One of the cleanest '03 evos I have ever seen, props! How come you decided to go with the Kelfords vs the new HKS cams designed for this turbo? I'm looking into getting the turbo as well, and your dyno numbers confirmed my decision

It definitely looks good the way it sits! The more I look at it it's honestly hard to say which would look better without seeing the JDM lights on the car. I almost never like the USDM headlights on an 8 or 9 but they look good on yours. I think they add some nice contrast to the red paint and carbon fiber pieces. The only other reason I would go with the JDMs is they would match the sidemarkers and tail lights. Either way you go I think the car will still look hot!

red is my least favorite color of a car. (which is why I painted mine) but this looks great...

Only thing I would do it black out the headlights and nose chop!

LOOKS GREAT!!! and nice numbers!

Maybe I was looking at the wrong pics but I don't see any simplicity to that Evo. Actually looks pretty flashy to me.

Regardless a very good looking ride!

i couldve gone the full voltex kit or any other bodykits, deep dish rims,aggressive stance etc etc...... but maintaining the evo's true form is nice!

thanks!
