No. There is no market for this. There are too many legal ramifications and too few buyers for any type of business model to work.

Just buy a Mirage and do a conversion yourself.

Exactly. The first question that should be asked, "Who is the costumer?"

I can come up with two types of people who would want this

A. The people that talk about how cool it would be but, don't have or never would pony up the dough to actually do it.
B. The one guy who can't figure out for the money he would put into it plus selling his lancer he could buy a used Evo.

Not exactly a market I'd want to go after.

this would actually be a halfways decent idea. But yeah even if you got the look down 100%, as soon as you start revving your engine then anybody who knows anything about the car will start laughing

He would have gotten extra bonus points if he had used a Mitsubishi "Jeep."

I'm pretty glad that there are "no customer reviews" on that amazon body kit.

But a 5 would be an awesome kit.
