Evo 8 front license plate bracket?
Hey guys, where can I get a front license plate bracket for my evo. I called the stealership and they are asking for $70 some bux. Are there any websites or shops where I can buy it for cheap, please let me know?

Dealership brackets look much nicer than what I've seen aftermarket.. They also work better and are built specifically for the evo's front end.

to be honest I was looking for one too, but In this Case what I learned is that you sometimes want to deal with Stealerships too lol. so just get it from them, so that way youll save yourself a lot of head ache . GL and let us know how it goes.

your right you can do that, I did the same thing but in his case its better to spend extra money but its gonna be a simple install and also he wont regret it if one day he decides to take it off .

Update, I just ordered the whole damn thing from mitsubishiparts.net. With Shipping it cost me about 65 bux and yes it is OEM. Not a bad deal. Now I need to look for a good place in San Diego to get it installed. I don't feel comfortable drilling holes in the bumper What do you guys think, how much the labor would run me?
