Front Bumper Opinions

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what you all think would contribute to a more aggressive-look to my car. I have an '05 MR (stock bumper with a Do Luck replica CF lip), but have been looking at pics of the Wicked White Evo IX front bumper and how awesome it looks as well. I thought I'd construct a poll and get your opinions to help me arrive at a conclusion.

Here's a pic of my car

Evo IX (for comparison)

Yeah I have to say that TB IX front bumper will look great on your car. The IX looks sweet in black!

Thanks for the input everyone! I thought I'd post some pics to give a visual comparison, though I'm sure it was unneccessary... but anyway, I did.

I guess im the minority here, I like the look of the 8's bumper compared to the 9. Yours looks pretty damn good with the lip. Only you can decide what you want tho
edit:just voted saw more voted for the 8

I agree with lilnaz. I think those two holes in the bumper look stupid.

The VIII also allows for a larger intercooler upgrade than the nine's. Someone actually measured the openings once and the VIII was at least a couple inches larger, it could have even been more. So if you are planning to upgrade stay VIII.

Evo 8 with the lip looks hot!

The 9 front end isn't that glamorous to change.
