Hey its me again making another thread on my evo. This time we decided to finally pull the trigger and shave the bay and some what tuck. We decided to go with a Kandy purple color using a aluminum base to get it to POP under sunlight. The motor and trans had to be pulled out to do some refreshing and modifications to it so why not go ahead and tackle the shaving that has been planned for years..perfect opportunity to do it all at once.

I had a close friend of mines help me with the project. Hes a former painter/body shop owner soooo he knows his sh** lol. He did his last s2000 paint and is currently working on shaving his FD RX7 with a 2j and his turbo e36.. should be fun

We didn't take any short cuts on this project and pretty much got it to the way we wanted with smoothness and color choice. Couldn't be any happier!! Hopefully i can get into some magazines with this years setup.. making it this years GOAL!

Awesome workmanship!

 

Nice work man! Must have been fun to do, especially seeing the end result.

 

Wow loving the colour, and like the new clean look bay. Can't wait to see the next instalment

 

What did you end up doing with the fuse box?

 

THANKS EVERYONE.. still waiting on doing a couple more thing and dropping in my modified tucked harness.. wanted to get the car started first before i messed with any electrical things. PS relocation is underway along with -6 and -8 fuel return and feeds


its under the driver headlight for now..

 

Wow, looks good, great workmanship

 

I am beyond jelly. Don't think you'll have any problems making it into the magazines. Whole car should be that color. Maybe a little darker but yeah.

 

You need to delete the power steering cooler, that will clear up that pass. side apron.

 

wow soooooo sick!!!!
