Finally pics of my 4th evo

A lot of you probably remember my WW RS:



I sold that and bought a s2000. After about 8 months I missed my evo so I bought another one. Hopefully 4th time is the charm

So I finally had the chance to fully detail my car and take some shots of her.

I've had the car for around 2 months and here is my mod list:

JDM 8 Headlights
JDM 8 Taillights
JDM 9 rear bumper
CF Do-Luck replica lip
Vortex Generator
MR BBS (winter wheels)
BuddyClub Racing Spec Coilovers
9 SE interior
Pioneer AVIC-Z3 w/ orbital double din kit
Boston Acoustic complete system
ARC Shift knob
AEM Wideband gauge
AEM Boost gauge
Buschur V-Band racing TBE
Buschur mini battery kit
Buschur UICP
Buschur Intake
Tial bov

I have some other things in my room but they aren't on the car yet.

I will have a photoshoot of the car soon, but in the mean time here are some shots after the detail:















No swirls or scratches on the paint

New evo looks good!

Coming from a detailer though, in the last pic the paint looks very hazy. I saw you had it at a detail shop. Is that your shop or just a shop you took the car to? jw.

lol Please understand I'm not being critical just asking if there may still be some product drying there.

Nah it's just that stupid light I used. For some reason the picture came out like that. The light was dull so it had a bad glare to it. It's a picture of the trunk, trust me that there's no haze on it. ha I know exactly what you are talking about.

I pay for half the shops expenses.

Yea that seat was all the way up in that pic from cleaning out the back seat. Didn't move it back.

Very nice man! If you want to talk detailing they have a detailing forum here on EvoM! What was your LSP? I'd love to see some Fuzion on that! Just bought 2 tubs of it

Optimum Hyper Compound (when needed)
Optimum Compound
Optimum Polish
Finished off with Swiss Vax cleaner and Swiss Vax Smargad

Pads that were used were a Heavy cutting pad (yellow) with the hyper in certain places. The rest of the car was hit with a medium cutting pad (green) with the compound and a softer pad (blue) with the polish.

I forget the specific brand of the pads I used.
