I like your black one more, good thing you were safe from the accident. Good luck with your new Evo.

Thanks everybody

Driving this Evo the first couple weeks, it didn't feel like it was mine. I felt like I was just borrowing it from the owner, because the car already had a few bolt-on's. But since then, I've changed the look and added some bolt-on's myself so the car finally feels like it's "mine".

I still think something a little lighter than phantom black, but darker than graphite grey would look sick. A good friend of mine is a painter but getting him to do any side-work is tough becaue he's too damn lazy, haha. It took me 3 months of bugging him to help me fix the wing on my old Evo. It was peeling so we made it all carbon. The wing on this car is in really good shape though. I intend to keep it that way

If I do change the color it probably won't be until next spring. We'll probably start with graphite grey, but leave out the purpleish pearl stuff, add some black to it and add a little bit of silver fleck to it, nothing too "showy". Something OEM looking.

Nope, they fit perfectly.

When I first installed them I thought they were agressive as hell. Until at a meet I was parked next to and Evo with far more agressive ADVAN's... My wheels looked stock, hahaha.

I love the RPF1's. I have for probably 4-5 years. Many think they're played out, but I think they're only of those wheels, like Rays TE37's, CCW's, BBS LM's... they have a certain styling that just doesn't get old to me.
