My Evo 8.5

I took a few shots last night. Comments welcome!
(It's a 2003 with a IX turbo, tail lights, and coil cover.)

Looks good but you need to drop that thing with some springs or coilovers.

Here are a few daytime shots. The only difference is the stock rotors in these pictures. On the headlights, JDM MRs are a nice choice but I may have to stick with my IX theme.

I see you're using DSM link on your car? How are you liking that?

I wouldn't use anything else on the market. Stand-alones are nice, but you have to tune from scratch and won't pass state inspection with the OBD-II check. Flashes are too risky since you have no way to know if you're knocking or at your full potential. Piggy-backs are the same way, but you're lying to the ECU -- something I don't like doing. Also, with piggy-backs, you can't independently adjust timing and fuel. Did I mention no direct monitoring of your knock sensor?

Good points. Someone was telling me that they didn't know if you could use DSM link or not on our cars. So that's why I asked.
