seriously if you cant tell the difference between an evo and a base lancer you shouldnt be talking about cars in the first place. people already ask me "is it an evo?" already! i just tell them no and be on my way. if they want to argue about it, which is stupid, then so be it. i love the look of the evo but im "stuck" with the GTS, so so what if i just get the bumper and if it happens to look like an evo, great. but im not about to tell everyone i have an evo or start racing it.

You dont "have to" race them.
That way you lose no grace.

it's all about what ever floats your boat... even if you think it's as big as one.

same thing on the '08 wrx/sti. dang near identical except for price
It's called "saving money." If you can make two cars that are alike, you save money. So now doesn't have to design 2 different bodies and 2 different interiors, etc.

Also, your Evo is still considered a higher trim level of the Lancer. Don't forget that. You own a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII. NOT a Mitsubishi Evolution.

sorry to burst your bubble but the evolution panels from every generation evolution 1-10 all fit the base model lancers. Again as explained mitsu, honda, nissan, subaru, toyota does this to save money and keep costs down.
