Air Diversion Panel Question

I was looking into buying the Greddy Air Diversion Panel for My 03 Lancer just for style mostly. I know that the Lancers supports the use of Radiators for EVO VIIIs,
so will the Air Diversion Panel made for EVOs fit for our Cars?

i mean i wouldn't see why it wouldn't work. I would think some pieces wouldn't fit though, but hey trying wouldn't hurt. Its about 60-70 dollars and you could return it.

Thats what I was thinking. If worse comes to worse and the fitting is pretty close, then I could just augment it a little (like drill a hole or something for screws). I'll probably order it on Friday and post a pic later for anyone who might want to get one.

It won't even come close to fitting. See the difference between the two radiator supports on the Lancer and Evo:

Because of the grill on the 02-03 being on the hood, it would prolly match up better on the 04+ Lancer

+1. IIRC, the Ralliart air diversion panels that were available would fit all Evos and 04 and up Lancers.

Wait...how do you know which of those panels is right? They have the years all wrong and I can't really tell by looking at them if any will fit the 02-03 lancer. The years they list have different grill and mean different fitment.

Thats what throws me off when it says that it'll fit 03 Lancers.

But yeah, based on the Pictures, it'll be most tricky/near-damn impossible to fit one on an 03 Lancer, especially because of the grill being on the hood.

yeah kinda noticed that too, but i'm sure they just made a mistake. And as you can tell the picture is just a stock photo and the one you will be getting will fit your car.

But they list it fitting lancer years 02-07, 99-04, 02-04...The fact that they are es, ls, and oz don't matter and they only have one part number that they say fits all lancers, including evos. I'd be worried about that.
