i like the black handles i dont know why but i do.
Nobody said it was a VII bumper. The wing is the only VII part on the car, everybody should be able to tell it's not the stock VIII wing...that's why I did it.

If u are brave and want to be different then u should WHITE out the tail and headlights. I was going to do it but the cops out here in LA in cali. are real A holes and would mess with me. I also have the white rs. man this car is sooo badass doesnt even compare to all the other cars out there.

Good idea, just not sure how legal that is...anybody know? I wouldn't think it'd be too bad considering people can put these covers over other cars to make the lights look circular. Hmmmmm, just might have to photoshop that up and see what it looks like...thanks!

So then one would think that the 05 abs is different than the 03 or 04 models. so then if have an 03 or 04 one must upgrade to the 05 abs system in order to get it to work?? .02

The contrasting color door handles would look even better if you had a little more (or other)black accent pieces.

I really like the RS but I just couldn't wait until 04.

Exhaust shield. cf preferably or can paint white to blend in, or black to match door handles for that matter. The smaller more aerodynamic mirrors. Also u can take some of the crumby plastic parts from the inside and have them painted white/blue or whatever colorscheme u want to go with.Metal shifter, metal pedals, blue or silver metal instrument surround cluster,white guages, metal scuffplates. Mount guages on front left piller. Actually replace pillers with carbon fiber replicas. Oversized mirror from broadway. Then spray front wire mesh grilles white and heat vent. Or even go crome for the grilles. then pause and think how could u stuff 20 more grand into the car and then get to work.

Nice conversion. I've never been in an RS, how much louder is it inside the cabin?

I wouldn't mind doing SOME of those things, like the smaller mirrors, shifter scuffplates, etc. but I'm not going to put the gauges on the pillar (I love my gauge pod and it can't be seen from outside), and some of the other things like painted the interior...not gonna happen on this car. I did it on my '02 Z24, other people do it to their cars like that, but not in an EVO man...just my opinion though. Reasoning behind it is because is less-expensive cars you can replace the panels cheaper if you want it changed back to sell the car. I've already replaced the interior of this car...IT'S NOT CHEAP! :P
