New to EvoM

Well since I am making my first post, I figure I'd introduce myself first. My name is Travis, I'm in the USAF stationed in Colorado Springs. I own a Thunder Grey 2004 Lancer ES.

Now my actual question is strange... I plan on modding my car some, I have an idea of what I want to achieve. The hard part for me is the look. I have seen some body kits that I like, not sure if I have seen them all though. I love the ones on Accolade... Something like what I am interested in is the 2006 front, with the new grille, plus a lip kit. Are there any other body kit solutions I may have missed, or should I try to find a stock 06 bumper and grille, then get a lip kit? I have looked through all of the vendor forums, but let me know if you guys know of any sites I may have missed, or possibly one that has a good price on an 06 front bumper.

Thanks!

Roadracemotorsports.com has some options. Might not hurt to poke around and see if you like their stuff.

If you are looking for something subtle, you are going in the right direction. The 06 front is the one with a full grill and no mitsu emblem splitter right? I've seen that and like it too. RRM has a lip that comes in carbon fiber and fiberglass. Accolade also has a lip. I'd say check them both out, you can't go wrong.

Yes, the 06 has a different grille without the "Evo 8" splitter piece, it looks more like the Evo 9. Anyone know where I can get a stock 06 bumper?

Oh yeah, the 04 and 06 do have a little difference in them. You could always go to a body shop and have them cut that center grill piece out for you. Someone here did it themselves and it came out pretty good. Just patch up the hole and smooth it out and paint.
