EVO KIT for the 7g

[Blue Ice]

<span style='color:blue'>I'm with Gir on the looks of the evo he posted.

As Far as the Difference between the first and second style of 7gen, i think there may be a solution to the problem of different grills.

The problem;
On the 94 the long metallic piece above the lights has the nose piece that dips down and the two small grill pieces screw into this nose piece and the bumper. On the 97/98 it looks like that piece just goes across the top, and the grill is molded on the bumper.

The solution ;............ maybe :puzzled1:
Basically, the front end kit has to come in two parts. The bumper could be one part, and the top( the grill and the piece that goes over the head lights ) could be a second. If we did it this way, maybe we could come up with some other type of grill, Like for a suggestion, the wider more open between the lights.

I noticed this when i cleared my corners. Or the later 7g's could buy that top piece from a junkyard... Don't know if this would actually work for the later 7g's, it was just a thought.</span>

Blue,
not a bad idea in theory, however, I think that leaving the gap that the T-bar makes (cross bar on 97-98's) allows people to get more creative, I got a kit on my 96 and i have the T bar, I cannot make a custom grill because i only have 2 small grills on each side, maybe u could get a 2 piece kit that includes a grill insert kinda like the ones the make for SHITVICS (Civics) that come premade...maybe toss a mitsu badge on there too, the T-bar would cost way too much for companies to produce, where where as a plastic grill can be made cheaply and available.....

<span style='color:blue'>This was just a suggestion, to those making a kit especially for us. Also thought it might be a solution to the problem we have between 94 and 98. I think it's going to be hard at first to get someone to make two seperate kits, exactly the same with just a small difference. Plus it would make it easier for us to come together on group buys on kits for our car.

Could someone test this theory of mine. Anyone who has access to 94's and 98's

Mitsuman, if this works one way it should, in theory, work the other way. I have a 94, and if we could find a t-bar with out the nose piece (97/98 t-bar), then we could see if that would fit to our car. And i'm thinkin junkyard for the cheap route. We'll have to paint the kit any way, so just have the new t-bar painted</span>

BLue,

The T-Bar IS interchangable if that is what your theory was, Kevin did a conversion froma 96 to a 97 galant, so just get a t bar and it will bolt up to your old mounting spots identically, it would even be better if u could find one already painted!!

<span style='color:blue'>Well thanks for clarifying that mitsuMan. I was just wondering cause some people were complaining kits having to fit their car, like trying to make the erebuni kit fit the 97/98's. I rather like my 94 look, it looks a little meaner than the 97

But any way now that that's clear, what are we going to do about this kit.i think Gir and i are in for the "big eyed" evo look. But who else is on board for this one</span>

I agree...that is why my 95 has a 97-98 front. I don't like the grill on the 94-96 7g's. I wouldn't mind so much if there was a open grill like the EVO and Skylines or even no grill like the 2g and 3g Eclipse. The 94-96 fronts are just way too busy...the assembly design is poor to me. I like the 97-98 fronts because:
1- A cleaner look and installing it is much easier.
2- Bigger mouth, makes the car look more aggressive.

If the 7g owners are patient enough...Denver, Me and Tony will get some made.

I know this is probably dead considering its umm 5 years old! but did they ever actually make a kit? was just wondering looking through the old posts and saw this
