Accolade Evo IX Front pics.
Wow, is all I can say. This bumper is perfect. No scratches, extremely low price and they even sent me pics of it when it was ready to ship!
I think this bumper looks a lot better than I was expecting it to be. Its slightly lower than my front bumper which means it will match the stock skirts, unlike the Evo 8 one they did.
The finish is super-smooth, and last time my mitsubishi dealer commented on how easy it was to paint the rear bumper as it was in great condition.
Anyhow, I'm giving it to Mitsu to paint tonight, so It will be on the car next week.
For those of you who hate Evo-replica bumpers, then this isnt really for you. However I hate my stock bumper (but didnt want a body-kit style front) and this really is a nice bumper.
The beauty of Evo IX replica bumpers is they look OEM on our car, and very few people ever ask if my car has a body kit, they just assume it came that way!
Anyhow here are some pics.
Thanks to Accolade for my second A+ looking product. Hope I can fit it correctly to do justice to its looks!

It cost $350 I think.
I may try and install my fog lights somewhere. But the one of the reasons I bought this bumper was for when I go turbo, there is much better space for the intercooler. Not to mention the top grille which looks 1000 times better with the Evo IX badge and mesh.
The bumper is due to be finished on thursday at the paint shop.

I like it... it looks really good by itself...hopefully it will be lower enough to match the rear bumper..... their front always look good by itself...but always stupid when on because their front always stay HIGH?! Hope this one won't be like that......

Looks good. If that's a replica how does it work with our headlights since they're differen't than the IXs headlights?
Are the headlights only different from the hood and the side body panels?

Thats nice looking. Maybe its time to get a new FB. So Accolades products doesnt come in that yellow color thingy anymore? Are all of the FB in that flat black color or do you have to order a different version?

Looks great, I'm really interested to see how this looks installed...we're all cheering for you, Diavlo!
P.S. silver mesh + black car =
I did it to my RA...no worries about paint chipping off the mesh and not flashy at all.
