Finally a Yellow EVO with EVO9 Front end
I got the bumper from a guy in socal that got it fron HB mitsubishi. It came off an evo that was being used in Fast n Furoius 3. I paid $1100 total with labor and painting for what you see in the pics. One part that is missing is the circular tow hook cover a $8.31 part that comes in yellow 
that I am getting from Hunnington Beach Mitsubishi. Another problem is that mounting bracket that is used for 9 won't fit on the 8 so the body shop used the 8 mounting bracket and bent it slightly so it fits in between the front grill mesh. Also I have an 03 with intercooler spray and the 8 front end has to locations for spray but on the 9 there is only one place to mount so I lost one of the spray for the IC.
The final plan is it to put in Tow hook cover than put on JDM yellow rear bumper on from Gruppe S. Since I am sponsored by Dunlop and I have to attend a few shows so I plan to get CT-9A JDM plate for the rear and a 4G-63 for the front.
I will have my friend Photgrapher friend Randi aka Kingsky takes pictures of my car with his Cannon SLR once the car is complete with JDM rear bumper and JDM plates.

I paid $700 for the complete bumper which was silver. You can only get bumper in white or unpainted from
. When you buy the bumper you don't get all the mesh grill pieces (4 pieces that cost over $200), the emblem and the front plate 
I paided $300 to have body shop take the bumper apart then paint it. Plus I paided them $100 to take of my 8 bumper and modify my 9 bumper to evo8 bracket so that it fits. They spent over 3 hours doing this.
If this becomes a flame war over how much paid I will delete the pics.
