I've been wanting to convert the front end of my 2003 Lancer ES to that of an Evo 8
I just wanted to know where i would have to get the parts like the fenders, front bumper, and headlights, this is my first project car so i don't mind spending money on it and plan on keeping it

 

The rear won't match so it'll look silly.

 

Yeah found a thread about it seems like to much work but thanks

 

the bodykit prob costs more than your es tbh :/

 

hey, I’m doing something similar with my 2007 es, assuming you mean the 4 door sedan the dimensions should be as is below:
Length: 4230 (mm)
Width: 1690 (mm)
Height: 1365 (mm)

and an evo 8 is
Length: 4490 - 4535 (mm)
Width: 1770 (mm)
Height: 1450 (mm)

the main factor here is how much more narrow your car is but what I’m trying to find out now in my forum thread about making my es into an evo is whether you can get someone cut a certain amount out the middle and plastic weld it so that it’s the width of your car.

People will straight up tell you not to do it because there are a lot of factors that go into it such as:
price
difficulty
the potential look of the car
price
Re-fitting pieces to work with the bumpers/pieces
how the car handles it
and price

but if it’s something you are genuinely interested in, commuted to and you see yourself driving it for a while then do it, just know that you’re going to be putting money into this and if you ditch it halfway through you will not get that money back.

someone on my thread mentioned a website called bulletproof automotive (credit to JDZNate)
and for carbon fibre / expensive parts there is Racing Product Group.

 

I'm sure he still cares, 9 years later.

 

that’s how long it will take me to save lmao
