Already closed it up. I got the impression those Kiggly's are more for track use cases and may not do much for my DD.

New tag but hasn't been washed in months. No mods in over two years either

Edit: I lied, I forgot about swapping to JDM side markers and binary seat lower brackets a couple months ago.

Re-painted the front end of the car at the end of last year and finally had the XPEL PPF done so I can drive the car again. Bumper, full hood and fenders. One of my biggest regrets was not doing the PPF when I originally bought the car.

Looks lovely! As a fellow GG owner (with SE lip to boot) thinking about this in the back of my mind...can I inquire how much it cost for the repaint + PPF? And were there issues matching given the age of the rest of the paint?

Painting was about 1700 and PPF 1950. They told me to wait a minimum six months before applying the PPF, so I parked the car for the better part of a year.

No issues matching the paint, but since I bought my second car nine years ago the Evo is parked in a garage the majority of the time out of the sun.

Ran a drill bit thru each hole. My driver side was completely clogged. My left side looked ok but i still got plenty of crap out.
if you plan to do this be careful with the ball joint boot if you dont have the oe heatshields. Luckily i put a mini heatshield on mine

CF Rear Diffuser

Added a Rexpeed Varis style rear diffuser. Happy with the quality. Rexpeed price was a lot better than the $$$ official Varis brand and I didn’t have to wait 4-6 months for it to be built.

I did have to make a bracket/bar to push the CF just a bit from touching my muffler but some modification is expected with aftermarket exhaust’s.
