im just wondering and this has prolly been talked about many times but if you got evo8 front fender/headlights/hood/front bumper, is it possible to make an evo 8 front end conversion??

if its not possible please explain why.

 

There is a guy outthere who does a full conversion (its not really worth it). Dont know any of his info, that what I hear though. You would probleby be best going with an Evo 7 conversion though (closer to the OZ) there is kits availale or if you want do what I would do if I had the money....Buy a kit for the evo 7 (I really like the Veil Side kits myself) and mould it to fit your car.

Hope that helps

PS the 8 is possible but how deep are your pockets?

and the price of an Evo8 is cheaper then the full conversion.

 

I agree with Danno. It is probably much cheaper to just by an Evo outright. Besides, it could prove fatal to dress up a Lancer to look like an Evo...for me anyway. It would be like a sheep in wolf's clothing. You might have Vettes, Vipers, or the like thinking your an Evo, race you, and blow you away. Well that may be a bit extreme, they could just me Accords or Galants.

 

Moving to Show and Shine. Please try to post in the most specific forum possible.

 

import trenz has two kits for you. one is the evo 7 front end conversion version 1 which requires the reinforcement bar to be removed. and the soon to be released version 2 which is more extreme with a fatter longer lip and doesnt require any modifications to safety regulations. the version 1 however is more suttle if you are not trying to attract attention. the version 2 is hella hot though...but thats my taste...all show and shine..the version 1 is more of a practical everyday beater don't look at me too much kinda kit.

check it out: www.importtrenz.com

 

this is a dumb question i know, but where do you go to see the version 2 kit? i can't find it on the page.

 

There is only two companies that you can go to:

1. Accolade - look for the Techsport design www.body-kit.com

2. Like Babyboba29 just said, Import Trenz is coming out with Evo 7 Ver.2 Kit (not yet in the market) www.importtrenz.com

 

this has been asked so many times before.

i dont see why its not possible..little cutting, welding, sheet metal and body filler and im sure its possible....minitruckers do it all the time. i saw a 96 s-10 with the new colorado headlights/grill/bumper combo. looked pretty nice.

also 9 out of 10 people agree making ur lancer look like an evo...is just as bad as the civic rsx conversion..lol but why would u want to? i think the 7 looks better than the 8. maybe u dont though so...who knows, good luck with it though

 

the version 2 is in production and not yet released. give import trenz another 2 weeks and it will be the market....and on my car. muahahah!!! just to describe it....has anyone seen that yellow lancer from taiwan with the evo 7 kit> it has white rims, black headlights..anyways...if you have, the kit pretty much looks that aggressive...maybe even more.

 

making ur lancer look like a evo 7 is just as bad as making it look like an 8. their both fast cars. I just havent seen anybody who has tried to do a evo 8 front end conversion. why wouldnt the fenders/headlights/front bumper and hood be a direct oem fit??

 

The hood latch for one would be different..our grill is attached to the hood, the 8 isn't..

But anyhoo...the only thing i would be interested in the 8 would be modifying a Gialla front end to fit... Still thinking of it...
