The only thing about the 8 that I hate is that triangle that everyone else hates that the mitsu emblem sits on...which I guess would be the e7 front bumper, and I still say all it needs is to be painted...it's not a super car...it's a sedan that can compete with super cars

And by girly looking I meant something I can see girls driving a bit more than the 8...which would make the IX's boys

I could've sworn I saw an image of a IX with fog lights in those holes.

Is the rear wiper optional on the MR in Europe? That gray one is missing the wiper and the vortex generator.

I second that! If the mounting points match up I will more than likely grab a IX rear bumper, built in diffuser is niceness. As far as the missing vortex generator on the MR pictured above I have read somewhere that the European and British vehicle safety regulations do not allow the vehicles to be sold with this accessory due to it being prone to flying off at speed. If I remember correctly it was someone from Europe or the UK on this forum that said that.

I enjoy the rear bumper. Everything is so nice on it! It recalls my past memories of my fantasy for the VII, oh.. How I love this 9.

I read somewhere that they'll put lights in the holes on the bottom of the front bumper.

If they paint the diffuser on the rear, then it's a

The front bumper looks like ***...I HATE the holes especially, with or without fog lights!!! The only thing that I like on the front is the "floating" like the VII.

Yeah, the holes are there to draw attention to the Evo IX, generating endless conversations on internet automotive forums, and preparing the market for huge markups so enthusiasts can own the mystery holes (which undoubtedly improve lap times).

I suspect there is a fog lamp in there.
As you can see from changing tones of the image, you see mixed levels of colours, and all in the same pattern, which could imply a low-lighted reflection of somesort.


1, 3, a bit of 4, and 5 shows the same tone pattern.
