I really like the EVO IX... it's kinda EVO VII + EVO IV with all the latest MR goodies.

Pretty sweet looking...

But, what are those two holes on the lower bumper? Air holes? or Fog lights?

A debate about what these are for has been happening at evolutionm.net for a while now. The general consensus is that no one has a clue. They're definately not fog lights, they are incorporated into the main headlight assembly.

Perhaps if they made a very limited edition MR that would be snapped up by race teams and uber-track hounds only... then I guess it'd be okay in the US.
