Maybe because i jumped right into it and had that issue that others would not take the jump as well. Thats my only thing.. Just more of the fact people were not taking the jump with me.

We did another piece with 2 spot welds with a uni body spot welding machine and those welds broke at about 14 tons of pressure. Crazy what this epoxy can do and its strength. If you where to use a 3x3 square of this stuff on the roof of a car and attack a hook to it you could pit up the hole car. Its that strong of a BOND. Its also water proof

There's lots of things we all do just for looks but it's our choice, our car.

It's like you think you're better than everybody because you had wider wheels and a voltex kit. We are all Evo enthusiasts with different goals and objectives.
Ah it was easy. I just pull out my chain saw and had at it No I masked it off like you did and cut about 1.5-2.5" around the top of where the wheel was.

Ya we are all still just Lancers in the end I have been contemplating getting rid of all my Voltex stuff and just doing a custom metal finished rear flare and Evo Dave front fenders with my Other parts I have

Its an 07 HSE model. I'd have to say its pretty uncomfortable (stiff suspension) and okay on reliability (small issues here and there), but the driving feel is great for such a big and heavy vehicle, and it looks great. Funny story: I found out while shopping for an IS350 at the dealership that the Range Rover was at the bottom of a car reliability list they showed me lol. But its such a cool car.
I haven't towed my Evo since its a DD anyways so there's no need, so I can't say much about that.
Pretty much, prepare to pay a lot for everything and probably end up going to the dealership for issues a couple times a year. But its a fun SUV to drive (this is coming from someone who hates big cars).

The fitment for me was good, but some adjustment/trimming was still needed. That is unless you're talking about getting the front to clear the tires... then lots of trimming is needed lol
