Question on Voltex Bumpers

So, the voltex bumper look like they do something with the air or aerodynamics, that may help the car, like they push the air away or SOMETHING. ( also im a noob i dont even have my evo yet im prolly getting it this week ) but does it do anything that helps performance or handling? because if so i want it, but if not i dont.

Voltex does a very good job with aerodynamics and downforce for track duty. Very expensive though. If you're DD'ing your car then I would stay away from aero parts that add a lot of downforce. You will find out once you get your evo, just how lacking our cars are in the Fuel
Mpg department. Downforce parts will only make it worse and impracticle.

Don't waste your money unless it's gonna be a track car. A street car does not need any parts like that unless your going for that look

^lmao this has me rotflmmfao. Do you not know the voltex rear, well... is a jdm ix bumper? The only difference is the diffuser attached to it.

Op if you want the look but NOT the function or the price of "real" voltex stuff since the front bumper is like over a grand, look up togue factory they sell a knockoff for alot cheaper.
