Did you paint the wheels while on your car or did you paint your axle+nut? Might as well paint the center caps too.

Looks nice. I agree on the front bumper but its not my car.

Wow i dislike every feature about it, just too much going on at once, and eyelids? and stock wheels painted black? Not my style at all but as long as you like it i guess thats what counts.

Out of all the spoilers out there... the Evo VII spoiler is the best... why did you replace it? If you didnt replace it, maybe you should invest a few more bucks on getting one. The Evo VII is adjustable and makes the car look more aggressive. My car is stock, but the spoiler looks way better than the VIII and IX.



And the stock VII lights are better, also:

well 2 b honest..an adjustble spoiler is the last thing on my list if things to blow my money on..the 9 spoiler and tails were on it wen i bought it also..i wouldnt want red ones anyway...now im looken at the 7 bumper a bit closer i wouldnt mind 1, but theres a fair few 7's going around these parts, so im glad mine looks different, and iv neva really had anyone whos seen it in person tell me they dont like it..maybe its just like one of them pretty girls who always looks horrible in photos that's my rationalization anyway..and im sticking to it haha

Don't let others try to bully you into changing your look. If you like it, then stick with it. Most Evo VII owners I have met or spoken to have decided to keep their car looking mostly stock...

...I am going to be changing out my rims soon. I have had people tell me to leave the stock EVO VII rims... and I like them... but, they are too HIGH maintenance to clean. So, I am going for something quite a bit easier. Boils down to this... who's car is it, anyway? Let others do whatever they want to THEIR Evo... and I will do what I want to mine.

I like the body kit on your Evo. I prefer the stock one better (my taste). To each his own!

I agree put a stock or a chopped nose 8 on it and scrap all the extra add on body pieces. itll be badass. The body kit looks like a fast and furious knockoff.
