Here's my 2006 Evo IX MR in Tarmac Black. Only mods are a BMC filter and a JVC KD-NX5000.

Hows the JVC workin out for ya?
I hear they are a pain to navigate through.

Nice Car. You need to make it your own though. Wheels, drop tune etc.
Else its just like any other showroom Evo out there.

Still.....nice car and nice pics. like the city sky line backdrop.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

To answer some questions:

Yes, that's Manhattan. You can see my office building in the first shot.
And I too hate driving in the city. I was so paranoid driving my M3 there...

The headunit is a JVC KD-NX5000 HD based nav. It can play DVD video, DVD audio, SACD, etc. I also added a Sirius satellite tuner to it. You can also copy your music CD's or MP3 discs to the built in hard drive. I was watching the movie ****** while I was waiting for my wife this afternoon.. lol.

I installed the unit myself, and tucked all the antenna's under the dash so it's a clean install. As for navigation, it takes time to "learn", but so far has been accurate. Using the menus on the other hand seem a bit counterintuitive and I wish it used a touch screen.

I also hardwired my V1 by tapping into the dome light cluster.

As for the drop.. dunno if I want to do that with this car. My M3 rode on PSS9 coil overs and I tell you, I had a tough time traversing some of these New York roads. I am however considering Ohlins if I decide to convert this into a track toy. But since this my daily for the time being, I find the stock Bilsteins well balanced. The car can handle, and even friends in modded M3's had trouble keeping up with me at Bear Mountain.
