I was wondering what the holes on the Evo 9 bumper do. I can see the functionality of every part from the left and right holes for the brakes, to the center hole for the intercooler, to the hole above the intercooler that cools the engine down, but I cannot figure out what those small dinky holes that are in front of the intercooler pipes.

Is it just for show or does it have some functionaliy?

 

seems like it is just for show, following the popularity of the gialla front.

 

foglights?

 

not foglights.. evo headlight has a built-in foglights already

 

cooling i heard

 

its to resemble the gialla bumper

 

Well, they are positioned where the plumbing enters and exits the endtanks of the intercooler; I don't know if the holes can really force enough air to cool the pipes, but none the less it seems interesting. They definately resemble the Gialla holes, but these seem just a wee bit more clean in their placement. I guess they're for show.

 

aerodynamics....

 

Well you can never go wrong with more fog lights. MORE! MORE! C'mon you've seen those rally cars with the ridiculous light setup in front.

 

gialla holes lookalike

 

Looks like something is back there:

 

its more than that.....

 

more than for show. dont you think mitsu would design a front bumper that does something? the holes are for a purpose

 

To catch small rodents and birds for supper....lol

 

yes, but serve a purpose
