My 2003 Evo VIII

What do you guys think about it ? I can't take credit for the mods, bought it from the dealer with most of the stuff on it. My brother got an EVO few months after I took him for a spin in mine. Evos are awesome.

Get rid of those stickers on the side, get some evo 7 tails, and I'm sold... The interior is a bit much, but it looks alright.

****it man thats what you like, it looks good. Alls I can say is at least you kept the color tone down and you don't have flames. "I do what I wana do"

It could be worse. Could always be bright pink with the words cotton candy on it. And naked ladies on the trunk and hood......?

stickers are never a good thing, the interior is a bit much for me, but not too bad, get rid of the stickers and the car should set up pretty nice and would make the interior a not as flashy

The rims are Volks CE28.

I agree with all of you about the vinyl, that was one of the things that kept me from buying the car for two weeks. Once I drove it, I didn't care about the stickers anymore, now I'm used to it and I started to like them a little. The blue is not as vibrant as on the photos - jpeg compression does something to it and makes it stand out. There was more stickers on the windows, I asked the dealer to remove them before I picked up the car.

Thanks for the comments.

honestly the vinyl on the outside doesnt affect me either way... i dont particularly like it not really my style but it doesnt bother me either... there are only 2 things that concern me and that is the reccaros the center area did u unstich it from the alcantera and get replacment fabric or how did you do it and why?? did you not like the blue patern that was on the original seat?? and also i noticed that the door pannels and the dash board have been turned to silver color... how did you do that i cant really tell from the pic did you use fiber glass and resin??

All I know, is that the interior was done by Spanky's Customs smoewhere in Illinois. I tried to locate the company without any luck. As I mentioned earlier, I bought the car as you see on the pictures from the dealer and did not do any of the visible mods myself. I'm not sure how they changed the color of the dash board, but it looks professional - not a spray can job. I think the stock seats are just fine. I guess the previous owner wanted to make the car really unique.

That's exactly what I expected. When something is different, some love it, some hate it. Thanks.
