First off GOOD JOB, I dont own an evo but do own a RA. Secondly Hmmmmmm lets see here 300 dollars plus for a battery upgrade that drops a few pounds or 50 dollars for a DIY. I would have to go with my moto off performance over looks. Go with it if it works, why WASTE money on something like a 300 dollar battery conversion when you can spend 50 and take the other 250 and spend it on somthing else. I will never know why everyone bashes someone for doing something different and origanal on here. Keep up the good DIY mods man, some people just hate becuase they cant be origanal and didnt think of it first.

it looks okay, but it wont win at shows, sand it down, mask it and paint it.. then it will look great.. i am not being a dick, just trying to help ya.. i did many of a things like this.. i wanted to go from oh nice, to damn that looks good..
it makes me try harder, and its worth it in the end.. it took me 2 weeks to do leds in my tails..
just ask yourself, do you want the work you do to you car to be nice, or do you want to stand out.. me i like to stand out..

if you did that you need better paint, or you need primer on there, pref., white or gray.. from the pic, it looks like the letters were painted with a brush..

For about $50 I'm happy with the result and take no shame in the fact that I made something and saved money doing so. As it sits now it'll be just as effective as any other mini battery kit out there to fit a larger/shorter UICP and I spent a hell of a lot less than I could have.
