IX or VIII front bumper? wich one ?

Well i have a IX and i also have VIII bumper in my garage.. but i cant deside wich front end i should use...

this is what i want to do, cut the middle out and buy CF front splitter from rexpeed but its really expensive for me becouse the shippin price is high..

i have an VIII but currently rolling with a IX bumper with CF SE Lip. personally i think the VIII bumper looks much more aggressive with a lip and a hacked off nose. the IX bumper however gives the evo a newer more bolder look.

i had an VIII bumper with a doluck lip. never got around to hacking off the nose but i have been contemplating it the last few weeks.

you can't go wrong with either of them. both are equally gorgeous.

IX with the diamond removes gets my vote. The VIII looks 1000 times better with the nose chopped off but the IX still looks edgier and all around better in my opinion.
