i dont know about you guys but I think this side profile looks like the old Vector super car, the last model they made.

what do you guys think?

This may seem weird, but I like the GTS body kit better. The front lip on the GTS is much meaner. The only thing I like is the center insert on the bumper underneath the grill with two holes in it. Do they offer the front bumper insert separately.

looks good i will get the evo x so i dont want a body kit that resembles the x but i think id would be cool for the gts and es to have the center insert cause it looks like a ram air n/a car.. but i dont think it looks as good as the x bumper cause the x has a larger bottom grill and smaller fog light holes. i think it looks bad with the smaller bottom and bigger fog openings. lol i can tell thats az by the pic prob live close to me.

The new lancers look way better than before, the gts actually ain't bad, but why try to make it look like an evo?

i love the evoX look. too bad im never going to get one, not for 40Gs. so why not just make it "look" like one. to me the GTS looks ok but its missing something...the evox front lol

Meh. The only thing that really interests me is getting the Evo X gray front bumper insert. But even then, I'll probably feel like a ricer.

I have already peeped this out with Rock and Mitsupwr as well.
I am thinking that the chrome insert should be removed and the front end of David Kelley pics are a little too bulky.

They do have a CF version where the center piece is in CF.
There are no pics of it tho.

I am a conservative guy, but I have had my shares of aggresive style kits and this one is a bit much for the car.
IMO

Alone, the front end is mean...but it doesn't look right from any other angle without the entire kit. Save your money for the entire kit.

Actually, I disagree now. After seeing those Photochops, I think I'll stick with the stock front bumper area... it just flows better.
