car is my dd...just got pulled over 2 weeks ago for my exhaust...and living cali is no help...there are tons of evos out here i know that are modded...

its just a hassle for me to fix up the car, then a moment later have to put it back to stock to get checked off by the police. being that the car is a dd, i am satisfied of the power this car have. i've had the evo for a while, and i know how to drive it, but i rather learn how to drive it out in the track first and feel its full potential before adding anything to it

How about this? For every extra 20whp you make, buy an exterior part

Pretty much near reaching my goal bolt on wise. Only other part I want to add is an upgraded intercooler. Only cosmetic mods I've done is evo 7 tails, and shorty antenna that unfortunately got stolen off my car a couple weeks ago. I do want to get my windows tinted soon though lol. Power mods came first to me.

Im the same way. The only cosmetic thing I got done was the vortex generator.

I cant bring myself to get tail lights because I want that money to go towards the tune.

im kinda stuck in the same boat. im looking to get the cobb exhaust but i also want a jdm rear bumper. if i get the jdm cobb (witch is shorter) it will prolly burn my stock bumper. and i really dont wanna be paying 700 for the bumper and 600 for the exhaust at the same time.

I mixed it up a little bit. I started with power mods then did some exterior, aka wheels and then did a little handling...whatever category that falls under. The car is back in the shop getting a few more engine mods, as well as better brakes, and then I'm going to do a few more exterior mods that I have waiting at home.

power definetly has priority over all, however i did order some carbon fiber pieces. If I find a good deal on a cosmetic part I won't pass it up.

I agree with this, and is the route i have taken. I just posted a thread about keeping the car pretty, i think i have an official "evo queen" now,
