That just made my screen saver at work=). Love It!!!
The vent visors will give it a nice touch as well. Not sure about the side mirror block off plates. (Drag car?)
BTW. Just purchased new wheels & tires (Hint. The wheels will be rockn 275/40/17's) Hope it comes out OK

Update on my RS Buggy
Originally bought the car w/ the original wheels w/ 235/45/17 tires
Upgraded to EVO X wheels w/ 245/35/18
Upgraded the EVO X wheels w/ 255/35/18
Been searching different aggressive wheel combination's 18’s vs 17’s / Spacers vs no Spacers for over 2 years
Sort of settled on the Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35 & was Ok running the 20mm front spacer
Settled on the ADVAN RGII 17x9 +29 w/ Nitto NT05 275/40 (No spacers)
I'm totally pleased w/ the outcome. However, fender mods are required
I was getting some slight rear bumper contact w/ the tire so I remove the rear quarter splash guard & installed an aluminum brace. I actually made the brace so its now over 1” wider than stock so the bumper is flush w/ the tire
See pic of the suspension fully stroked w/ no strut showing full steel fender clearance
Final comment. The performance pickup from the 275’s & the aggressive look is exactly what I was hoping to achieve
Let me know what you think
Peace

The red drag RS is just sweet. I can see you have removed the cast steel mustache bar
BTW. I was hoping to get your comment on my new wheel / tire upgrade????
Went out and took some pics of my IX SE today so I thought I'd post up a link to it instead of putting the pics in here since they dont really belong in here.

Minus Previous the wheel and tire set-up came out awesome
I will do something similar in a 17 when the funds allow.
Alan I am seriously jealous. Not only do you have the sickest fleet of dream evos, but look at the abs on that chick
well done
