Great looking car. I love how it looks. But, I think it would be great with an all cf wing.

Thanks for all the props on the ride and the feedback! It's good to know that I'm not delusional in thinking the car looks hot. Thanks again to everyone!

It's the Kaminari 4-piece body kit. The front bumper is urethane, and the rest is fiberglass. The CF hood is also made by Kaminari. The only pics I saw when ordering this was on a blue riced-out Evo with fugly graphics on it. I'm really stoked with the way it turned out.

I thought about that when I first did the custom paint, which was almost a year-and-a-half ago. I didn't want the wing to fade out too much, as it's kind of the calling card for the Evo. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure how much it cost me for just the hood, as he did the entire body kit and hood together. I do suggest you work with someone who is familiar with CF. It is a little different, depending on the manufactorer. This hood was a REALLY good quality, so it wasn't too bad, I'm told. He applied several additional layers of clear coat to the hood and wing to make the CF really glossy. You should see it in person. I have to change my pants. The guy who did the work was really awesome and noted some imperfections in the paint, so repainted the entire car for $200. Can't beat it!

Sorry...I was getting there. They're Enkei OR52's in 18X8.5 with a 35mm offset. They fit perfectly with no spacers needed. They're hot. If you look in the original pics someone found of my ride, you'll see a lugnut cover. I have since removed it, as I think it makes it look a little busy with the extra polished rim. The CF center cover was a cutom order item. I do think you can order them from Enkei now with no problem, however you'll have to alter the center cap as I did to make it silver in the very middle, instead of gold.

awesome only thing i would of done different would be to leave the hood alone and paint the part of the fender that goes up on the apillar black just to make the line you started in the back stay uninterupted.

But Hands down that is one sexy Silver Evo and I HATE silver cars.
