IX bumper. I beleive you may need to by the IX mesh inserts and crash beam as well to fit an Evo 8. Maybe someone else who did this conversion could chime in and verify that.

yeah u need to purchase all that stuff separetly. It gets pretty expensive. Plus u may even have to paint it to match your car. I think they only come in white/red. Someone does make an aftermarket one I believe though. FYI

If you are on a budget, aftermarket. If you want a nice sexy beast, IX all the way.

Whatever you do don't get a cheap fiberglass one if you do decide to go aftermarket. Get a polyurethane for sure. Fiberglass will crack and comes unfinished and is .
