you know the jdm/euro evo 8 rear bumper is almost the same as the evo 7's rear bumper. wing is pretty easy, they sell everywhere. there is this one site who sells carbonfiber evo 7 wing. u might try searching for that.

the JDM rear bumpers are shorter than the USDM ones. they dont have the reinforcement bar.

I would tend to agree whats the point of spending all the money or going to the trouble to make it look like an older version? Evo 7 and 8 are very similar anyway

i grew to love the look of the 8, the 7 looks too boxy now... but maybe it's cuz we're soo used to seeing the 8

I am sure you already knew this... but the EVO VII is more than just a body kit difference from the US VIII!

Your post says that you are not getting an MR "cuz once its out, the evo 8's price shud drop." So your idea of beating this is buying a Evo VIII and throwing a body kit on it, changing the badging and calling it an Evo VII. I hope you enjoy your new Evo VIII.2 LOL Just kidding, but please don't tell me you are buying an Evo, or any new car for that matter thesedays, escpecially a perfomance car because you are worried about resale value! No matter what new car you buy, you just lost money immediately, and IMHO if you are worried about resale value, buy a used Toyota truck or Jeep Wrangler. Please don't take this as a flame, I just don't understand some so-called Evo enthusiasts.
