Someday, I swear, I will learn how to tell the difference between an Evo VIII and an Evo IX without just looking at the grille. So far, that’s been my method — body color behind the Mitsubishi logo and it’s an VIII, otherwise it’s an IX — but that’s probably not incredibly useful when you start reaching the world of aftermarket bumpers.
Behind that front bumper, though, this Evo seems to be a very clean build. Some real overnight parts from Japan energy in the engine bay, with HKS and Greddy logos galore, and a big wing out back to cap it off. Team Emperor wishes they had this.
