I think the Accolade R1 FB's are the best cus they still retain most of the OEM shape but still look aftermarket. BTW there's a group buy going on right now. Check it out:

Evo7 front bumper fits the Evo8, but you probably need the EVO7's bumper beam, and hood to have a perfect match.

If you run the VII bumper there are many lip spoilers to choice from including a few CF ones. Cheapest route would be look for a used VII bumper from a junkyard and have it sent over and painted.

I would love to get a nice carbon fiber chin lip.... Hell I would even take a simple chin lip made out of urethan and then I could color match it.....

WHY ARE THE CURRENT ONES SO MUCH MONEY????

No one like the Veilside chin lip????

Why would anyone pay $680 for a CF lip. I wish I had money to throw out the window.

I love the Evo 7 front so much more.

For now C West front bumper all the way.

We sell it (as well as Varis pieces) but it's made out of fiberglass.
