Help ID this Evo

what trim is this evo? most of the ix's i've seen doesn't have that rear bumper. i'm a canadian buyer looking into an ix and that's the exact colour and trim i want it in.

Looks like an RS and it has the JDM Evo 9 rear bumper. Looks like he also swapped the interior and taillights with an Evo 8. Also has an Evo 8 wing.

being that the door handles and mirrors are black then it means it's an rs, with aforementioned parts swapped out I'd be sceptical of the motor, the title says 2.4 but description says 2.0........

It's definitely an RS the vin proves it and its lacking ABS a pretty clear indication. Vin was decoded here.

wow, thanks for the info guys. not really caught up on the last gen evos. but seeing the prices of the X in Canada, the recently legalized in canada evo ix seems attractive. but you are all saying it's got evo 8 parts?

It's got the VIII seats, tail lights, wheels (I think), and wing. Why he swapped out all those parts, I don't understand, but whatever. I wouldn't get it, but it's awesome that they legalized the IX.

cant argue with the vin as long as it really is that vin, but it would make more sense if it were an 8 just with a ix front bumper....dont understand why anyone would want all of thhose 8 parts..imo everything he replaced with 8 parts were better on the ix...but to each his own i guess...like the others said though, i would steer clear of this one
