East Coast Evo 7. A Second Chance

Some of you remember my old thread when i first purchased Genuine 2001 Evo 7 with only 9000 kilometers

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ooklyn-ny.html

Yes it was disgusting. Yes it was rice. Yes it could come back to life. Yes i saw potential. (for info on the car and everything. Read the old thread)

Through the past couple months, i have been trying to put together OEM parts while balancing a good GPA in college while working. Its starting to come together. Exterior is coming alone while interior is de-carboned

This is just a couple. Ill keep it updated. Dont mind the USDM rear. I got it for free from a good friend. This is untill i can save up for a Genuine one.College is $$

This is before.



Its coming along. Sorry for the ****ty phone pictures. i dont want a legit shoot untill im finished



What i have planned within the next 2 months or so.
- Source an OEM lip
-Source OEM center air ducts
-Buying Carbon Air ducts http://www.rexpeed.net/new2007/produ....php?serial=91
-Buy OEM Trunk or trade someone for mine.
- Finish with Paint

Up next is Paint. Once everything gets painted ill be happy. i want to enjoy the summer with this car. Ill keep everyone up to date.

Aftermarket ones are harder to come by then the stock one IMO. Yakshii if you do find a aftermarekt one let me know, i may also be interested in one. I've been on the look out for a stock lip for you from a few contacts i have. If anything comes up i'll let you know.

Thanks man. I found a OEM one for 160 bucks. And the guy has quite alot of em. so im happy for that. just need to save

As for aftermarket. The only one i know is the Varis one which is 300 for black and 700 for CF Brand new. Looks cool but cant bear to spend 300 on something thats going to get abused

An OEM one for $160 is a deal, pick that up asap then. I thought you were having trouble finding one like a bunch of other Vii conversion guys have mentioned before.

Where did you see the Varis one for sale for $300 & $700?
