I'm a stickler for "clean" and I really think your car is exactly that.

Great work on those rear fenders. I wish I could see them in person.

we definitely can, but its on the rather expensive side because we repaint the quarter panels typically that way they don't chip or crack in the future...

Running Megan Racing Track coilovers. Works pretty good - might be a bit stiff for street use if you crank up the dampening.

Thanks for the complements! It is my friend's car and he doesn't go online much. We are working on a similar look for my car - although I won't be running as extreme a wheel set up.

The wheel fitment does require some permanent modifications. If you want to try it out know what you are getting into.

The Evo is a race car - I highly encourage people to take it out to a track and have some fun.

Ganador mirrors. They are powered aero mirrors. Looks cool but not as good visibility as stock mirrors. Gruppe-S and Speed Element carry them.

function over looks

that setup is kind of retarded

better off running an 18 x 9 with a better offset and 255 or 265 width tires

nice car, but it wont handle as well as it could or look as well as it could

That's what a lot of people say but think about the output of an stock Evo and how much slower the car will be with huge tires.

Although popular American thinking is "bigger is better" - total balance is not always acheived this way.
