Nice ride. The VIII rims don't look too bad but when you get your new rims it will look even better.

so you sold the viii huh, now which one is better? (performance wise) cuz we all think the last generation (iv, v, vi) is better looking evos. any big difference on handling, or they are pretty much feel the same.

Yes I sold my VIII. I just fell in love with the VI and had to get one. The difference between them is huge. The VIII feels very civilised compared to VI which is raw, brutal, aggressive in your face type. It is almost neurotic and you don't want to use it as an daily driver where VIII is perfectly ok. But I like mine as raw as it gets (it is RS...) and it is a lot faster too. It has less weight, more power and shorter gearing. Also handling-wise they are like day and night. VIII with it's ACD and AYC is relatively easy to control. Just turn the steering wheel and floor the throttle and the computers take care of the rest. RS VI doesn't have even the AYC so it's characteristically understeering. You literally have to throw the car in to the bend. When you get it right it is much more rewarding, but it definitely requires more from the driver. So it all comes down to a matter of taste. VI is faster, no question about that, but not everyone likes the rawness and brutality. I do

Here's few interior pics as requested. Don't have better ones at the moment.

I really have soft spot for Compomotives.

Here's how previous owner had it. I'm thinking gunmetal.



Here's my ex VIII.
