New front bumper

I'm might have to replace my front bumper, but the stock VIII bumper at the dealer is like $718..

The stock evo IX bumper is like $795....

does anyone know a better place to get these outside the dealer? I haven't found anything good anywhere.

any thoughts on this kaminari one....

I like the IX, and I noticed that accolade made a replica, but I've read to much negative feedback to ever buy from them.

I haven't found a vendor that offers IX front bumpers other than accolade.

Those quotes above were unpainted.

I like the looks of the Evo VIII bumper best even though it's not the newest style. Those can be found for sale very reasonably priced on the forums all the time. IX stuff will cost more just because it is newest model so it's up to you if it's worth the extra $$.

way too much - feedback. I would try calling another dealer because that price seems way to high unless it came painted.

Yes in Wicked white or unpainted is all thats avail.

The IX bumper is $750+ another $200+ for all the grills and then the Front lip...so its well over $1200.

Trust me I got one from The dealer @ Dealer-to-dealer cost and I still spent $1000 and would have had to paint it Weightless.

I sold my IX bumper.

just get another used VIII bumper and re-use your stock grills and save some money
