if you change the front bumper of the evo 8 to the evo 7's bumper, i think you'll have to change the hood too. b/c the lines on the hood wouldn't match up to the grill.

thats is if the bumper fits. which i think it will.

i dont know. might as well do the rear bumper too. the evo 7 bumpers are lighter anyways. isn't it why the evo 8 weighs more?

 

It's the steel beam behind the bumper that weighs a lot. You might have to hack off the beam to get the 7 bumper to work.

 

i'd like to see how it would look, but oh no i'm not touching my precious.

 

hacking off the beam wouldn't be smart though
you crash and it's

I just wouldn't do it IMHO

 

Id rather add more power to overcome the weight and drive a safer car. "Even if you spin out into the dirt and lose the race and your sponsership at least you live to race another day."

 

I believe that removing the foam piece from the bumper should allow the EVO 7 bumper to be put on, that piece protrudes rather far. Or maybe the JDM bumper beams will help? Jut my thoughts....

 

I would imagine that EVO 7 bumper kits will become available once the EVO 8 hits the streets. As will Ver 7 headlights, taillights, hoods, etc (I would imagine)... PLUS, version 1-6 body kits and whatnot. The EVO should have a massive amount of aftermarket upgrades.

However, I could be wrong...
