hey, a while ago i got in a little accedent and need to replace my front bumper. i have an 05 evo VIII and i want to put on the evo IX bumper. the repair shop was trying to tell me that this would cost me 3 grand because i need new "headlights" which i know is ludacris so i just need a list of every single piece and bracket that i would need to convert my evo VIII front into an evo IX front. if someone who has done this before could give me a list i would like that.

 

search......


or go to mitsu parts counter

 

Isn't it direct bolt on?

 

+1 i thought so too

 

thats what i thought it was and i have done a search and cant find anything about it so i just need a guy who has done it to provide a list of all of the parts he had to get. i heard that you need a lot of little brackets and such plus a new spoiler or something. so if you can help please post!

 

i have a 9 bumper on mine, bolts right up, i paid about 800.00 shipped but i cant remember which company on here had it. o yea it came painted but make sure you get the lip. Some companys on here dont include the lip. None of them come with the grills, those are seperate and are about 220.00 from mitsu.

 

so what i will need to buy would be a lip of my choice and the grills?

 

PM Vishnuevo8, he did an VIII to IX front end swap when his front end was hit by a fedex truck. He should have the info you need.

 

im wondering if the 8 will fit the 9? i want to put the 8 front bumper on the 9.... would that be no problem? is that just a bolt on?

 

bump

 

We have sold a few IX front bumpers and I can tell you this, for VIII to convert to IX, you would need the following (the very basic conversion w/ a lil DIY).

1) IX front bumper
2) IX front bumper lower lip
3) IX lower bumper cover (small cover that allows you to reach to lower ic elbow)
4) IX front bumper grill and retainer
5) Mitsubishi Tri-star emblem.

Complete kit including every single bolts, screws, and misc pieces will cost you on-ward around $1700 or so from Mitsubishi dealer.

Now the DIY, the VIII front bumper's lower grills and such can be fitted onto IX front bumper (lower portion only).

 

whats DYI and plz shime me in if the 8 bumper would fit on my evo ix with no problems... i will be trading my ix bumper if the 8 fits no problem....

 

do it yourself

 

damn, wish you were GG, i'd trade with some cash in a heartbeat!
