Mitsubishi Lancer CE Coupe: Evo 8/9 Style Rear Bumper

MITSUBISHI LANCER CE COUPE EVO 8/9 STYLE REAR BUMPER

Bring the later Lancer Evolution look to the back of your CE Lancer Coupe with this Evo 8/9 style rear bumper. The Evo 8 and Evo 9 were never offered as a 2-door, so this bumper is made to suit the rear end of the 2-door CE coupe instead. It wraps fully around the rear corners with full side returns, and pairs a raised upper ledge with a recessed centre number plate panel and a lower diffuser section with four vertical fins. Manufactured by Monkey Warehouse in Brisbane using premium Hand Laid FRP, it is a rust-proof, lightweight and repairable alternative to the factory bumper.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This is a high quality aftermarket FRP product. To achieve a professional finish, the following steps are required, in this order:

• 1. Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the bumper to the vehicle first, before any sanding, priming, or painting.
• 2. Professional Adjustment: As with most FRP components, sanding, trimming, or minor drilling may be required to align the bumper correctly.
• 3. Preparation: Once fitment is confirmed, the bumper requires professional priming.
• 4. Paint: Supplied in a raw gel coat finish and painted last, to match your vehicle paint code.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which CE Lancer models does this fit?
This rear bumper suits the 1996-2003 CE Lancer Coupe only, across the coupe grades (GLi, GLXi, MR, VR-X), which share the same 2-door body. It does not fit the CE Lancer Sedan, the 3-door Mirage hatch, or the Lancer Evolution sedans.

What is the difference between Hand Laid and Chopper Gun?
Chopper guns spray short, random glass strands into a mould, which can leave thin, brittle sections. Our Hand Laid process manually layers continuous glass mat, giving a better resin to glass ratio and higher impact resistance.

Does it come painted?
No. It arrives in a raw gel coat finish. After test-fitting, it needs professional sanding, priming and painting to match your vehicle paint code.

Will this be a professional fit out of the box?
No aftermarket FRP panel is a simple bolt-on like an OEM part. While our moulds are high quality, minor professional adjustment is standard industry practice to account for chassis variance on a car that is now more than 20 years old. This is why professional pre-fitting is required before paint.
