for anyone who wants to know it is an evo VIII. i dont have a lip on it because i am waiting for an apr cf lip and they are out of stock so its what i have so far. tell me what you think! btw i had to get my ams exhaust modified to fit.

 

oh yah this is my winter set up so i took off my volks i might put them back on to get some pics with them sometime

 

what else do you think i should do to make it look better, i was thinking vortex generator, either cf or silver, and some evo dave headlights w/o amber and a fmic, any other suggestions?

 

Shorty antenna.

 

nice ride man

 

Evodave headlights!

 

get mr heads,se lip,cf vg,and remove stock lancer/evo badge



what part of the exhaust did you have to cut?

 

i had to cut it right before the mufler about 2 inches out of it to make it fit or else the muffler can was touching the jdm bumper but it was no biggy and only cost me like $50 at master muffler. whats the best way to remove the stock badge? and i am waiting on a cf lip thats why i didnt get a lip but i might end up going for an se lip i am no sure

 

added voting... should i spend the extra $100 and get a cf front lip or should i stick with an evo ix front lip or get an ix se lip? let me know what you think

 

looks super clean!

 

fishing line will remove the badge easily

 

Ouch. Proclaiming that it's an VIII with a big UK VIII badge but then having a JDM IX rear and USDM IX front just ruins it. That exhaust looks awful with the JDM IX rear, too. I don't care how an exhaust looks personally, but you seem to care only about looks, so you might want to remedy that. The stock wheels look out of place with all the rice, but I'm sure your Volks look much better. It just didn't make sense to post pics without the Volks, imo.

There are multiple write-ups on how to remove badges easily, so do a search.

I would say that a CF lip, Evodave heads, and a body color VG would improve the looks, but they would serve almost no performance purpose and cost a lot of money. If that's your preference, then go for it.

 

Absolutely beautiful so far.

The tint and lighting in the first picture is really nice.

 

i took my badges off in the summer and they came off like nothing but since were going into winter you might want to consider using a blow dryer/heat gun and use floss to get under the emblem.

As far as the lip i think se or stock since cf when far away looks like your missing a lip..

oh if you dont mind
Where did you get the front bumper im considering on doing the same to my 8

 

i talked to my local shop and they ordeded all of the parts from mitsu for me. and warrtalon to let you know the only reason i replaced all of the body parts was i was in an accedent and they were getting replaced so i went ahead and upgraded to the parts that i felt would look much better than the stock parts. the whole deal cost me only like $500 more than what insurance payed for so i decided to go for it. i was debating removing the evo VIII badge when i switched to the evo ix body (it was on there before i put on the ix front and rear) and i still might do that. but thanks for the comment anyways
