evo bonnet on an es

Postby GT » Sat Sep 13, 2014 9:00 pm

Can it be done? Will it fixed without modifying?

And would it look stupid? A few people have said it Will look fake and we'll there right but I can afford a real evo and I just love the look of the bonnet !!

RA & Evo bonnets are the same; I wouldn't do it, but if you like the look, go for it - it's your car! :-)

A genuine RA bonnet is going to be hard to find - keep scouring eBay and GumTree...

I have had a look online there are a few available. There pretty expensive even for the ebay non genuine ones...

Not sure if it's worth the $$$ I can just imagine that most people who know the difference Will mock it lol.. I have only had the car around a month or so and I have been asked sooo many times how fast or what year model is your "evo". I have never corrected them... also had this chick say I think your WRX is hot...just smiled and keep filling it up.

Just do it, who cares what people think. It's made to fit the car so why would it look stupid?

Yeah, you get the looks of a RA without the added running costs or insurance :)

Anything that gets some decent weight out of the Lancer is a good thing - they really DO go harder when lighter.
