thank you for the site.
but they have only weightless white.. so I need to have paint job again
IX is wicked white.

oh and another thing, Do you think it damaged on my wheel balance?
I drove around the parking lot to check if anything wrong with the engine and to see if my handling is shaking,
If wheel is unbalanced then it will shake the steering wheel right? I hope nothing wrong with it. =/

My undertray is off too, and no problems....... Good luck and be careful next time.

Search through local clubs, many people should have their VIII bumpers. A lot upgrade to IX

jinhaing, first off, is the pipe from your intercooler actually flattened as it appears?
2. I broke the same exact chunk of my undertray off, get a used one from a member. sure people don't use 'em but it'll help for next time {rally}
3. get a IX SE lip and get that scratch on the front repaired by body shop-400Max

I'm soooo fraustrated because my car is only 4months old.....
I want to know What kind of front bumper should I get.
If there is no disparity price between Stock front bumper and aftermarket then I think I will order aftermarket that matchs with IX.
Do I need to get a front diffuser?

please help... You guys can tell me anything you want.. I know that I was an Idiot at that time.
(not perfect in english)


(EDIT 1/19)
I got few pictures now.


Under the front bumper.

Do you guys think I should change intercooler and whole front bumper, I hope not.
and I'm not going to use insurance so... I hope I can find parts for cheap.
please HELP.

are those stock advan? and you drive in SNOW with them?

wow that looks pretty bad.. but repairable nontheless...

contact local dealership.. a geniune mitsubishi evo ix front bumper w/ lower lip will run you about $700 (without the mesh grills, emblems and misc hardware). But im sure you can salvage from your existing ones.

that undertray is pretty much destroyed...

or another option is get an aftermarket front bumper, ie voltex or c-west.. but they hang a lot lower than stock and probably get destroyed pretyt fast too

good luck!
