Looking to add more aggressive styling to EVO VIII

Hey guys im looking to make my EVO VIII a little more aggressive looking without getting a big gaudy looking body kit. I was thinking about the EVO IX front end and it looks expensive from a dealer so I was looking at vividracing.com at the APR evo IX style front end with integrated lip. It looks like a pretty good price and it says its a direct bolt on. Do you guys think I should go ahead with this? I just wanna make sure whatever I get fits really good.

Do you guys think a DAMD front bumper with stock sideskirts with cf splitters on them to keep the lines flowing from the front bumper which i think will hang lower will give me this look if i also add a JDM rear bumper?

UUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH the VIII is more aggressive than the IX hands down IMO...don't you guys agree??
If you said you wanted to go with a different or more mild look, I think the thread would have made more sense. I don't think you can get more aggressive or bold than a modified factory VIII


SEE!

VIII's look really good with a front lip, that's the way I would go.
