C-west front vs. EVO IX front

I'm in need of a new front bumper, for my Tarmac Black Evo VIII. I'm torn between the C-west front or the EVO IX front. Your thoughts? It currently has the whole C-west body kit on it right now, but I'm planning on replacing the rear with a JDM rear most likely.

Your thoughts?

C-West, they look vicious with the right intercooler, plus it'll go with the rest of the kit.

I would go with the JDM front if you are going to put the JDM rear on.

The C-West front bumper is absolutely disgusting. There are very few aftermarket fronts that look good on Evo's IMO. OEM all the way.

Couldn't agree more!!! Cwest looks cheap.. Looks like a home-made bumper..

Go JDM with the rear, and put voltex at the front.. Otherwise, OEM is the best!!

Maybe I need to see one in person, but from all the pics I have seen the voltex front looks kind of big and ricey, not really my taste. I like my stuff to be sleek, yet slightly aggressive. The voltex just seems like overly big and all over the place.

Anyone have any pics of their cwest front ends on their evos?

keep rolling with the C-West. Those front bumpers are really clean for an aftermarket kit, and look super aggressive b/c they expose the whole intercooler.

I prefer the Cwest over the Voltex and the Evo9 Front.

Jesus. Stop being a ricer. Remove the Bodykit.

IX front or VIII front.
