I honestly don't think they're worth it (the evo 9 jdm headlights I mean). Plus, I don't think the black part is dark enough.

^^^ Its the same darkness as the standard US 9 lights. I think the only major difference is the amber part being on the bottom. but yeah, it is not worth the money.

No, I'm talking about the difference between the JDM evo 8 MR and the JDM evo 9 MR headlights. I think the 8's look better since they are darker.

Thanks for the side-by-sides....nice compare and contrast between old and new. THe front bumper on the 9 is a vast improvement IMHO.

Out with the old, and in with the new


















This is at 10am in the morning today lol.

Got the MR from my man Leo at Wantagh Mitsubishi, who hooked me up with a great deal on the MR ($35,900 before taxes). Anyone looking to get a Mitsu, go see Leo, he's great to deal with.

The MR is sweet, the bilstein suspension is waaaayy better than I expected, and with the new seats (compared to my old leather recaro's), make for a very comfortable ride. The interior with the minor upgrades they've done for the IX, looks MUCH classier compared to the VIII's interior.

Power is nice, although I miss my TME turbo's instant spoolup.

The only things that bother me is that I miss my short throw shifter, it feels like im rowing a boat in the MR lol. Also, i keep forgetting that I have a sixth gear available now haha... Oh and I kinda miss my sunroof lol. But whatever, i LOVE the car!

Lol when I saw the dealership guy drive my evo 8 away to park it in the back, i got kinda sad, it was a sweet evo. But this one is all that and more

Anyways, Enjoy the pics


I'll have nicer pics up later on this week hopefully.
sick Naj! grats man

i second recommending leo at wantagh, he sold me my gg MR IX, great guy

I've heard of people paying $37k - $39k BEFORE taxes.

So as far as I'm concerned, i got a good deal hehe


Plus, since mitsu is not making a 2007 Evo, i hear dealerships will be charging more for the IX's that are left, till the Evo X comes out.
i hear that, i got mine for 36000 before taxes from leo
