I've had this car for a little over a year and it has come a long way since! A friend got a few nice pictures of it before and during a drive we went on a couple week ago so I thought I would share, I hope you guys like it as much as I do

Very nice! Really makes me want a SE front lip

What wheels are those? Specs?

 

Yeah the SE lip is great! It's a nice bonus that it still comes from the factory painted WW too. The wheels are Volk ZE40s in bronze, 18x9.5 +22

Wheels look amazing on it !

 

Clean

 

Does the SE lip still come painted WW? Might have to pick one up then.

The wheels look amazing! Any fender work required?

Do you have any rock chips on your front-end? It looks flawless and it is making me jealous although it might just been hard to see them through pictures.

 

Beautiful example of a clean WW IX! What's your current power and set up?

 

Thanks! The rear fenders are worked pretty hard but are not flared or pulled. Nothing done to the fronts. This is definitely on the edge of what you can run on a stock body and still drive/tire the car appropriately.

The wheels do not clear the stock brakes though, however I have Evo X front brakes so they clear just fine!

There are a few very small chips on the hood and one on the bumper that you can't see unless you're close to the car. Not perfect, but if it was perfect I would probably be scared to actually drive it lol. And yes, the SE lip actually only comes in white from the dealer, no other flavor!

QFT.

When I dreamed of owning an Evo it was always a IX with a 6 Speed

 

Yup. I hate you both (in an internet jealousy kind of way).

 

Very very nice

 

Just needs a jdm rear and it's perfection!
