It is an ebay bumper. OEM ones don't come unpainted.

i hear some of the replicas fit as well as OEM, search the show and shine. 250 + 200 to paint... not a bad option

I haven't seen one that fits like OEM and also you have to try to paint match the diffuser area as well I hear.

What would you guys think of running a set of 215/45/17s on MR BBS' for winter tires. They're Hankook I-Pikes, no damage or anything to sidewalls and no signs of patching.

This is one example of a great fitting replica, not saying they will all fit like this.... most likely it wont fit this nice:

It comes down to wanting to spend the money for OEM parts...

Its official: the blevo (Blue Evo) looks like total crap.

Back end: smashed into wall
Trunk: taking on water
Spoiler: smashed
Front: no lip, no undertrey, no brake ducting

But all bad things must come to an end (unless its the herp, that **** sticks with you like luggage). When the car comes out of the shop with a host of new and recently imported (from Nihon) parts will make their appearance, in addition to removing the 2-tone effect of carbon front lip on EB (which doesnt look so hot IMHO).

Aaron ran the 86 and made 559/387. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ex...pective-2.html I'm hoping with the Magnus and O2 dump & cold weather mod I can come close with the black.

thanks for the link! i was looking at the HTA3582r for a little quicker spool but I may just switch in a black since I wouldn't have to change any other supporting mods. Have you noticed a ton more of top end after swapping out the BBK?
