Just confirm that your trying to fit the Lancer front bar to an EL?
It'll scertainly be something different.

it would be different yet...but not sure how it will look. Isn't the EL wider then the Laser?

I guess you can give it a shot...if it isn't long enough, just cut it in half and make pieces out of fibreglass to extend it to make it fit.

Surprising this fits. Could look alright, bar doesn't look too rice for a rice car. $10 U can't go wrong anyway, chuck up a pick if u do it. Could be cool or a huge lol.

The Lancer bar has potential.

Not "potential" as in a mature looking 15yo, moreso "potential" in the case of a chemical burns victim making a full recovery after countless skin grafts & plastic surgery to rival Michael Jackson's.

A mate here has a EA with a wrx front bar. Looks like a bit of an abortion though its an improvement compared to the standard.

If the WRX bar didnt stick out the front so far it would look nicer.
