So, I got in an accident a few months ago and messed up my front end. I have always, ALWAYS hated the triangle thing on the Evo 8 bumper. It was a major design flaw. Made the car look ugly, and I don't want my car to look ugly.
Furthermore, I hate the little 2 intercooler holes on the Evo 9 front bumper, so I didn't want one of those either. So, in the end, I got the best of both worlds. I had Dean from All Auto Care in Santa Clarita meld the top of an Evo 9 bumper with the bottom of my Evo 8 bumper. I also installed Evo 9 headlights which I prefer over the Evo 8 units. And the rest, as they say, is history. Oh, and thanks to Alfred at TT for selling me an Evo 9 bumper for cheap :D
Oh, and don't say this looks like an Evo 8 nose chop because A) You'd be wrong and B) You need a new set of eyes. Enjoy:
If you want it done yourself, it's about $500 for the custom work. And Dean, the owner, is the man.
