Did the whole sleeper thing with my old RSX-S.

Bought the evo because it looks fast while it is fast. But I am gonna make it only seem that i'll have basic stuff done to it. So i'm going semi sleeper I guess youc an call it. lol

I mean i am not talking about ruining the appearance of the vehicle ( being an Aircraft mechanic specializing in intercoolers) it is so totally bad to spraypaint any part that disapates heat by convection ! I am talking about opting to go without all the big body kits and and crazy paint scheme and all. I am talking about a very well modded car that appears to be stock. I love ripping the doors off of car that think they are hot SH*T because you look stock . Its almost as pleasing as hearing a woman say "i am wrong, you are right !".

yeah, Chris's black FL AMS evo is the ultimate sleeper. I was going for the all-stock look until I got my hands on some springs and the APR splitter.

I love sleepers !! They are like librarians with bangin bodies and naughty attitudes when out of work. Their your little secret until you need them and then , BANG, someone gets embarassed. Plus all that attention is just a liability when it comes to theft . I mean, other than lowering the vehicle and bigger rims you'll look like aposer, til show time comes around.

I can work on anything in the Air Force but so far i have worked on F-15 C,D, and E's anywhere from 1978 models -2000 . I am an environmental electrician. Part of my jub is air flow throughout the aircraft. I deal with Turbines as big as 6 year olds and intercoolers big enough to lower 600 degree fehrenheit to 150 degree air.

Personally I have never put any kind of aftermarket body kit or aero on any of my cars. I like the clean look for OEM. For me, big wheels and lowering with a big exhaust is as far as I'd go on the exterior.

Plus, there are very few kits for an Evo that actually look good, most of them make the car look like something from Fast and Furious.

That AMS Evo needs to lose the wing to be a sleeper.

This is a sleeper. Plain Jane with nothing special.
