Whats your guys opinion on the evo 8 front bumper for the US lancer. And if I were to buy it would I have to take off the front bumpr support. I ran a search first couldn't really find anything about it. Thanks

yea tofast.. that is actually an evo7 conversion i dunno why it says evo8.. like i said... ebay is mad shady... but it does look hella tight.. u should look into like ACCOLADE for their evo7 kit or Import trenz, which i think both for the kit including hood side skirts FB and RB should run you around 1g w/o paint and installation.. install is easy.. assuming that the parts fit correctly and painting should be your only concern.

first of all thats the evo7 front bumper offered by accolade....secondly my opinion would be to buy the whole kit at once through a gb or through accolades site, cause witthout the rest of the kit it just would not look that good.

I have that kit, and it makes the front of your lancer about 4" lower than it already is. Im dropped on progress springs and scrape going over just about everything. It is the Evo VII front bumper... and I wouldnt buy from them if my life depended on it. It looks REALLY stupid unless you get the entire kit

Thats not the Accolade bumper. It says its made of fiberglass and the accolade is made of PFRP.

Also if its made the same as the accolade one than you'll need a new hood also. I emailed them about that bumper a few weeks ago and the woman that answered was very vauge and basicaly told me to call their business.

If it's made like the accolade one, than no you won't have to remove you reinforcement bar.

I have seen OZs that just have the front end conversion and it looks great with the OZ sideskirts and rear lip. So if you have an OZ it would look fine.

I suggest you buy it and let us all know the quality because I'm really curious.
Hope this helps
