IX carbon SE bumber lip
Was the carbon fiber lip stock on any evos? I am working with my insurance company and a local body shot to fix my front end and they can't find it. I was there when the body shop guy called the mitsu dealer and they couldn't even find an "SE" model.
Thanks for the help!

A carbon fiber front lip was not stock on any of the evo models to my knowledge. You can always contact Russell @ mitsubishiparts.net. He is on here and sells a ton of parts. He would be able to help no problem. His service is top notch! GL!

Ok. They are going to cover it either way. So now I just need to find some after market stuff to show them prices. Mine looks just like http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...=0&page=1#tabs so maybe they will shell out that much and I will just go back to stock.

My car currently has an evo 8 bumper and I was thinkking about changing it back to the 9. Are they direct swaps or do you need new clips and brackets and grills?

To do the swap the proper way I sell the following parts. I have had people buy just bumpers and grilles, only to call me a week later needing more stuff. So I always suggest just getting all the necessary parts the first time and not trying to make it work.

Holy crap there is a lot of parts in a bumper lol. After a long talk with the body shop and my insurance company my only option is keeping the evo 8 bumper for now. Someday I'm going to put the right bumper on but I just can't afford it now. Thanks for all the info guys. I will have to bookmark this thread so when I do this later I will have the info.

free to do what you want, but the lip is there for a reason. The smoothness/shape helps "cut" through the air and start guiding the various airstreams starting at the front and flowing around the car. The lower the lip, the less air is allowed to go under your car. Less air under the car = less lift =>more net downforce from all of the other aero components on the car

the oem parts are pretty expensive so you should go aftermarket and the shop should credit you any money that they dont spend (thats in the original estimate) and take it off your deductible. my deductible was a $1000 and i saved $700 for the total amount for parts so i ended up only paying $298 lol. i bought parts off socalevo.net and on here.
brand new hood vent - $298 got it for $60 off a member here. THANKS
brand new side mirrors - $245 each...got em off local forum for $60 bucks.
also credited me for not having to pay for painting the mirrors again since they were still good on the ones i brought in. lol
so with the extra money i was gonna buy some craftsquares but in the end id rather have $700 in my pocket than almost $700 side mirrors. lol
