if you (as in anyone) get a race look you better back it up by taking car to the road course

Everything on my car is there for a 'purpose', not just to look cool. If I was to build a street car it would most likely be alot cleaner looking than my current evo... kinda like M3this or lil'evil_evos in this thread.

Or if you guys prefer the stock hood?

I'm planing on painting my C-West hood so it will look cleaner like the picture below

you re right, i prefer the clean look, since i am running it as a daily driver. but however lots of evoboys like to mod for the looks,too.not only for the looks, but there is no real "purpose" for all the race breed bumpers as long as you don´t want to compete semiprofessionally.
i mean if you run oem side skirts or voltex or something is not that different.

but however got your point and your altitude is correct,man

iam at the start right now,though.
anyone that goes straight to hardcore race look from the showroom?thats like burning money.who knows, that may be the best way, financially.
anyone daring to go widebody rear etc.?
No the car will still be very clean looking ...the closest thing I can find to how it will look it this evo wagon .... my car will have the same mods for the most part, but the hood will be color matched and Im sticking with stock fenders:

can also be a winning design.

its hard to make the clean and race look combo, but that seems to be the new trend.i m getting used to it,though. clean will always exist,either!
what i dont like is too much of everything , no real colourmatching and kind of mixing everything uo too much-tuning style.

btw: i am interested in usdm evo 9 lights,apr lip,kansai protectors,swifts and dark or gunmetall 18" if anybody wants to sell stuff. pay little more +shipping to europe
