    yea i was at my dealership looking athe X. He said the highlights are different from the regular lancers. but he wasn't too sure. I was also looking at the hood..he said the hood will most likely not fit because he said the headilght orientation is different. He said the X's headlight s are tilted in, unlike out straight headlights

    Some1 should make a ralliart lip kit. That rear lower half of the ralliart looks like it can be made into a lip kit where you just throw it ontop of our stock 1. Id love to get that because im not much into bodykits...

    the bumper looks really nice considering its an add-on...guess I'll wait for that instead of getting an evox bumper

    Wow, that sure is damn sexy looking on the RA. Question is though, is it like an option? Because when I went to the Chicago Autoshow the RA there didn't have those tail lights. (It also would of looked kinda out of place with the orange, but the orange color is nice by itself.)

    i think the taillight ‘covers’ on our lancers look reddish because there is so much red on the inside reflecting on the exterior lens…that’s just my guess.
    anyways, good luck
    take a lot of pictures - step by step!
    have fun and don’t rush

    oh sh!t….that really sucks!
    hopefully you only tested it on one of the four pieces so it won’t cost you as much
    i can’t believe the taillight deformed before the glue came loose!…geeze
    plan B sounds like a good plan
