I totally agree with you. I love the 9 headlights, they look sick.. But the front bumper is

The funny thing is, I remember before the 9 was for sale EVERYONE hated the front. Then everybody found out you could make crazy power with those things, and the 9 didn't look so ugly anymore

i still think its ugly.

i don't like it. i think the 8's looks better... the intercooler opening is sized for the stock ic which means some of the larger aftermarket coolers would be blocked, left and right, by the bumper cover. plus the geh scorkle things that do nothing... you can't even use the snorkle openings for brake air intakes because of ic piping.

Don't make me come down there and kick your a$$


The 8's bumper looks too much like a pontiac sunbird I think the 9's bumper is way more aggressive - same with the wheels; I had to replace the VIII's wheels immediately. Now that I just installed my Ohlins, the IX's wheels look hot in the lower stance!

imo the 9 and 7 front bumpers look better than the 8.... I'd trade my 8 bumper for a 9 bumper in a heart beat.

I hate the VIII bumper cover. Any of you IX guys that want to trade for a black VIII nose PM me, because I'm in like flynn! I'd even consider springing to repaint my VIII one for you to bring it to showroom condition, seriously.
