    just need few stuff minor adjustments done to add support and paint
    Yes the foam bar was removed, crash beam stayed for safty reasons

    have to do some more prep workm gonna find some1 to make 2 z type brackets for underneath to attach to rear bumper from the crash beam where the foam bar used to be..
    next step is to paint the kit but first im gonna start selling the old rear bumper and misc parts from my lancer to raise $$$ to paint the bumper, evo8 wing and trunk...

    I like. I like! The front of your car looks like a volkwagon gti. That's what I see anyway. It looks really good. I like the rear bumper as well. Where did you get the grilled from?

    I REALLY like the head lights. Where did you get them from? Like what you did with the bumper too. Looks really good.

    thx.. the headlights are jdm cedia's.... they are dual beams so you would with have to a] splice into the oem harness or b] make your own that plugs into the oem.. i made my own harness.... the front turned out better than i thought it did using satin black on the lip turned out good.... i prolly wont have enough for a full/real paint job untill i have the car paid for but in mean time i will prolly follow this guys route http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgbxMYGaLlE&feature=related
