts... there are lots of guys who'd be interested

 

You will need the following to go authentic Evo 9...

Evo 9 Front & Rear bumpers
Evo 8 or 9 bonnet to match front bumper (Evo 7 bonnet is shaped differently)
JDM headlights (black housing)
JDM Rear Lights
Rear spoiler
Vortex Generator
Evo 9 wheels

I think that's it...on the outside

 

Why would you do that? The VII has nice body lines.

 

I'm sure someone here would be willing to straight up trade you their IX stuff for your VII stuff. Shipping would be the only cost. Tons of people like the looks of the VIIs more than the VIII and IX.

 

yeah don't some people go the other way? convert their 9 to look like an evo vii?

 

yes, you can convert, they are Direct swap.

 

EVO VII PURE HOTNESS....

Taken with Camera phone though...will post better pics later

 

You will need the Bumper, Lower Lip, Mesh, Upper Grill Supports, Diamond, Hood, Hood Grill, Hood Vent, Headlights, Taillights, Rear Bumper, and Wing.

Its alot of work, but it look good, but then again so does the Evolution VII

 

don't do it!!! keep the look of a VII

 

The 7 looks like a riced out lancer. Any one else agree, the 9 looks so much better,

 

i could not disagree with you more, and this is coming from a ix owner

 

Leave it a 7!

 

dont do it....VII's are the ****...and after all..they are all evos...
