Did all this since I returned from Afghanistan.
Carbon fiber front lip, JDM rear bumper, DemonWerkz bumper beam, carbon fiber exhaust heat shield, Aquamist HFS-6, Hose Candy, FiD vacuum block, GSC S2 cams, ARP headstuds, GSC Beehive valve springs, stainless steel Dress Up Bolts for the engine bay, 60,000 mile maintenance, carbon fiber front and rear Mitsu emblems, Redline Goods shifter boot and arm rest, DBA 4000 rotors, Goodridge stainless brake lines, Hawp HPS brake pads, washed and claybar.
A few weeks after JDM bumper install I was vacationing in DC and someone hit my Evo while parked in hotel parking lot. They of course did not stick around to claim responsibility. Destroyed my carbon fiber heat shield, ripped Buschur bullet exhaust off and damaged bumper. She is in body shop now while I drive around in a rental GMC pickup truck.

Kinda. It's the same style knob.

Black leather baseball-style, with 6-speed pattern and reverse lockout provision.

JDM 6 speed knob, USDM "SE" 6 speed knob.

I can't stand the aluminum MR knob any longer. As you know, it's hot as ***** this summer.

Oh I know what you're talking about. I've got the leather 6 speed knob too since the aluminum one gets stupid hot. I think I've had mine for 3-4 years now

Yeah you've got that same knob.

Only reason I called it the SE knob is because it came on all the SE's. I guess it's really the JDM 6sp knob.

That sucks, but I guess it's good it's just the gasket.

Aight day 2 back to back! Replaced tired *** turbo coolant lines with some EARLs -6an Push Lock hose, very nice BTW... also found a hardware store that had button head allen bolts so I replaced a bunch of botls in the engine bay with those as well... and one last thing, put my new registration sticker on so I am not riding dirty anymore I will take pics of everything here in a few minutes when I go on break!

Touched up the vent on the top of the car and got my "cat" (heat shield from the stocker) ready to put on the car for inspection time.
