Oh, I would go with the evo conversion. Even though I like the ken style look better, the evo coonversion has been growing on me.

Also keep the stock fenders, you dont want to over do it.

true. ill see how easy it would be to fix the fender. I may just end up keeping them. If I get the ken style I will paint the lip section black to it will look like a lip on the bottom like imajinfx did with his.

I would do the Ken Style. I don't like that Evo front bumper without the evo hood. My ipinion, but ken style looks pretty good

I would definitely say no on the extreme fenders, just seems too much on a lancer. As for a bumper, of the choices I'd go with the evo one since you have a hood and wing, but personally I think the cedia bumper or kaminari bumper would look better with the stock side skirts.

i agree on the cedia bumper but its to pricey. Im leaning towards not going with fenders the more i think about it cause im all for the clean look.

I love the blockiness of the ken style. If I paint the "lip" part of it black that will help hide the height difference between that and my skirts. since lip'd bumpers are lower usually. At first I was goin for the evo style cause its real clean lookin but ken style painted like imajins looks great? thoughts on this?

that SUCKS that you got your car messed up by a plow... they were screwing around plowing here, then they got stuck... then they didn't even plow my damned spot and i had to shovel it out myself!

too much meth!

anyway, if you were going evo VII conversion i believe that only the RRM bumper fits flush with the OZ sideskirts and bumper. someone correct me if i am wrong, but i'm almost %100 on that.

im not to worried about it fitting flush to skirts, somewhere close though. Plus, I need the bumper that works with stock hood. I believe only accolade makes that.
