the evo 8 front bumper is the peak of sexy automotive design and creativity, anything changed on future models will only degrade what they have accomplished

so... yes, i hate the new one

I like the evo 9 bumper much more....its not as rounded as the evo 8 and has better lines. I love how it comes to a point in the middle also. Also, no more queer pontiac triangle . If the holes can be used for brake ducts, that would be f-in awesome.

Drop the Evo IX down an inch or two and it will look better. I'm probably going to buy one in BLACK

comparing the evo 9 to the evo 8. side to side in any angle. the evo 8 is fugly, not just ugly. ill take the evo 9 anyday. the evo 8 has that pontiac wannabe grill. it almost looks like the Pontiac Vibe. now the evo 9 is a sexier looking beast.

LOL. You guys crack me up. I'm sure those holes are not there just for cosmetics. The Evo is in BAD need of brake ducting: the brakes absolutely fall apart on the track from overheating so badly. Those holes look like the openings to brake ducts to me...and if that's the case then I'm 100% for it.

For the record, I still think the Evo 7 front and rear fascia is MUCH better looking than the 8 or 9.
