EVO X Bodykit Options

[callumogrady]

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

You just missed out on a group buy, but this is the best Evo X kit for lancers I've seen...

Another bloody EVO wannabe, it's people like you that cause everyone to think any modified lancer is an EVO wannabe. You are going to look like a goose driving a thevo (fake Evo).

If you must act like a wannabe I would stay away from Accolade it is a Fibre glass kit that fits about as well as a small t-shirt on me (yes I am fat). No doubt you will be wanting to dump the car so the only option is a plastic kit like that bought in the Fake EVO Group Buy. I happen to know an Australian company that sells the plastic front, rear and side kit plus the spoiler. Send Ben at http://www.customstreetfx.com.au/ an email he is based on the gold cost.

Remember my friend the cover band always looks older, fatter and ugly than the real thing .

Aw snap, oh well not looking to buy right at this instant. Thanks for the link.

I wanna be a wannabe just due to the fact that I can't touch a turbo based car anyway. And I think the Evo X look is amazing, but I know its a touchy subject for some. I dare say I might be a bit cranky if I owned an evo myself aha. Thanks for you link I will get in touch with him also.

Decided not to go with the accolade kit, just dosen't look clean to me.

Probably going to snap up a base model ES for the following:
- Hood
- Front and Rear Bumpers
- Spoiler
- Fender vents
- VRX sides?

Anyone have an idea of the best evo front/back.
BodykitsKingdom does a front, but it just dosen't look that right to me?
