Finally bought my first Evo

Picked up a white 04 RS a month or so ago from a religious white rapper who spent too much time at pepboys buying neons, 8 ball shift knobs with matching tire caps to get a general idea of the ricer status this car was in when i got it. The seller also thought the turbo was blown but a quick change of plugs and a clean maf she runs like a champ.
Before


After cleaning up and rebuilding some Meisters and some TLC
MY license plate is from my old sti so i just kept it. thought it was funny.

Change your license plate....it's like an atheist driving around with an 'I Luv Jesus' sticker.

Not liking the blue/yellow wheel/caliper combo. Luv the wheels...just not the color.

^ Not hating LOL but that license plate is a must change.

Before ...not so nice looking. After....WAY BETTER.

Simply stating the blue/yellow combo is not where it's at for me...the rest is good to go.

Exterior looking good but I would repaint the calipers. Maybe white or black would look good with the white paint and blue rims. Just my .02.

Show some interior picks.

just my opinion here....so let's not chop my head off now...

nice car, it's a lot better than before. but if it was my car, i would...

A) put back the functional OEM wing
B) if you wanted to get read evo 7 tails, then do it, if not, then get depo ones
C) get rid of the ricer colored white painted interior pieces.

OEM sleeper status FTW
