Well I just ordered a new OEM IX front bumper and SE lip along with all of the mesh grills. Question I have now is what hardware do I need to buy? Is there a list out there that has all of the parts needed to get and mount a new bumper and lip?

 

I bought a new 8 bumper from chapman mitsubishi and it came with all the hardware needed.

 

700 for the bumper and the lip 1100 for all the little nick nacks and braces to make it work. The socal evo forums had a thread on all the parts needed. I just did this last month.
Worst part is before you could buy painted parts but now they all come in WW and you need to repaint.

 

Extra 600 bucks? I know you need the mesh but what else did you get that made it so expensive?

 

There are a bunch of misc parts if you want to do it right... screws and braces that you need to hold the mesh in place, supports etc. I have the list somewhere since I put a IX bumper together after I sold my VIII bumper last year. I'll see if I can find it if you want but I know it's posted in here already somewhere.
