The difference between the Evo stock tail lamps are OEM and the aftermarket "Alteeza" style are not. Just like the FMIC and Brembo brakes that evry wants to know where we got them. Regarding the tails, they both do the same job, except the clear tail lamps will have better visibility. Car looks good either way!

That looks absolutely gorgeous. Hell, I don't even like silver cars, but I concede defeat here. Very nice.

yeah...I always liked the old style front on the jdm 7. Although....the 8 is supposedly designed for better air flow.
I still like the 7 one though. That was definitely the best looking EVO ever in my book.

Tristar Racing, yep, I know you can get the 7 rims from Mitsu... but almost $500 each is a bit steep. The Enkeis are $900 for the set delivered from Discount Tire, they weigh only 17.6 pounds each, are finished in hyperblack and are the exact size/offset/etc of our stock rims. Just makes more sense to me.

Hyperblack is the closest I can get to brake dust colored... heh

Absolutely more sense, plus I think the might eb lighter than the VII rims. Just thought Id mention it in case you didnt know......
Only 900 bucks, eh? Very good deal for such nice rims. Take pictures when you get them. By the way, what kind of tires are you going to get?

The stock Advans are going on the RPM2s, and a set of 255/40 Victoracer V700s are going on the stock rims for solo II, just to make the Mustang guys whine a bit louder than they are right now.

Hey Diesel - do a search, there are already some good pics posted of the red on black. I just popped them onto my tarmac black and makes a huge difference. With the clear, the reare lenses look a little squashed, whereas the red seems larger somehow, and definitely less "busy". With the red, it seems like the lenses flow with the car in a much smoother fashion, whereas the clear really look awkward. I was pleasantly surprised since most of the pictured I have seen depict the 7's with more of a pinkish tint, however, in reality, it's a nice deep red that looks sooooo much nicer!
