    an evo x bumper wont fit the GTS because the evo is wider. if you're looking for the evo look then check the vendor listings.

    they dont fit WELL in the lancer but they do fit with a little bit of bending heating and some custom bracketery

    a heat gun is a real helper while doing this

    (did it last week at my dads garage no pictures tho :( ill try to get ahold of my buddy girlfriend sister next week for a picture)

    just let say you need a couple inches of angle iron,a lot's of self tapping screw to make a rig to hold the bumper if youre alone, heating and bending the fender mating joint inward and some hyper strenght automotive urethane adhesive.

    oh and time i installed everything in 3 hours but thats with shimming and bending little by little and andjusting the fenders (elongated bolts like on the mercedes amg fender pullout kit)

    ducktape tohold the thing in place while the adhesive sets and some binder straps also help (cure time on the urethane i used was 6 hours)

    so its a nine hour job if you count the drying time

    not worth it imo unless you get paid for it
