ok i found a pair of kits that i think would be perfect for my car but theres one slight problem. i believe its meant for the Lancer CE Coupe, which is what it says in the title of the kit. i.e.: NEW Lancer CE Coupe VERTEX kit!!! i was wondering if that model is the same as the mirage ls coupe, because it looks VERY much the same in the pics but just makin sure if i decide to buy it.

They should fit without too much modification, as far as I know the Ausi and USDM cars operate on the same chasis. Good luck getting one over here though. By the way, it's either Eurbani (sp?) or Extreme Dimensions make a pretty good looking kit for the mirage, not sure if it's for the sedan or coupe though. Check out Andy's Auto sprots, they have a good selection, and if it were me, I personally think the coupes look better with a lip, some rear pods, and the LS skirts. clean and simple

one more thing about the kits, cuz i realized it would cost 2 much to import . build...

do you know how and where i can get the headlights for the evo 5/6? i want to do a conversion like this guy but i dont know how to go about it. i guess its possible, but how come it says that these headlight are only for the 4dr and not the 2dr, did he have to reconfigure and rewire? and is it then possible to fit the 4dr evo 5 kit on there after doing some professional cutting/fitting?

That's actually a Super GT Widebody conversion. If you look carefully, you'll see that the coupes and sedans have differently shaped front ends. You can find some decent one-piece head lights on ebay, most are either projector headlights or halos, but there's some nice stuff out there. The thing is, the true Evo's were sedans, even the JDM, Ausie and Euro Lancer GSR's (1.8L DOHC turbo chargerd engine w/ AWD) were all sedans if memory serves correctly. So finding a true Evo IV/V/VI headlight would not be an option for you.

Here's a link to an ebay sale for a coupe version of the Super GT:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98-99-00-01-MIRAGE-2DR-SUPER-GT-FULL-BODY-KIT-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6755QQihZ008QQitemZ180009762300QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

I'm not sure how much I trust that company though, they're using a picture of my car for their Evo V body kit and I know I sure as hell didn't give em permission to

Just do a little searching around and you'll find something you like.

well its just exactly the point that i dont like the front end and the headlights it uses. i wanted to do an evo 5 conversion with the headlights too cuz the evo 5 kit with the stock lights IMO looks stupid. but ill just keep looking.
