You could contact Shark Racing or Accolade and see if they have any left from when they used to sell them.

Import trenz is working on a front end kit that would make the lancer look like an evo 7. It will consist of the front bumper and hood...grill is part of the bumper, meaning you have to buy the two together. I think it will be ready by August.

I concurr Carmate makes the best looking, most accurate and best fitted kit for the Lancer. I think someone on the boards ordered one, try doing a search for carmate or a post called "weird or odd body kit" theres a pic on there.

I've put off a body kit until I've seen VIS Racings kit for the Lancer and then I'll decide between VIS and Carmate. But if you want to look like an Evo 7, Carmate is definetly the one to go with.

you guys are the best, i really appreciate all the info. and i did check carmate. and their kit looked fantastic. problem is, the shipping is more than the kit. odd. now i just have to figure out how to convert things to us dollars. keep any new info posted and other websites you guys come across, and as always i will do the same.

True shipping is more than the kit but honestly look at your options:

Accolade - Yuck!!!!!!

Shark Racing - Somewhat similar to Accolade and same kit styles

Kaminari - Not really my thing, but others like it.

Kenstyle (from Japan) - Expensive kit AND Shipping, and then all you have is the real Ken Style kit that every other lancer owner is going to think its an Accolade

RMR Front Lip - Not really a kit, and won't really make your car look like an Evo 7

Import Trendz - Never heard of them

VIS Racing - Wicked version of the Evo 8 hood, but thats not a 7, so it'd look weird having an 8 hood on a 7 kit. I heard a rumor that they are making a kit for the Lancer, but it might be just a Evo 6 kit from they're Mirage modified for the Lancer.

Personally I think the Carmate kit is your best bet unless you're willing to wait a few months to see what else is available. True shipping is more than the kit but the fitament and quality looks superlative. Find the guy that ordered one and see if he has it yet. He's the Guinea pig right now, I'm waiting on his comments before I order mine.

there was a post on here a week or 2 ago about the carmate kit and there was a vendor trying to work out a group buy or something to reduce the shipping. also I believe that shipping is for air travel, and by sea would be a lot cheaper
