Does anyone know if the 2004 Lancer nose (bumper/fascia and hood) and rear bumber/deck lid would be a direct fit for the 2003 Lancer ES? I have an 03, but like the EVO-ish look of the front of the new car.

 

Probably, but you'd have to replace the whole front end at once...hood, bumper, etc.

Of course, those parts will cost you a lot of money from the dealer. You'd be better checking for an Evo style kit from Accolade or somewhere else.

 

i'm not sure. it might but you would probably need to get the fenders and just about everything else (except the roof and doors) to make it work though.

 

i myself have contemplated getting a 04 trunk and rear bumper. i like on the 04 how the license plate in on the trunk lid and not the bumper. doing the front end will be a very expensive task unless you know where to find an 04 thats been totaled from behind

 

haha i hate the 04's cuz the lic. plate is in the trunk, oh well, diff people have diff opinions.

anyways...any reason u want to do the front end etc? i could see the rear end cuz it doesnt stick out 15 feet from the trunk but other than that? u'd limit urself to only 04 body kits etc, which is only 1 i think...from accolade

 

The main reason I like the rear of the '04s is the "trimmed-down" look. Does anyone know how much wight a kit like this one:

would add to my car?

Also, how hard are kits to install?

I am getting the feeling that the Ken or the Apex kit are gonna be the way to go.
