Tha bumper looks good, except the fact that the duraflex material seem to be quite unbreakable... which can result in damaging the interior of the car as oppose to the bumper itself. It's suppose to absorb the shock by collapsing, not redirecting it to the interior. That's my two cents on duraflex... don't know how wrong or right is. But since I'm not planning to crash my car, it should be a good bumper

Thanks for the link. I'll ask them how the fit is going to be and report back here.

Is it possible to get the EVO OEM bumper and the fenders to replace with the ralliart? Would that cause fitting issues? Would it look weird/ugly/out of proportion with the front fenders looking wider than the back ones?

^ In the link I provided, the guy is running the OEM Evo X front bumper with the stock RA fenders. No worrying about the Evo fenders being wider then the rears; everything sits flush. It does require a little bit of extra work, but it ends out being a cheaper route and looks better IMO.

lol, I was thinking the same...
It shows a regular lancer with EVO front bumper and the sides are connected with ziptights. Guessing it would be the same with ralliart. I think they're using ziptights to pull the bumper in so it becomes flush with the fenders. But for convenience sake, here they are...

I actually found OEM front bumper and fenders from a friend of a friend's evo that wants to sell his (for a good price) and change them to a different looking ones. So that's why I'm asking if it would be a better option for me to change front bumper and fenders or not. If anyone knows, let me know

Didn't realize it was an inconvenience, perhaps my intention was to get you to join a site where you might actually learn a few things as did I. Not bashing this forum by any means, but we are kinda lagging it. Anyhow, I guess some people just want everything done for them

Here's a few pics explaining the frying pan method. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese.

I'm surprised no one has made an evo replica front bumper that is made for a normal lancer (not wide)
