Hey guys.
So I am able to get my P's in a month and I was planning on buying an ES Sport (Brand New). I want to know if I can get an Evo X spoiler, an Evo X hood, an Evo X lip which I think is the front of the car and an Evo X exhaust.
Will these parts fit on an ES Sport?
As you can tell I don't know much about cars so i appreciate any advice

That's some shopping list and plenty of threads here on the topic. But basically you'll need EVO style parts as the EVO is slightly wider than the other Lancers so some parts will not fit off an EVO.
You'll be looking at a price tag in the $1000s.

Alright thanks for that, helps a lot!!
When you say Evo style parts, what do you mean?
And I know the price will be quite a lot but i have been saving for a while now

They are often refereed to as EVO X style parts, they are made to fit the other CJ Lancers and look like the stock EVO parts. Just make sure it's for the Lancer you have and not the EVO X.
Of course there are loads of options
like this rear bumper.

Avoid carmate and Bodykitskingdom.
Double check that these parts can fit NA Lancers

Yeah I was gonna add that not all of them fit 100%, so if you are handy or know a good body shop that can help paint and fit them.

Evo X hood and rear wing will fit straight away. Bumper parts won't fit as the X bumpers are wider.
As for the exhaust, why you want to put X exhaust on a Lancer? Want more than one tail pipe or what? If you are looking for sound, that is not the exhaust you want, it's so quiet. Pipe diameter is bigger, but rear muffler is restrictive, so I would not say that it will give you any noticeable performance.

Can't speak for the opening post but I for one would like an EVO style rear bumper and pipes more for the look than any practical reason like more power, and of course the sound depends largely on the muffler used.
Interestingly the guy I'm getting to fix the holes in my exhaust said it could be cheaper to buy something bolt on from the axle back point than for him to make something up given the time needed to make it.
Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a new exhaust (not twin pipe) with a free flow muffler and will video the before and after to see if there is a difference in sound from the already after market muffler I have.

Alex each to their own, but with the money you would be spending (even on replica evo X parts, plus painting and shipping and fitment) you probably could\'ve afforded to buy a used evo X if the first place
Idk what state you\'re in so you might not be allowed a turbocharged vehicle on your P\'s, but if you have spare money after buying the car I\'d just save it until you buy your second car, and get a fast one then
Also, my first car was a 01 lancer with a full evo VI bodykit (I bought it like that) and I must\'ve hit 100 curbs with it in the time I had it, the bumper was thrashed

Yes that is the other thing, money on body kits is something you'll never recover, it won't add to the resale value and may in fact reduce it.
I agree if you want a fast CJ then save up and get a used EVO or RA in a few years.
