ha yep! then i forgot i had a dentist appointment ugh!
well the power was on when i got home so i ko'ed the New project...
EvoX strut tower bar direct fit? NO.
But with a grinder i opened the inside of the 2 outside mounting holes, 10 second fix, then i had to waller out the 2 inside holes on each side, this took some time cause i did not have a bit bigger than the holes. i opened up the inside of those holes maybe a mm or 2 at most, and it fit perfect! took about 10 minutes of going back n forth to get it just right.
I took the time to grind off and smooth the center mounting bracket cause it was just floating out there.
It kinda looks stock n sets right on top of the Greedy intake box too.
the only down side is the if you have to fill your brake fluid you have to remove the whole thing.
I think its well worth it n only was $40.00 best upgrade for the $$$ so far.
Now get to modding!

EVO X stock strut tower bar

here is the strut tower bar fitted to the Outlander!
Sits perfectly atop the intake box, but you can see it does block the power brake refill cap.
Oh well price to play right?
Well worth it!
Happy Modding!

4g69 throttle body. RA intake snorkel mounted to stock location(removed plastic cover so you can see where the snorkel tube routes) Takeda intake. 9g Lancer strut bar. I would definitely go with, "it feels more stiff." Doesn't block the cap like the bar on Travisty's. Bar fit without any modifications. Just removed the black metal ring on both strut towers and then mounted.

Park lights are actually same as HID color but look blue with iPhone camera. These replace the amber lights. I'm not a fan of amber park lights.

I hate amber on taillights. These make it more clean in the rear. Debadge also cleans up the rear. Lights look different colors of red in the pic but its just the lighting and angle. All are the same color in real life.

Had the ugly "look at me" red reflectors painted to match car. Bottom piece of bumper painted black to give the vehicle a bit more sporty look with the added addition of the slightly larger exhaust tip which matches the contour of the cut out in the bumper.

Last exterior mod is the stubby 3.5" antenna. Couldn't do the horse jockey whip antenna any longer. Sorry for pic whoring but mods on this thing are few and far between. Figured I'd give the couple dozen of us that owns one of these things a little hope. Can't get outdoor pics of whole car yet. Ft. Drum weather isn't exactly playing nice. Keeping car clean is impossible. Eventually will get outdoor pics

You have prices on the TB Snorkel and the strut tower bar? and location for ordering the snorkel? how much bigger is the snorkel?
