Just a small update, Its almost done. Mitsu has had us delayed by sending junk parts. He said that the trunk lid he ordered looked worse then what was on the car when he got it in. All that is left is a little touchup, some buff work, and cleaning it all up.

Before


After (crappy phone pic)


Im really happy with it with the wing removed. It really tones down the car to less of the boy racer look. I never had any trouble with the wing with the po-po so it was more of just the local ricers and 4x4s that thought they had to rev at me. I will take better pics when I get it back.

Man i feel for ya. Hail is the worst cause most times you have to replace panels which get pricey especially with the evo. I work at a body shop and my fender bender when someone hit me was over 10K!!!!!! And that was one fender, headlight, and hood and bumper!

WOOT! It is done, im fixing to go pick it up. But its kinda been raining out side today so I dont know if it will even make it home clean. But my body guy has a big smile on his face after a quick test drive.

If the drive on the way home is clean I will snap a few pics, if not it may take me a few days to get some good photos (I do suck with the camera if you could not tell).

Well im home now, but the damn camera is dead, so no pics yet. But man she is clean. All said and done I got some cash back after everything was painted. All that is left is for him to paint my stock wing (fix the clear on the fiber) and then I will have that up for sale too. Im very impressed with it, but it was very weird to look out the rear window and actually be able to see out of it. Even tho I spent the last month driving a turbo AWD Talon with a few mods, it still nice to be back home in the Evo.
