"genuine rota grids" well.... nobody is making a knockoff of Rota wheels, Rota is making knockoffs of everyone else's wheels

That rear bumper is for the MR? I didn't know that. I thought it was all IX's.

I'm pretty sure that bumper came standard on all Japanese Evo's.

To the OP, you've got a pretty good start. Now install those parts and let's see some progress.

Is that a jdm rep bumper?

The rear JDM bumper came on all Evo 9 JDMs... The 8s including the MR had the normal USDM bumper...

As for the wheels.. Who cares if its a knock-off... I have yet to see a wheel brand that can take as much abuse as the rotas I own. Pot holes, bumps, off-road, you name it.... My rotas withstood it all.

Arent Rotas usually heavier than what they copied? For instance, Volk TE37 are lighter and stronger than the Rota copycats. Oh wait nvm, there may be people who dont care for performance.

I found rotor grids to be quite light

what rear bumper is the one you have on now? is that a JDM 8 bumper? cuz its different from the other evo 8's i seen

Yeah. He has a EDM/JDM 7 and 8 rear bumper.

OP your car is going to look superb when everything is installed! Can't wait to see the finish product.

BC Racing isn't bad, little too bouncy for my taste (at any damper setting) but in Wisconsin they don't last more than 2-years. I burned through two sets in 3-4 years, the salt from the roads rotted them so bad.. so so bad. They basically flaked apart. I went back to OEM suspension with lowering springs, lesson learned.

That's a jdm bumper and the tail lights look better. I have a pair as well, but I doubt people are trying to steal your precious MR title.

OP, I like your mods. If I wasn't power hungry I would like to do what you are. Nice choice of parts and rim color.
