Get A Black Evo!!!

Anyone else notice how all the little rock dings to the front end or plastic bodykit of the EVO shows the underlying material is pitch black??

IT WOULD UTTERLY RULE TO HAVE A BLACK EVO!! You wouldn't have to worry at all about little rock dings anywhere, they'd freakin match the paint!! So my recommendation to everyone out there is to BUY BLACK EVOs!!

Having a white EVO with little black pokadots on it kinda sucks... I'm gonna have to buy some weightless white touch up paint very very soon!!

rockchips!!

My black Evo has one very minor rock ding... I only notice it because I'm completely **** retentative about cleaning, zainoing and taking care of the paint. It shows white underneath.

But still, don't rule out a black Evo because it's the sexiest color when cleaned & polished

From a few feet away they look like bugs, but up close they look pretty bad.

Not to hijack this thread, but where in StL are you from?

Stop using crappy waxes and move to the real deal - Zaino polish

3 to 5 layers of Z5 or Z2, and you'll know why it's so popular. There is no comparison. Zaino is crack for car guys.

I have a black OZ Rally lancer and hate it ! Trying to keep it clean is like trying trying to get an Evo VIII at Mitsubishi Japan cost (just not gonna happen)
The sad thing is, i'm leaning toward black for my Evo !!
