Here's mine on a mustang dyno making 730whp.



Kind of looks mean with the headlights reflecting the flash. Hood isn't latched since we had a line to measure boost. Since then I've installed a new scratch free IX bumper and new SE lip, removed the emblem, and painted the lower Hella horn black.

having a 9 bumper on an 8 doesnt matter, having an 8 bumper on a 9 doesnt matter. an evo is an evo and the differences between 789 arent much. and thats the great thing about it is the ability to interchange the parts amoung the generations. but yes, nose chop is very popular along with the change to the 9 bumper
