Why lose the canards if you don't mind my asking?

Anyhow, I'd simply fill the holes with automotive self-locking trim plugs like you'd find at any autoparts store. Of course, it looks best when your car is black.

Mitsubish made canards for Evos. It is in the dealer's option. My question is, Why did you take them off at the first place?

Go to a hobby store and pick up a mylar decal sheet (remote control plane/car hobbyists use it to make their own decal jobs)....it's super thin and I know at least the silver and the black match Evo paint pretty damn well. Plus it's super thin so you don't build up wax and crap around the edges. Just cut out some nickel-sized pieces and slap 'em on the holes. Cost is about $4.
