EVO X Bodykit Options
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 10:52 pm
Hey guys,
I'm looking at purchasing a CJ Lancer, but would really like to turn it into an EVO X look alike. I'm on my P's so can't really touch a turbo, but absolutely love the look of the EVO. Currently looking at two things, that I would like some advice on.
The Full Kit:
- Front Bumper
- Rear Bumper
- Side Skirts
- Front Fenders (air ducts)
- Complete Hood With Vents
- Rear Fenders
- Rear Door Fittings
- Exhaust
- Spoiler
Smaller Kit:
- Front Bumper
- Rear Bumper
- Side Skirts
- Stick on front fender ducts
- Complete Hood With Vents
- Exhaust
- Spoiler
Both kits would suit me fine, and I am open to both. Bodykit Kingdom is where I will most likely be sourcing from as I live kinda close to them, and they offer both.
The only issue I have with the full kit is, the rear fender (quarter panel) and door fittings, if you take a look at the photo below, you will know what I mean, the fuel filler cap really throws me off. But I also know these are needed to create more width in the body, and achieve a better stance for the car.
(cant insert image, post fails to load due to server issues, referring to Accolade Wide Kit)
Now if I opt to go with the smaller kit, as in no wider fenders, I am worried that it will not look as good as what the full kit would, with the extra width, making it more EVO like. Would hate to put time and money into this for a product I wasn't happy with in the end, or that didn't look the part.
I guess it all comes down to whether I can live with the rear of the car of the full kit, and the fuel cap issue. Money isn't really an issue as the difference in price is only a couple of hundred dollars.
Can anyone offer up opinion, experience, photos anything that could possibly help me decide the debacle
Cheers
