With those bumpers on the car, I think it looks like it already has aftermarket parts on it with the holes in the front looking like a gialla bumper and the diffusers in the back. I love that black part on the rear bumper with the fins. People say it should be painted body color but a lot of cars have that black part there (C6, F430) so I think it fits perfectly. If I end up getting a IX, I will def. be keeping stock body parts. Throw on a varis lip and some canards and you got yourself a helluva looker.

evo 9 looks a lot better imo, because it doesnt haev that ugly nose w/ the mitsu emblem in it. Im not really keen on the ducting holes, but at least they are functional. I'd take the 9 bumper over the 8 anyday. With the new evo 9 rear, that one is a no brainer....the diffuser is sweet.

Considering the current Evo rear bumper is like a parachute at high speeds... I would say that this thing is definitely functional.

my thought at first was to super cool the endtanks or atleast the hose area thus providing the engine overall cooler air than the evo8.

The Gialla and Varis bumpers all have a similar design.

On the stock bumper, the ducts are "integrated" as part of the underside panel
this would creat lift, this can't be......

Here's another picture that MachV had from that show. Holes or not, this bumper looks pretty sick:



By the way, little off topic, but anyone notice the lip on the rear spoiler? That's pretty sweet too:
