Evo IX Front Bumper Conversion

I went to Mitsu Parts today to get a price quote on the Evo IX front bumper. Here is the price quote they gave me:

MIT6400A384 - Center Net $102.75
MIT6400B002WA - Front Bumper $729.35
MIT6402A023 - Side Front Net $44.99
MIT6402A024 - Side Net $44.99
MIT6402A033 - Bumper Support $107.96
MIT6512A045WA - Bumper Lip $263.65
MIT????????? - Front Emblem $28.41

$1322.10 + $109.07 (Tax) = $1431.17

Anybody order from the dealer yet? How much did you pay? Are these the only parts that are required? Does the bumper come painted? Can i reuse the Bumper Support ($107.96)?

Do you really need to replace the bumper beam? Id give Gruppe-s a call. They've been doing alot of group buys on the IX rear bumper. I'd imagine they could get you the front bumper for cheaper than the dealer.

I wonder if we can custom all those goodies expect for the bumper and lip.

Thats a lot of money. I would rather wait around for a little bit and see if people start putting on aftermarket bumpers and then buy the used bumper for cheaper.

i've heard that people said that you only need a front bumper and a little bit more modification.

its not actually just for looks, i heard its better at cooling due to an updated design. Screw Mitsu are u crazy?!? An authentic Gialla front end isnt close to that price.

Do yourself a favor and wait for one of the IX owners to switch to an after market bumper. You could probably spend less than half of that on a slightly used one. To much money IMHO for a new factory fascia. Its your money so I will butt out at this point. Good luck!

Not worth it, IMO. Aftermarket is better. As for the rear bumper... that is different.
