Evo Ever After, (56k this is not a happy story for you)

Here are a few pics of the Evo after I got it back last wed from the body shop. I hosed it down really quick as it has rained a few times already this week, go figure huh. Gots to wait a while before I can wax it. This is just a few random places that I hit around my house. I saw one more cool site, but it was crowded so I will give it a try later. I still have to get another eyebrow put back on the windshield and scrape off the Hallett stickers. Also I need to repaint the Brembo calipers as they are flaking and turning pink! And we all know that pink is for girls or WRX/STI's...

Link to old thread if you want to see the before pics --->Tickle my Elmo!

I decided to start a new thread as no body was reading the outcome (after 11 pages I cannot blame them). It was fixed for under the 7600.oo I had gotten and fully paid for by insurance.
