if it bolts up ur gonna need fenders, headlights, hood and bumper. but then the front will flare and the rear would just be stock looking... and u might need wider rims which might cause a problem with turning

but by all means do what u like. i just dont see the point of taking a stock lancer and trying to make it look like a stock evo unless u get an after market evo bumper.

technically there is not a frame as the car is built on a unibody chassis. The rails are made of stamped steel and are designed into the undercarriage.

I don't recall anyone tried it. Be our guess and let us know how it turns out.

I think the front can line up if you do the fenders, hood, headlights etc. but The back doesn't. I seem to remember someone else looking into this but not continuing because of the back issue.

Ughhh, no. Why not just pick a nice clean nonpretender kit designed to fit your car?

actually, I think it will also line up if you get the fenders, hood, headlights, and bumper. Not 100% sure but that's all that was changed I think....

I'm not arguing whether it will fit or not, I'm just saying what's the point? To spend all that money to turn one stock car into another stock car.

No.
