Car looks great. The only thing I would suggest is after you get some Ralliart Decals, debadge the trunk. I think it makes Ralliarts look so much cleaner. Especially since our license plate takes up so much space.

Yea thats what I was planning to do. I got some RA decals that Im going to put on the side skirts in front of the rear tires. Then go and debadge the trunk.

I dropped off the sides to my Evo wing and eyelids this morning at a local body shop. Said they should be painted my color by this weekend. So hopefully I'll be able to get the wing back together and installed this weekend as well. Im so stoked Ive been waiting for all this stuff to come together for so long now!

@Raikiri I apologize for the crappy pictures but they are the best I could get yesterday evening. And LOL Thanks! I know what you mean about the "Accomplished" feeling. Ive felt that on this site twice now. Once for the sticky and once before because someone said something about doing a mod 'Bakuro style' I got a kick out of that one. And the Rally Armors always look good!

On to pics now!

LOL yea you may have to mount them up a little higher than usual!


Well lets see Ive been spending the last few afternoons wrapping the rear deck. I had to cut out holes so I could install the third brake light, and I got rid of the middle seat belt. Had to fill in that hole then I could wrap the entire thing in black carpet. Here are some pics:






And the other thing I started on was the middle section of my evo wing. The sides are getting painted by a local family owned body shop that has helped me out a few times now. The dad and son pulled my first Jeep out of a ditch after a wreck back in 2008. When walmart screwed up my oil changed and locked up my original motor the daughter (looks good, and use to drive a decked out 3g eclipse) picked me up and towed me back to town. The dad helped me figure out my evap emissions problem I had a long time ago. And now they are giving me the best deal on painting my wing... haha I love that family!

But about the Evo wing for those that didnt know. Its pretty much held together with glue and velcro... hahaha so Im replacing the worn out velcro and had to sand off some rust and left over glue. Then I started plasti-dipping it. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this evening and I can get a few more layers done on it.

Hey bakuro, that rear deck looks really good and I like those mud flaps too. The wheels look really good. Curious to see if you decide on spacers or not.

if its only held on with velcro and glue then thats quite depressing -_- I thought the sides were held together with bolts unless yours is a replica...

are you going to clearcoat the plastidip or leave it as a flat black?

@kapitol thanks! and I'm not sure if ill get the spacers back on or not. If i do ill definitely have to roll the fenders. But I'm enjoying no rubbing right now. Lol

@raikiri nope its the real deal. Here is a how to from the evo threads on disassembling it. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=595673 i made new brackets like that Guy in that guide did as well the stock ones are flimsy and rust easily...

It looks like things are coming along nicely. I too want to do something to protect the cf on my evo 8 spoiler, it's perfect now but I know it won't last

Yeah , cf is way over rated and from 20 feet away you can't tell the difference. Better still when your driving your car you can't even see it ,lol (Katt Williams)

Lol very true. Talked to the body shop side of the wing and eyelids will be done Monday. Got the wing painted up today. Debadged her and ditched a few old decals. Washed her. Then added a few new decals.
