Dead Accurate Part List for EVO IX Front Bumper Conversion
Alright, since I just went to the Mitsubishi dealership today and purchased all the parts necessary to do the VIII to IX front bumper conversion, I figured I would do everyone a favor and post all the necessary part numbers from Mitsubishi. These part numbers are for the USDM front bumper that doesn't have those annoying holes punched through them like the JDM bumpers. Be aware that these come unpainted also... only JDM bumpers come painted from the factory. The only color available painted from the US is the White.
These are the part numbers for all the body pieces and mesh pieces you will need. All other parts are swappable from the VIII bumper to the best of my knowledge. I hear some people are swapping the lower meshes from the VIII with modification, but if you don't want to bother, then the part numbers are listed. Also, the upper center mesh is almost mandatory as it contains a bracket for the bumper to mount up to the bumper reinforcement, so I wouldn't forego that one. If something changes with the body shop, I'll update this post.
6400B002WA- Front Bumper Cover
6512A149WA- Lip Spoiler
6400B288- Additional part of the Lip Spoiler for the passenger side
6402A033- Upper Center Mesh (where badge goes)
6400A384- Lower Center Mesh (covers intercooler)
6400A390- Duct for Oil Cooler
6400A391XA- Cover for bolt on left side of intercooler
6400A392XA- Cover for bolt on right side of intercooler
6402A023- Lower Left Mesh
6402A024- Lower Right Mesh
All these pieces at list cost will run you around $1500.00, but if you can get the body shop pricing or a discount from some of our Mitsubishi Dealership vendors then it should run you around $1175.00 or so. That's it. Good luck for those who do it and if you have questions, feel free to ask away!
** UPDATED** There are a few other parts that will be necessary if you wish to complete the entire swap, such as undertray and all the necessary items that attach to the undertray. If you decide on the SE lip, there are additional parts that are necessary to match up to the undertray. I'll try to get those part numbers from the body shop or dealership if necessary.

so you mean to tell me you need all that extra ****, just to change the front bumper? i figured it would be just a quick swap considering the body and everything is exactly the same.

If you want a bumper that has everything that an EVO IX from the factory has, then yeah... you need all the extra stuff. Otherwise you could just get a bumper cover for like $700, and no lip, no grills, and two bolts exposed.
