I actually like it...it gets rid of the worst part of the Evo 8 front bumper...the bottom half.

Great for cooling the front intercooler and great for protecting the bottom of the car from dust and water intrusion but really bad for going over parking lot ramps. I can see that bumper getting scratch or crack easily. Other than that I think it looks nice..

TOPMIX in hong kong... there is a few posts on here with products that they made for cars

It all started when someone here posted a pic of a bumper like this... and wanted to know who made it... So I saw it liked it and kept asking and searching...

One member gave me a link to a evo club in Hong Kong, and I emailed the club leader to see if he can help. he gave me the owners personal cell phone number (the owner didnt like that)

I called TOPMIX, but they seemed hesitant with the sale...

So I contacted a one of my Evo-ny brothers from Hong kong to see what he can do...

The next day TOPMIX called me back and took my order...

I asked if I could rep them in the U.S, but it looked like they changed their mind (so I wont be running any of their stickers)...

So to make a long story short

The price for the bumper is ??????

about $550 plus shipping (for the wrong bumper so I dont have the price on this one)



-I paid for the bumper to be shipped by air (mucho dinero) came in 4 days

-We worked out deals, because they sent the wrong bumper the first time

- I paid all import fees,custom fees, trucking in the U.S fees

I like it, and wanted to be a little different since there is only about 2 other cars i heard of in the U.S running this bumper!

So I payed to be a little different

thanks for the positive and negative comments

Just tacked it on with 4 fasteners to check fitment.... I'll give it a 9 out of 10 for fitment

It isnt all the way bolted on... I sill have to put on the oil cooler guide and brake guides that came with it.

It has a little gap under the headlights, but it has mounting tabs...once I snap everything together... I will see if the gap closes some

sent you pm

the best bet is to email them on their page... they have page where you fill out a "request info" form

Like i stated earlier... I was going to run their decals, but it seems like Ive been dropped.

I think it was to much hastle for them to ship and to deal with one customer at a time all the way in the U.S

Good Luck

and stand by for some pics SOON
