tilton evo 9 front end voltexWhile the Voltex front bumper looks similar to the factory Mitsubishi part with an added giant splitter and canards, it looks massively wider than stock in person. This front end in total is probably somewhere around 6″ wider (estimated) than a stock EVO.

tilton evo front diffuserThe Voltex front floor/splitter/diffuser/undertray has a considerable amount of features in it. It is mounted to the chassis by four pieces of aluminum channel and bolts. Naturally if the part is going to increase downforce, then it must be mounted to the chassis in such a way that it can transfer that force to the chassis. This entire front assembly is made from carbon fiber.
