I don't think its a fitment issue with the bumper, its just that the evo 8 hood front will stick over the bumper I belive... Not a really, really big deal, though it could look a bit wearid, and if someone leans on it, it could bend the front of the hood.

Ok, and so if I was to change the hood, then I would also have to change the fenders?

No I don't think so, It would mainly be the hood & Front Bumper only, nothing else should stick out/stick in.

This is how the 7 looks like....

The hood needs to be replaced coz the hood for the 8 hangs lower down.... near the lights... not much though.. maybe it'll fit... think the lights need to be changed too coz the 7's are a bit squarish... if i were u, i'd forget about it... get the gialla front or something.... really not worth the cost...

The price depends on the number of people who are interested on getting them.

If you want the real OEM from Japan, It's not possible to get it from US. You have to go through Japan and import(ship) it to here. and like i said, I already talked to Mitsubishi dealer at Japen(with my little knowledge of Japanese) and I got the price for everything. but unfortunetly, I lost that sheet and email. but what i remember from it was, price was crazy.

OEM evo7 hood = 700~800
OEM evo7 front bumper = 400~500
OEM evo7 rear bumper = 350~450
OEM evo7 radiator support = 250~350
OEM evo7 front bumper support(white peace) = 150~250
OEM evo7 rear bumper support = 150~250
OEM evo7 rearwing = 450~550
OEM evo7 tailights = 450~550
OEM evo7 headlights(non-HID) = 650~760

and I do not know about rear brake light. and shipping was around 500~600, from Japan to East coast USA. And takes about 1~2 monthes to get it. what my unserstanding is, if you get kit from US (Fiberglass, Urthane), its alot cheaper. but its up to you guyz though. I rather get Cweat kit or Kansai HKS kit from Japan rather spend same money on EVO 7 bumpers and wing. Anywayz, this was little info about REAL JDM parts pricing. you can also all them or email them. go to www.yahoo.co.jp, and type Mitsubishi. there is a phonenumber. I hope this info helped.
