You need new mesh grills, emblem, air duct for the oil cooler, also the lip and tow hook covers are sold separately. When you get the bumper, its just a plain bumper no attachment pieces included.

 

I did it. And I didn't even have to lift a finger:

I am sort of confused So you can use the existing evo 8 crash bar with the evo 9 front bumper?

thanks

 

I did.

 

i wasn't able to, with out modifying it, and i haven't had the time to do that yet

 

you know I really didnt like the IX front, until I saw it next to a VIII then realized that the IX front looks much better. As for me though I am kind of fond of the C-West front with a huge intercooler to boot.

 

Does anyone know if the crash beam can remain (or maybe purchasing a IX crash beam?) with a IX bumper on an VIII? I just damaged my bumper over the weekend and I'm considering replacing it with a IX bumper. Thanks.

 

Hey man... decided to go to the darkside huh?

I disagree with the comment about the evo 9 front being more aggressive... haha... I mean.. have you looked at the evo 8 front?? It's a pissed off samurai!!!

btw... mykrrrr.. a friend changed out his evo 8 bumper with the evo 9 and it looked pretty good. He did it after getting into an accident. pm dadriva and ask him about.
