As "wasFWDnowAWD " pointed out, they actually made an evo you can buy right off the showroom floow with the stripes and white wheels. Its part of the rally legacy that made the Evo what it is today. Not rice by any means. At least not to me though I'm sure some differ in opinions.

I'm a rally fan, do a lot of autocrossing, and wanted to do some preparations to my Evo in manner that payed homage to the Evo's rally legacy.
Those should have been your first words...Now that you put it that way...GL bro

I like the TME type look. I think you need a front lip to complete the package.

I love white rpf1s on red. You definitely need to drop it though.

Looks good. Just lower the car, fix the lip, call it good.

Thanks. Sorry to have made some throw up -- but also very glad to see some of you are liking the look. I know the image is not complete but I'm working on it. Give it time.

Going to drop it down on coilovers and then do the final touches -- get a new front lip, and possibly do a white emblem on the rear wing. Oh and a vortex generator would be cool too.

17X9.5 I think the offset is +38. Need a 15mm spacer for these to clear the front brakes.

wrong as in not exactly like the TME? Or just plain wrong? I only had 2 colors to work with and did the best I could. I thought about doing the hood thing but figured it would be too difficult to look right so I just did a modified version of the TME stripe with 2 colors.
