I really don't like the body kit that the previous owner installed on my 8, does anyone have any suggestions where I can get the stock pieces to put it back to stock looking, or at least close? I have the stock WW hood, and am still considering putting it back on too.

Also, does the roof MR vortex generators actually make a differance, other than looks.

 

have you tried the marketplace? i dont think anyone sells stock side skirts. apr has an evo9 look alike bumper, you can always buy peoples stock usdm bumpers, they are always on sale since people switch to jdm rears.

vg are there to direct air to the spoiler, keeps the car straight at high speeds. i believe its only effective at high speeds. not city driving.

 

what he said about the VG ^^^ its worthless if you dont have a wing though

 

that is one ugly body kit, evos are best looking with the oem body IMHO

 

Rip that stuff off and sell it then purchase oem from the dealership.

 

I don't think I'll sell it because the front needs fiberglass repair, but I'll defiantly look at the 9 pieces, thanks

 

that looks like a c-west knock off front end. i actually got that bumper for free. i haven't put it on though. It has crazy fitment issues, one side fits and the other side has a huge gap under the headlight. its painted and everything. I didn't buy it but i sure as hell know why not to buy knockoff parts haha. you could find stock body parts pretty easy in the marketplace though. the evo hood is aluminum so it may actually be lighter then the hood you have on there now. so i would actually switch it out

 

that whole kit is the c west knockoff

 

C-West knockoff for sure...

 

I completely agree with an Evo looking its best when they are stock. Though i am not an Evo owner.... I look at Evos all the time dreaming of owning one.. good luck!

 

try and trade it with someone maybe someone will like it haha good luck with that though

 

Search forums for stock parts, your best bet is get any color and once it's all put together go ahead and re-spray the whole car.

 

try to find someone that's selling old bumpers/skirts. Trying to buy OEM is an option, but just letting you know, ****'s not cheap. Full front bumper (lip, mesh, and all the small bits) can cost about 1k OEM. I could always look at my insurance claim to tell you how much just the front bumper costs from dealer.
