I love the idea of having a sleeper. It is hard to pull off with the brakes though, even if you get the body right. Don't listen to the sheeple who want every Evo to be just like their's....

I don't want any EVO to be just like mine. But its stupid to do that. Its one thing to de-badge the car, and de-wing the car....but to change the body panels and wheels to downgrade is ****ing stupid.

Now you rolling around in a factory bred race car, with rental car wheels and tires.....

The EVO GTA has much more of a sleeper look and is much more attractive than the boy racer looks of the EVO.

well if you mod the crap out of it, but have it look light a nice looking es lancer, you could make some made dough on the street or at the track. no one would think anything about it intill you bust there tail. and you willhave tons of ppl all around wanting to rece you b/c they think that there car is faster than a lancer

The term "sleeper" is used to describe a car that doesn't appear to be modded or fast, but in fact is.

strange idea.. but take the wing off, get evo VII tails, debadge it, and paint the calipers black. thats about as sleeper as you can get with an evo. i dont even think you could put regualr lancer body panels on it anyway. besides that car is ugly
