Fender Flares for 08+ Lancers?

Does anyone know if there are any fender flare kits for the 08+ body style Lancer yet? I have a GTS and tried searching but didn't have any luck. I am looking for something similar to the EVO VI flares. I love the body kit on the VI.

Its called a widebody kit, generally you have to get much wider wheels/tires for them too look right. Sometimes you can just use longer wheel studs and get spacers to make your wheels site further toward the outside of the car. Extreme Dimensions has a widebody kit and so does accolade, but i do not suggest you buy anything from accolade. I've heard nothing but horror stories of people not getting their kits for a year+ after the purchase.

I've looked at the widebody kits from extreme dimensions and accolade, neither look very good in my opinion. The extreme dimensions is a fake evo x and it is just hideous. Accolades is too smooth. Like I said in the original post. I am looking for fender flares similar to the evo vi. like in the picture. Neither kits you listed are similar in any way. Thanks for trying to help though. Can body shops make custom flares? I already have oem evo x wheels and tires and i'm not lookin to go really wide, just somethin subtle yk?

I will definitely stay away from Accolade though, that doesn't sound too encouraging.

You can buy universal fender flares on ebay, hope they are long enough and will fit to the shape of the cars body panels. Then pray they look good cause you had to rig them to get them to work. Most custom shops, which I'm sure there is one in your area somewhere will be able to make something like that. And if you got Extreme dimensions front and rear fender sections of the evo kit you could buy almost any evoX bumpers and side skirts for your own look. The rear fender sections are just a few pieces stuck onto the car. You can, and I would, have a body shop fill the seams so they look stock.

Or buy evoX aftermarket bumpers and sideskirts and have a shop custom mold the rear quarters to fit with the wider rear bumber. That may cost more though.

Yeah that's true. It looks like this would cost much more than I have to spend. If I had a lot of money and a daily driver besides this car I might do this haha
