I believe I'm finished for now
I didn't want to post pics of the car until I had it where I wanted to be. Took me a week and a half to get everything straightened out but I'm pretty happy....for now
. I ended up swapping trunks with a guy who had just bought his white Evolutuion VIII RS. That was a definitely a blessing. I also swapped out the factory tail lights for Evo VII tails as well as replaced the cheap looking factory head unit for an Alpine unit. I also just lowered the car a couple nights ago. Everything on the "To Do" list has been checked off.
The car is definitely slow compared to what I'm used to(12.4 at 115mph SS, 12.7 at 106mph WRX), but either late this year or early next year I'll be looking for simple bolt-ons. I'll be happy with low 12s on stock turbo, stock IC, on pump gas(93). The car feels really solid. I absolutely love the leather Recaros. The sunroof and Infinity speakers are definitely a nice treat. There are plenty of things I hate about the car but I'll get used to them after time. Again, I'm pretty happy with it. It's definitely going to allow me to drive my dog around more comfortably. This is a great well-rounded vehicle that suits my needs perfectly.

i sat in a leather the other day, hope you don't live in socal, it was SOOO hot, burning me and i had to open the door to breathe. maybe it was because it was a black evo too.
seems you have a lil somethin' missin' on back hehe.
hmm... does the leather ever feel kinda thin? cuz that's the impression i got.

I just picked up my white 04. I thought about the leather but after 4-5 yrs leather always seem to crack. Hopefully they won't though.
The car looks good, and the fish is cool.

Those are some nice lookin' seats. I think the UK Evo wording looks best on the rear and I love the 7 lights...
And I say keep the fish. If people can slap Advan, Tein, and C-West stickers on their EVO, surely nobody should complain about the Christian symbol.
