My 60K Anniversary !!!
Well I've owned my Evo now for 4 1/2 years and it just turned 60,000 miles. I thought it's about time the car had some love !
As you can see the calipers were very faded, I bought the G2 Caliper paint system, my only recommendation is use a different brush than the one supplied. The hairs are way too stiff. The calipers came out OK, not fantastic, but certainly better than the pink faded look...
I changed the oil, and put on a set of Volk LE28's 18x9's, 245/40/18 Goodyear F1 GS tires. I got these off of Ebay, and was very skeptical untill they arrived. Now I couldn't be happier. They look amazing and have transformed the car.
Washed, waxed and almost ready to roll. Have to wait 24 hours for the paint to cure.
Once I get my girlfriends camera, I'll take some real photo's, for now this is it.
Have a great day !
Comments welcome...

Thanks guys....
I've thoroughly enjoyed owning the car. I searched for month's to find a set of Volk's, I really wanted bronze SE37K's but just couldn't find them. When I saw these LE28's come up for sale, I couldn't let them pass me by. For 3 years I had SE37A's on my Eclipse and they were awsome, I hope I can keep these just as long.
Thanks everyone !
Thanks everyone !
