My Apex Silver 03 VIII

Just picked the car up a couple months ago from southern California with 3,600 miles on it (yes, an 03 with 3k miles ). I'm extremely happy with the car overall, but the rims wouldn't have been my choice had they not come with the car. I plan to get a set of coilovers to make it a little lower (has Tanabe GF210 springs now), DoLuck style lip, and possibly some SSR SP1's. I added a WORKS drop-in filter, and plan to do a flash and IC piping and TBE - but that's about it for now. Here are a few pictures that I took last week:












Nothing crazy, but I feel its a great platform for me to start with.

Great find with such low miles! I agree with you about the wheels. But hey they came with the car so what are you gonna do? Oh, and welcome to the madness at EvoM.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I'm actually not from Ohio, the previous owner was, but recently moved to SoCal and bought a house - so naturally, he needed to sell it since its so damn expensive here haha.

I took these pictures behind my gym, and there is some old gym equipment and stands out back, so I stood on one of them.

Love silver Evos! Thats why i got mine in silver! I personally dont like silver wheels on a silver car. Does look bad @$$ though! How much did you end up paying for it if you dont mind me asking? I just bought my 03 with 34k for 21500.

Thanks everyone. I paid $24k for it, and my credit union actually appraised it at $28k for some reason, haha. I figure I nearly bought a new car for $24k considering it still had the "new car smell", and everything was absolutely clean along with the mileage.

I actually might end up getting silver SP1's because for some reason I think the black ones on a silver Evo look a little off - call me crazy.

LMAO, his daughter Penny and that damn dog she always had with her. The vilain, you never saw his face, just a spiked hand, and he had a cat. HAHAHAHAHA, we're getting old.

I can't believe you found an 03 with that kind of mileage. Good find. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?
