Where can I get the cheapest parts?

So apparently i need 15 posts to comment in the classifieds. This was the first question that came to mind. Evo 8/9 headlights for example, where can i get them for around $300 a pair? I looked everywhere i could think of but cheapest ones i found were like $800. I searched this site, ebay, some of craigslist. Any more ideas? I need a front bumper, headlights, drivers fender, hood, radiator, intercooler, airbags, and some other minor parts.

You can still pm folks, so if you see something of interest in the classified section just pm the seller.

Good Luck

Good luck with that. i could be totally wrong but i dont' think you can find it for that cheap, especially for a pair.

have you tried searching some junk/salvage yards?

Even TAE in Florida charges about $300 per headlight and they're a salvage yard with by far the best pricing I've ever seen. For $300 for a set? Better start praying for an amazing deal to pop up. Good luck op.

I did buy a pair, in the classified section here, of head lights that were mint for $450 with free shipping but those were hid ones that were missing the ballasts and connectors and everything. They were just the shells so to speak for $450. I guess if you keep looking you'll find something

$300 / headlight is likely the cheapest price you'll find

Thanks for all the tips guys. Yeah I was coming close to realizing that $300 for a pair is also unlikely, but then i found a site which sell headlights for $100-$250 each! But it's still odd that evo x new headlights cost $300 for a new pair, but ours normally cost $600 for a pair. Anyways thanks again guys, you are a very nice forum considering that this is my first post. I expected you guys to be cocky, but you proved me wrong. and EvoDriver49 thanks for that site, wouldn't have found it without you bro.

FYI there aren't any aftermarket evo headlights that these forums know of for 8/9's, so dont get your hopes up

anything listed as evo is likely lancer headlights or 08+ headlights

The guys selling them sent me pictures. They are evo viii/ix headlights alright. Thanks for the heads up though.
