That Accolade body kit looks kind of outrageous.

In case you guys haven't seen this, here is another picture of the Gialla body kit along with the Ralliart mirrors. Except this is in white.

I saw a test of an EVO VII C-West hood and front bumper compared to the JDM EVO VII stock bumper and hood. The test showed that "air intake" temperatures were decreased by 8 degrees celcius by using the C-West front bumper and hood. Not only does it look kick *** it is beneficial.

I can post the article with pics from the Evolution book that I have. It is in a Japanese published book, if you can read Japanese you will be able to decipher what you are looking at.

DrEvo: I agree with you about that Gialla kit.
If you are going to order it, make sure you order the hood, front bumper, and the two carbon fiber inlets that go with the bumper for a total of four pieces.

kcEvo: Would you please post those scanned pictures of your magazine/book that show this? If the US version of this body kit yeilds the same results, that gives me more reason to like the C-West body kit the most.

I don't believe there will be a C-West EVO VII body kit made for the USDM EVO VIII. www.vividracing.com put the C-West EVO VII body kit on their project car with minor modifications.

C-West is making a EVO VIII body kit, but I believe it is still made specifically for the JDM cars. Not completely sure.

Also, I don't believe the C-West EVO VIII carbon fibre hood is available yet to be matched with thier front bumper. You can still use your OEM hood though. This kit also has the "mouth" opening as the EVO VII kit does, for the air intake, but it does not have a notch that is made in the hood like the C-West EVO VII kit does.

If you go with the C-West EVO VII front bumper you will have to also buy their hood as well so everything lines up correctly. The OEM EVO VII hood will not work with this kit either. Look at he pictures that are on vivid's closely for the two kits and they will give you a visual of this.

I will try and get the article where I saw the test of the OEM EVO VII bumper and hood compared to the C-West EVO VII bumper and hood as soon as possible. It might be poor quality, but I will try.

It's EVO owners mag published here Japan.
The part about IX is talking about whether the EVO 9 will come out or not. As all you guys know by now the colt-based platform is taking over as bread and butter car for WRC. So with all the money going for that project...R&D fund for the EVO are limited. Good mag..they also have them for WRX, Supra, RX-7 and such

Actually no, there was an article with the Mitsubishi rep saying that re-engineering the Colt for WRC cost too much so for now, they are staying with the Lancer for next year at least.
