I never said this was easy. I was just speaking in slight jest on how you never saw projectors on the '02-'03 Lancer model. To be honest with you... this could be an expensive job.
Oh yeah... to answer the questions you had about the type of projectors to use and whether or not you would need to do any glassing... you can use almost any projector you would like as long as it can fit, and if you're really careful and if your projector fits in the space that your headlight casing can provide you will not need to glass anything.
Anyway... back to topic!! I can't wait to see the products!!

try selling on here, there are more members, so your more likely to sell them.

Why do the EVO guys have all the toys!!! It would be nice to get a business up and running, but with work/family committments, I am not at the point where I can quit and start something from the ground up...
So what is it?... That one thing you've been looking for but cannot find... If we can get enough interest in one thing, we will have somewhere to start. So let me know...
Once I get some different requests, I will get a poll started and let it run for a week or two to see where we can start..
New Product Ideas!!!
- Engine Damper (Just waiting to get a damper in to fab brackets)
- Rear Disc Brakes (Will know more later today)
- Stock fitting downpipe for RRM header + stock manifold
- Canards
- Underbody Cooling Plate
- New Hoods/Body Kit - May be beyond our ability to mass produce
- Exhaust - Won't be too hard, Thinking of a mid pipe w/ several axle back options.
- Projectors - need more input on which type to go after
- Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Bored Throttle body
- 4 Gauge Copper Grounding KIT
Keep the ideas coming...
UPDATE!!!
Okay, so the damper is already in the works... Have gotten a quote on 10 dampers from Ingalls, and will know next week about the brackets and all... I have ordered one damper, and will use that one to fab the brackets...
The rear disc conversion is dependent on the compatibility of the eclipse rears... I have emailed RPW to ask what stock calipers they use but nothing yet... So we are pretty sure we can fabricate something using eclipse calipers... Should know more tomorrow... We will look into going into a basic kit, an upgraded kit with different rotors and calipers, and possibly a big brake kit... But this is gonna be pretty involved to do so, so we will most likely just use the basic kit until we can get some other projects off the road...
I am looking at getting a stock type downpipe made, but will have to play with diameters... I am sure 2" is big enough, may even be too big... So just have to test some out...

Ok, a lot to take in... But the hood prop is a fairly easy mod, but I think there are several other companies out there that already make on for the evo and ours, so making another really wouldnt be a benefit to us... But I will add it to the list, never hurts having a possibly cheaper costing product out there...
I will also add the CF Lip and the wing, but give me ideas..
