Building my evo from scratch

Are these cheap and do these parts look good? Thanks. This is all from ebay.

Back Bumper: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...2F251302249471

Rims: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...9e%26vxp%3Dmtr

And lastly the muffler: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...fe%26vxp%3Dmtr

Those volk rims are very nice rims. The price is correct with legitimate volks so good luck. With that back bumper if you buy it please let me know how the figment is I want something exactly like this for my Evo and I'm curious how it will be.
In regards to the exhaust don't waste your money. Just buy a real exhaust system and spend the extra money. Do not! Cheap out on parts for this car.

This is Evo X general. Anyway, that rear bumper is for a 7/8/9. Assuming you drive an Evo X, it won't fit. That 'exhaust' is just the muffler section, so it needs to be welded. I'd pass on the exhaust and buy something with superior quality, especially if you're willing to spend almost $3K for TE's. Don't cheap out on the exhaust.

So you have $3K for wheels, but your exhaust budget is $40? You may want to rethink this.

People have made that style of diffuser fit the X pretty well. Raytrix had it on his a few years back and I think it was lhtuning that sells them for the X

I refuse to click links to eBay when it comes to modifying a car.

I thought ht was referring to the JDM bumper for the 7-9

Even so, the rear diffuser for the 7-9 won't fit the X, right?

Its actually the 7-9 version that lhtuning sells but it does require very minor mods, probably just bending the brackets to mount it at the proper height.

Are the Volks different on eBay? Lol

If I spent 3 grand on wheels I would only have 40$ left for a muffler as well.
