Evo 8 hood/bumper on Evo 7?
Evo 8 hood/bumper on Evo 7?
Hello all
I'm new to this so if there's already a thread I am truly sorry and I'll do my best to make sense
Basically its like the title says, i can usually find info on stuff by myself but this one seemed to allude me
In my mind I should be able to put a hood and/or bumper from an 8 onto a 7 because its the same chassis/fenders/lights etc but I've heard whispers that sometimes the hood and bumper from a 7 conflicts with the bumper and hood from 8s
Thanks muchly for reading and for any help you can provide

I have a friend that did the evo 9 to evo 7 conversion. everything bolted right on--the only issue he had was the hood latch. he needed to do some cutting on his evo 9 hood latch. i'm not sure if your evo 7 hood latch would work with an evo 8/9 hood though. keep in mind that if you are ONLY changing out the hood or ONLY changing out the bumper, there will be a mismatch. the evo 8 hood/bumper is pointy while the evo 7 hood/bumper is flat. so if you are putting on an evo 8 hood while still keeping your evo 7 bumper, you would have a pointy hood with a flat bumper.


For the look to be clean you need the hood, hood latch, bumper and under tray. They'd all fit without the other parts, but it would not look right.
I assume you're getting this from a half-cut where everything else is present (license plate brackets, grilles, ducts, etc.)
