New front end

[AAwesomeGuy]

If I was looking for a new front end cause I never really liked the grille of my 02 VRX what would be your suggestions?
Probably won't get a new one but I want to see if it would be actually worth it.

Currently the front end of my car.

or an evo 7 front or something?

That links for a ch not cg

Paint is chrome. I don't know if it will actually look good. Infact, just painting it another colour might be suffice.

he has a CG lancer, CH kits wont fit

i personally love the CG vrx lancers as is, i convinced my mate to buy one and he loves it (im pretty jelly of it too)
doesnt the bonnet on the CG also double as the shroud for the front grill? if thats the case, then a new front grill option would be limited

just note for that front bar, you MUST get an aftermarket bonnet as a stock bonnet and that front bar will NOT work together

Oh wow that actually looks pretty mad, I probably won't be getting a new one 400$ish plus a new bonnet. As I said I don't mind my current one not willing to spend that much money yet Thanks anyways guys

this is what ian did. probably a better/cheaper option if you're only after changing the grille.

ralliart grille:

this is my cg vrx that started off like yours.

if you look for the front bar on carmate you will find more pics of my car.

Why would you dig those pics up?? I don't think I've ever recovered from that afternoon.


Yes this is the ONLY option worth doing for CGs. These are actually OEM parts from Japan from their Ralliart Cedia, and rare as fk here in Australia. Direct bolt on, and proper plastic parts, not cheap n nasty fibreglass rip offs ala carmate bodykits. Parts themselves are relatively cheap, when you consider they're a factory item. I did the grille first and it completely transforms the front end of your car and looks a million times better. Also another benefit of getting this one is that they come painted in the factory colours. I did the front bumper as well from the same car later on, which is also cheap but postage is something you'll want to be sitting down for.

Here is the link to the grille - PLEASE get this if you're going to get any swap:
