+1 on the bumper on the red EVO
Actually, if you do any road racing whatsoever, the standard rear bumper becomes a parachute at high speeds. Hence why Vishnu has designed their own diffuser for the current US bumper.

For those interested in getting a IX bumper from japan and want to import one yourself you might be able to save some money if you do it right.

The prices at the dealership in Japan is US$ 403 for the rear and 430 for the front. I will be shipping mine with someone who already has a container and will be sharing it with him so it will cost 40 bucks by boat. I think that is the easiest way to save on shipping cost if you.

That's a fantastic price. Unfortunately, shipping is probably a lot cheaper to Taiwan than it is to Cali, and even then, I have to ship from Cali all the way to the east coast... cool that you have an Evo in Taiwan, can't say I've ever seen any in all the years I visited my family there.

I really dont know the prices for the shipments to the US. Im just giving you guys an idea what they cost and the money you can save if you were to find your own sources of getting them imported. I could be wrong but I dont think a bumper wouldnt cost that much if it was being shipped to the US directly from japan, maybe 100, maybe cheaper if you get a couple of them in. If I were you guys I would find a couple of guys who wants the bumper and ship it together. This is just a thought. I would search online and find a cargo/forwarding company that import/export stuff from japan and US. It would be easier/cheaper if they have a agent/branch office in both countries, which im sure they do. Buy the parts in japan and have them pick it up for you or ship it to them locally. From there they should take care the rest of the documents and it should be a breeze from there on.

I just purchased some light bulbs(truck load) for my dad and I had my shipping company who also has a branch in the US to have them picked up at the store. I just pay the fees at the Taiwan branch. good luck
