Finally! Im home and I got my hands on my Evo VIII
Bought an evo while I was overseas. t has been sitting in the garage for two months, until I finally made it home! Heres a few pictures.
Here is the rear from how it was purchased.

First time ever painting a set of lights, dont think i did too bad. Up close, not so good.

Here are a few downtown.




here are a few at night. Some black car was following me ;-)

Can you even see the light through those tails? You must have used the wrong paint or something.
