EVO 8 & 9 Front Bumpers Interchangeable?
Hi Guys,

Are 8 and 9 Front bumpers covers interchangeable?

I have a EVO 9 but I have always preferred the 8 front bumper with the addition of the Do-Luck lip.

I'm curious if it is an easy straight forward swap of the bumper cover or if anything else needs to be changed?
