It doesn't look like you have done much to your exterior at all. I like flat black but not on your car and not from a spray can. Blue being my favorite color I would stick with what you got. Give it a really nice detail, a carbon lip, nose chop, jdm rear, and possibly new wheels.
Wheels are a bit of a weird thing for me. I love concave wheels!!! I haven't seen a true set on an evo yet. I've seen concave in the center almost all the way out to the lip then it convex at the lip. I've seen MB Battles IIRC that concave out to the lip, but they don't really concave enough. Maybe it's our brake set up that doesn't allow this, but I haven't been serious about it.
BBY with tint. Love BBY, and you can't go wrong with black and blue. Maybe some different wheels if you're looking to switch things up.
I do have a question though.
Obviously you know a thing or two about plasti dip. I dipped my rear emblems a while back and was kinda careless and got some "overspray" on the rear bumper. Its too spread out to get all by hand...I mean I could, but that's a pain...Would a clay bar take off these specks? Or should I just go ham and spray all the way across the bumper where the spots are then peel it off?

BBY with 35% tint.
Leave the front fenders and hood Matte black though
Or, maybe leave the lip black. Just curious to see how it looks.
Oh, and the mirrors matte black too hehe

That gives me an idea. I'll take off sections at a time and see how it looks. It definitely had a unique look when I had a blue roof, hood and trunk.

I'm slowly getting there. I'm just too busy 
A bit dirty.
I have Platidip on the wheels too. I took it off the lip on one wheel. Now I remember why I did the wheels. The pitting on the lip looks terrible.

Looks great! Cops in Southern CA not giving you trouble? I'd love 5% tint. I think I'll have to go 35% all around and maybe front 4" windshield strip in 35%. What kind of suspension are you running?

Maybe if they were more aggressive. What are you going with? It's a secret I'm looking at a true concave wheel setup. I haven't seen it on our cars yet.
You need:
Wheels
Nose chop Thought about it. Why on Earth would Mitsubishi decide on the nose?
Carbon Lip I'm shopping for one of those now, except I don't know about carbon. Am I the only one who's not interested in CF?
Carbon Ducts Is this purely aesthetic?
Big Intercooler I have one ready to go in the shop
JDM RearI'll have to wait on a deal for this.

lol I'm sure other cops not so close to base (further north) would ***** more. Either way I'm moving soon and it's legal where I'm going
