Evo9 Bumper

I just bought a Evo8 but my front bumper is scratch up. I would like to replace it with an updated bumper like the Evo9

What is involed, new bumper, rebar, light and fender?

I did a search but I can't seem to find the right threads.

Can some shed some light on this please

TIA

I believe mostly just the front bumper with fog light look.... they sell them but you will need to buy a converter... I've heard it can be a pain but its been done

umm dude all you need is the front bumper and the mesh inserts if you want it to look authentic, you don't need fenders or anything like that.
I recommend getting the bumper and at least all the mesh inserts and the reinforcement brackets that mount to the bumper but you can slap it on with just the bumper if you want but the 9 bumper won't work with the 8 crash beam.

Check out the G-Speed bumper, has similar fog light look and will be cheaper (not to mention easier to install).

How much did that cost you?

If its that much, I might just got with an aftermarket kit, but that updated bumper is prolly the best looking one around

Thanks
