Exclamation NYC Auto Show 03

hey went to the auto show this weekend, got some pictures for ya'll of the fast and furious evo. It wasn't all that great, the paintjob sucked compared to the spyder. The color was ugly, and it was a bad paint job like some untalented kid did it. The wing is a ricer wing, they turned it into a ricer mobile. I have some good interior shots that you can see although there is a little glare. Look at the seats!! sweet as hell! If you find those seats online message me with the url please have no time to look right now
well go here you'll see the riced out evo. Tell me what you think.

I'm in the same situation as you. I purchased a set of TEIN coilovers and am reluctant to put them on because the car's handling is unbelievable from the factory. If I were you, I'd try them on. Since you're gonna take a loss on them anyways, you might as well try them out.

I think they did use a real Evo VII. I was there on Saturday and on the dash you can see the button for the ACD.
