I have always liked the the VIII front end better, so that one gets my vote.

^^LOL! 8 gets my vote because it looks more aggressive and mean.

I have never seen a 8 with no nose, it looks good but I like the 9 more. I vote for the 9!

This is the fact, EVO VIII bumper does have more agreesive look, better aerodynamic, IX bumper is more subtle, look at the flow line on the side of evoVIII bumper you will see.

Most people w/ evo ix like their IX bumper, IX bumper does have better more lip choices than EVO 8.

How come none of you mention that EVO VIII bumper has bigger opening for the front mount intercooler? on my EVO VIII I can see the end tank w/ my wide tank ETS intercooler, but if one put the same intercooler on a IX bumper, you will not get the same exposure evo VIII bumper gets.

Can you put the mesh grill from the IX with the emblem on the 8 chopped bumper to complete the look?

I'm a fan of the VIII bumper. If I purchased a IX, i'd definitely switch back to an VIII front.

Someone did this once, but I can't seem to find the picture. Looks great! Anyone got the pictures?
