Value,

The pics of the car you posted are of an Evo 7, right? Now, everything I have seen and read shows that for all practical purposes, the Evo 7 and Evo 8 are the same car with a facelift (and of course we don't get the 6 speed, the ACD, the AYC......) If that is true, will that bumper fit on an Evo 8? I have seen that bumper for a while and I really like how it has the opening around the factory air intake guide. True, the factory Evo 8 inlet works just fine, but I don't like the huge Mitsu logo or the Pontiac Sunfire looks of the Evo 8's front bumper. If that one would fit, I would consider buying it.

Just something that is on my mind.....

Josh

CF hoods designed for the JDM 7 WILL NOT FIT the EVO 8!! They fit perfect in the rear (closest to the windsheild) and in the sides, they latch perfectly in the front, but the diamond cut nose of the 8 doen't work with 7 hoods as the 7 front is "open". I had a 7 CF hood on my car for a few minutes (test fitting by one of the poppular CF distributors ), and it looked awesome, except in the front.

To get those door handles they want your handles off the car first

This the only other pic I have of them. Plan on sending a set of spare handles to get done that I'll pic up from the dealer. Just need to check if the locks can me moved between handles.

Real Cf = Faux CF =

Besides, I just can't warm-up to the CF handles regardless of whether they are real or not. Its a personal taste thing I am sure, but just think the stock mono-colored handles looks better.

Hey Chris in HB, you are in pretty close contact with the RMR guys .....right? I just wondered if they ever considered doing a straight CF hood vent replacement since they already have half the mold created for their CF hood scoop kit? Seems like that would add a nice touch without being overbearing.

The other thing I would like to see is a real CF B-pillar cover kit. I have seen these on other cars and they look really good. A nice 4pc molded set of CF sill plates ( like Porsche sells for the 911 and Boxster) would also be excellent add.

For me, adding a few select CF pieces to balance the car front to back, would be a nice of-set to the CF wing.
