I've also seen some kits like the one that started this thread with the front lips being pulled towards the ground due to the air pressure.

OMG - are you comparing my car to a civic? LOL LOL
ANyways.... I will take some footage of my car driving down the highway.

I have seen carbon hoods that flap in the wind.... HAHAH mine doesnt. And I have seen kits so thin they wobble...but my **** was made good. very sturdy. Man, if you ever say the fitment you would think it was STOCK.

Yo that car looks pimp as **** man damnn..... I should have gotten my **** Yellow!!!! hahaha. I love those huge functional vents.....But yea man how much did it cost w/ install and everything....

Also post a pic of you going 100mph (or more if you dare....which you should It is an evo so that is not so hard) Because if would like to know if it will withstand constant high speed.....

Also SERIOUS PERFORMANCE QUESTIONS: If you want to tune te suspention for serous performance and can you still do it and be able to pull the .99g's and 71.5 mph in the slalom like BOZZ did w/ their Evo 7????
And second can you put a BRA on that?!! I know, I know "what the F***?? why would you want a bra on a body kit?? you crazy bla bla.... But where I live there is alot of construction on the highways and i am always driving on the high way. So you see those ****in construction trucks w/ their whole bay droping rocks and dirt at 70 mph and their tires throw up all the other **** the previous trucks threw. So yea protection is necessary. I don't care what someone thinks of my car w/ a bra. They aren't paying for the paint.

Peace and thanks guys

I dont have any graphix, but I think my car will look better with the CWEST kit put in (going on nxt week)

that front kit makes it look like -> <- and the yellow black hood? it doesnt look like its wide enough

rest of the car looks great though.. I think that front end will have to grow on me though

Kinda agree with you, only vender you'll see on my car is Road Race Engeneering, cuz they cut me a deal, but not much of one, so all they get is the licenceplate holders :P
Soon as venders hook it up I'll paste some tasteful advertisement (porotionate to the hook up of course) I dont mind supporting a company, but im not doing it for free
I dont wear all niky outfits either....

i'm just saying when i look at your car, that is what pops into my head... maybe if it wasn't for all the stickers / vinyl on it, i'd see it differently...

you say you are not sponsered, and have to pay for your parts, then why all the advertisement... looks FNF to me...

too all of you that keep saying people are hating becuase his EVO looks better than theirs...? it's just a matter of taste...

Very nice job you've done with your car! I've seen it around a few times here in Miami. Mad props! I have to say I wasn't the biggest fan of the look of the Evo VIII, but you've totally changed my opinion!

uhm are you trying to show that the kit isn't leveled or something? do you think that drawing two lines to the center of the image would make it exact?

did you take in consideration of the angle of the shot?? first off its a really low angle giving the impression that the front bumper is alot bigger than it really is. second do you think he shot the picture with having exact measurements in mind? how do you know thats the center point of the car? maybe its alot higher by a quarter of an inch maybe even less but that small difference in measurement can make things totally different.

by looking at the image i can tell he shot the picture a little to the left [if you really want me to explain then ask me but its a long explanation using perspective as the solution...theres a few very minor things i can point out that will explain as to why i believe he shot the image a little to the left (ie:shadows and proportions) being an artist, perspective is a huge thing to us especially when it comes to our work so i can almost gaurantee you that im right.]

Actually I was pointing out that the badge is offcenter. It is not off by much, but it makes the whole front of the car just look a bit 'wrong'.
