Evo IX MR quick pics

Here's a few fast shots i took today. Lemme know what you guys think. Just got some new rubber and the springs have settled nicely. Im actually looking into a front splitter,side spats or some side skirts. Something to give it a more unique look. I am however fond of the clean look. I've gotta try some rolling pics and hit up a new location to get some better shots.Thanks in advance guys.

Thats the idea. =) I'm a big fan of the OEM look. The only thing that makes it a lil different is the badge setup in the back and the springs that dropped it 2''. Im looking to add something subtle but nice to it. Any thoughts?

Tein S-Tech. I went against the grain with what i read on the forums and got them. The drop was 2'' all the way around. The car rides like a dream and the drop was in my opinion much nicer and fitting for the car than the swifts or the others. Just goes to show you that things aren't always what they seem.

hate to say but lets see how long ur bilsteins last with those springs. I've had multiple friends blow out their bilsteins prematurely due to the springs but I agree the drop looks the best. Good luck though and the car looks sweet.

Depends on what your definition of subtle is. How about a cf lip?

I agree... if you could shoot me a PM as well...

Car looks great... the UK badging and relocated MR badge also look great.

I would do some JDM tails or JDM bumper... I know you said subtle but JDM bumpers are somewhat subtle but give it a bit more of an aggressive look as opposed to USDM rear bumpers.

Although the springs may be compromised faster than they would stock you're going to get that to some degree no matter what springs you buy. The knock ...from what i read...on the Tein's was ride quality. That was beyond wrong. The car for all intended purposes drives smoother than it did stock. Now what i think smooth is might differ from what you deem to be smooth...however the important thing is that i was happy with the product and that I am. I do hope the springs last though...I've had a few cars with blown springs and needless to say....it sucks.

The JDM tails and/or JDM bumper ideas are exactly what i was thinking...they are just pricey. Very pricey. I just bought an FP RED so i was thinking more along the lines of the earlier comment. Cf front lip...or spats perhaps. Keep the ideas coming guys and thanks! Pm's goin out for the front MR badge.

they are pricey but it does help a whole lot with the look of the car. Its all good I had to wait a long long time before I finally got the jdm rear out of the way. The tails just look out for a deal for them. I found mine for 250 and then sold my usdm ones for 250
