Shaved evo 8/9 engine bay?

Hey bros, lol.

I remember seeing some evo 8/9 engine bays cleaned up and shaved. I want to say the Norris design evo did some work, but I know there are others but I cannot seem to find pics. Can anyone show me some? We have a customer that wants to do it on their car and I want to get some ideas for it. It's much harder for me since I don't own an evo, but I was the first ever to do it to a subaru. Here is my personal car, so you get the idea.



More pics here:

Thanks in advance!

Breathtaking - Here's what I googled for "Norris Design Evo Engine Bay"

Seems like they don't hold a candle to your work though.

There is a green two door evo they did with the 4g63 mounted sideways, that was the car I was referring to. That one car is nice though, fender tubs always look good.

I remember seeing another car where they shaved it, but I can't remember what color it was.

^that sounded sarcastic lol. It's all good though. Research me, D Money.

At any rate, this guy did a good job. I would just move the fuse box into the driver front fender area.

Not really. The wiring generally doesn't need to get extended on the evo. Just some re-wrapping and re-routing so you can't see them. The fuse box doesn't need to be extended, just moved so that helps out alot.

biggest issue for us evo guys is the huge motor mount on the passenger side wheelwell... huge eyesore! if there was a way to fabricate another motor mount that was hidden and then smooth out the wheelwell, then it would be gorgeous
