that kit is for the hyundai elantra. IMO it looks nothing like an evo nor do i think they are trying to make it look like an evo. Shark racing is just trying to appeal to the hyundai community. As for the symbol i got no clue y

sounds ricerish 2 me but i do think they are tryin 2 make it look a lil bit like an evo, if u look on sharkracing.com they even got a JEM Motorsports Evo Kit, wonder what it looks like, prolly got the dinner plate lights , anyways tho, the sticker needs 2 go

also btw, is the rear fender flared out or is that just the reflection an all?

It appears to be flared. If you look toward the right side of the bumper it's a little easier to tell.

They used to used Mitsubishi engines. I'm fairly certain they started making their own when they revamped the company a couple years back.

I'll check into that one a little more.

I do believed that Both companies exchanged engine tech design; afterwards, we went to their own seperate paths.
