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.

Why the hell is that open hood scoop on the left?!!!! I am desperately trying to figure this out but can't. Are ALL pics of this car/kit reversed? The air duct is on the driver's side. Anybody know. Any pics under the hood?

I am attaching the test that was done by C-West of their EVO VII bodykit on a JDM EVO VII versus the JDM EVO VII OEM kit.

I pulled this out of the Lancer Evolution #4 book volume 81 by Hyper Rev, that was published by NEWs PUBLISHING CO., INC. You can buy the book from www.japanparts.com under their books section.

I was not able to download the whole image that was scanned because of the size restrictions. If anybody can post the whole image I will send you the .bmp file. If anybody would like the whole article I can send that to you via e-mail, just PM me.

As you can see 3 out of the 4 tests are very comparable to one another, except for the air intake temperature which is reduced by 8 degrees celcius when using the C-West kit. Not only is it the best looking body kit, IMO, but it is helps performance as well.

Umm if you look at the cyber evo headlight closely, they made that headlight into a cold air feed by removing all the bulb housing in the headlight (thats why they look black) and cutting a hole in the headlight.

I don't think so. Look at the license plate, it would not make sense for them to move the oil cooler beneath the air intake. Here is another pic of an evo with that hood and bodykit:

I may be just mistaken, but this Gialla front end seems like it is just the stock front end with two oval holes cut into the lower lip....definitely looks awesome though...but that seems to be attributed to the supre low stance

Previous pics of the Gialla kit were the VII front bumper. Here is how the VIII front bumper looks. For pricing need a shipping location to send out price quotes for it.

Yes the PUMA car looks like the EVO 8 bumper with two holes cut in it, but the one that was posted by Sophis and MrMeaner has a bigger opening for the intercooler and it also doesn't have the bumper piece where the Mitsu emblem is.

More than likely the Gialla EVO 7 bumper will work with the car as it is based off of the CT9A chassis. You will have to remove the 5mph bumper supports for it to fit as it is made for the JDM, same with the EVO 8 bumper. I haven't seen the Gialla EVO 7 kit, but you will probably have to change the hood as well when you change the bumper because the EVO 8 hood comes to a point in the middle and the EVO 7 hood was flat accross the front.

Shahul if you have a picture of the Gialla EVO 7 kit, please post it

anyone know what the two holes at the bottom of the bumper of the Gialla kit are for ? do they duct somewhere for brake cooling ? intercooler cooling? it has to perform some function cause they have it on their race car, if its just weight savings its kinda ghey...dying to know tho.
