i think the mitsu kit is the only one that actually looks good. how much do they charge you for that kit if you buy a car at the same time (but the car doesn't currently have it)?

From what I was told the dealerships don't usually purchase the Evo's with the kit and when I got mine, it had everything i wanted except the aero kit. Plus they offered me a deal i couldnt pass up. The kit would be around $2000

I couldn't be happier with the car, especially since i went from an Evo 8 to a 167hp Mazda 6 and drove that for the past 2 years. It was not a fun jump, but now I got my lover back

The CS kit looks like a couple of extensions from the current stock non aero kit. I dont really like it and not sure its worth the price. I think you should do an aero kit.

My 2cents...
I've seen images of their CF VG installed and the fitment sucks...if it's any indication of how the rest of their things are made then I'd go with the OEM kit. I went with the UK OEM VG and I'm happy...I wouldn't have been happy with the Chargespeed VG

I'd go with the OEM Aero Kit over the Chargespeed kit. You can usually find aero parts in the for sale section too for significantly less than if you went to a dealer. Even if the parts are the wrong color you can have them painted and still come out ahead.

The OEM aero kit comes pre-painted is around $2000K if purchased through Mitsubishi

If you're not in a hurry maybe you could find an OEM aero kit from a wrecked car on e-bay or something? My car came with the OEM kit on already or I would be in the same situation.

The Chargespeed is a nice kit. It's like a mild version of the other aftermarket lip kits available.

OEM aero sideskirts are bulky and ugly.
