Picked up some wheels!

Man... i just got this car over 2 weeks ago and here i am dumping everything aready into it. Thus far i am really enjoying this car and am extremely happy with it. It's a 2005 Evo VIII MR which was bone stock at the time. Since then i've added Tein FLEX coilovers and 5zigen FN01-RC wheels. Here are the pictures.

i have but it's way to expensive... the bumper alone is over $700 and it doesn't include the mesh and emblem. I think the 8 bumper looks good with the CF air duct inserts and lip... the rear bumper is a must and the JDM heads/tails will really set it off i would think.

i picked up my ix front bumper for 300 with all mesh and emblems. only thing gone was the lip. just gotta look around the forums man.

but no doubt an 8 bumper with all those cf goodies will look just as good.

wow really nice look,.....I used to have the same wheels back when they were just called FN-01R's and were forged......I miss them dearly especially now since they don't make the forged versions anymore.....black looks mean

ya def.... mod bug has bit me long ago with my MR2 and turbo civic.

buddy of mine told me about this APR Evo9 body kit...
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/Me...&Store_Code=EM

the lip is molded into the fiberglass so it's a one piece kit. i don't know how fitment issues are with these body kit style fiberglass copies so im a bit weary. from the pix i've seen it's appealing only because of the price but im weighing my options.

Fake Evasive APR bumper $475

Authentic IX bumper ranges between $700-$1000.

Authentic comes painted as well....

With this much money i can really get going with exhaust, DP, intake, ECU reflash/tune and MBC.
