Im looking at this evo and I cant seem to figure out the front of it. First, I cant tell what kind of lip is on it and secondly im not sure whatsup with the grill and intercooler area. Heres some pics help would be greatly appreciated. Btw its an 06

 

The FMIC is stock. The hood and the front clip say, 'Don't buy me."

 

thats a stock evo 9 intercooler it looks like. c west bumper

 

thw fmic is stock and the front bumper is c west or c west replica

 

Does it look fine to you guys? Clean carfax or would you stay away from it

 

Can you tell us more about the car? On looks alone, I'd pass.

 

Doesnt look like its going to matter at this point. Called the dealership they listed it up yesterday for 16995 (an obvious steal). Its only got 30K miles on it with 2 owners and a clean car fax. Apparently though its already been sold but the guy said hed call me if anything changes. When I called the guys asked where I was calling from becasue apprently theyve had calls from all over the country for the car. I found that funny, but thanks for the help anyways.

 

Here's why I said what I did. If you look at the hood where it meets the fenders, it doesn't really fit. The front clip looks like fiberglass that was either installed as a less expensive way to fix the car after an accident, or put on by a ricer who kept the stock FMIC even though the clip is meant to support a much larger model - ie. the very reason for its existence. Either way, this isn't good. You want to know why, read the forum, learn about the platform and you'll understand. Knowing it's a 2-owner with 30K that looks like this, one can almost guarantee that it was beat to ****. Look at the bright side. Whoever bought this car may have saved you thousands on top of the purchase price.

 

Thank you very much. Im always looking to learn when it comes to these cars.

 

it does not fit well because it is a c west replica and replicas are notorious for that. I myself would jump on it regardless of front bumper I can change it in a heartbeat and woila all problems solved I dont know about the guy who said hed pass just because of the bumper, that wouldnt be a factor.
