evo ix front bumper (where to buy?)

ive been searching and searching for weeks now! i cant make up my mind whether to stick with the oem evo ix bumper with an aftermarket lip or go for an aftermarket bumper. ive talked to my local dealership and they want $700 for the bumper plus another $200 for the lip!? ive been seeing alot of the duraflex bumpers but im still worried about quality and fitment. could anyone give me any pointers as to where I could pick up a cheaper evo ix bumper that still allows me run a different lip? or a good site that has alot of options for quality aftermarket?

Mitsubishiparts.net talk to Russell.

IMO, stick with OEM. No fitment issues and retains the front crash beam.
Your only other option is to get high end aftermarket kits like Cwest, INGS+1, Voltex, and Varis. High quality kits with great fitment.

Definitely stick with OEM. Call up Brian at STM. He gives good prices on OEM mitsu parts.

For comparison purposes, our MR Edition front normally runs $265 but who pays retail anymore? We offer discounted pricing to EvoM members when they purchase directly through me. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

Also, here's a link to a thread containing fitment pics of all of the kits we offer for the Evo 8/9.
