Body Kit makers check this out!

What is the deal with all the fugly, expensive, low quality, and hard to get body kits for the usdm lancer??!?! The best thing ive seen so far is the RMR Lips. Everything else ruins the cars sleek sexy look. Manufacturers need to look at body kits like this one for the evo 7 to get their ideas.

If anyone finds some GOOD body kits for the lancer (USDM or Evo)please post them here. No more accolade crap please.

It would not be hard at all. Just cut off the grill piece and attach it to the hood and attach the rest to the bumper.

Damn, I'm tempted to start chopping my grill and hood apart to make it look like that! I wish it was easier than that though. Now I'm thinking of getting a hood off a wrecked Lancer and see what I can come up with.

im not saying that we lancer owners should buy a kit like this and rip it apart, im saying that the kit manufacturer can make a look like this for our cars my making the bumper and grill a two piece set. These forums prove that there is a market for it if if was there.

i hate to be the only person, but i don't like that look at all. what i would like to see is an evo III body kit for the lancer with the big round fog lights... something i can use that doesn't make the car look so much like a riced out civic.

i think putting any pre-evo 7 body kit on a us lancer is just wrong. The lancer evo 7 was based on our car. Evos 1-6 are different cars with different styles. Those bodykits clash too much.
