Car looks great man! Both setups are very clean! I like the RPF1s better then the X wheels but both look great. If you dont mind me asking, what are the specs on the black RPF1s when you had them?

The RPF1s were 17x8.5 +30 with yokohama s.drives 255s
99%
Solid minus the X wheels. Those dirty up an otherwise flawless ride IMO.
I fell in love with the Lancer Evolution in 2008 when I was only 18 years old. I couldn't think of anything else but buying an Evo. I had a good job working for a hardware store but I barely had any credit so of course my father had to co-sign with me. Luckily I found the car right after being bought from an auction by a private seller for $13500 and he sold it to me for only $14500. Since then I have made every single payment and paid it off a year early. It was in terrible condition though. It had a horrible two tone paint job and was slower than stock because of all terrible bolt ons it had on it. But with a lot of patience, love and money, money, money, oh did i mention money? It has become a completely different car over the years. Enough talking, here are some pictures in order.
Pictures from Cars.com Listing.
First thing I did was make sure it was running right and got tuned.
Front Lip was Must
New Paint Job and Head lights was a Must. Decided to go wingless also.
New Wheels in Tires. D2 Coilovers Looking Good!
APR rear Diffuser. Mud Flaps and JDM Tail lights!
Now in 2013. 5 years after owning my car. After being fully built with an FP red. Making a Safe 536 whp. I decided to go with my current and more sleeper, cleaner look. (Evo 9 front bumper with SE lip, EVO X wheels, Ferrari Red Powdercoated Brembos and JDM Evo 7 Tail lights) All comments will be greatly Appreciated!
