C-West Eye Candy
Am I the only one that notices how crappy the fit and overall look of evos with body kits are, I am not trying to be an *** and I am sure these pics do that evo no justice but this was the only kit I was hoping would come out ok but the fit and gaps( between hood and bumper) seem to make it look really cheap and it makes it loose its rigidity and strong look, I really think we should stick to getting front lips and thats it, besides that car looks really sharp with the volks and the motor especially... Take some more pics of that kit from different angles ...

Thanks for your comments guys. As for the fit of the kit, I think it fits just as good as the OEM if not better. Pulled the kit out of the box and fit it to the car w/o modifications at all, the only thing the body shop did was prep the kit for paint which was very little time at all per the body man. The kit is PFRP as well not fiberglass.
Still need to the adjust the hood a little as you can see in the 2nd pic it isn't lining up with the fender. I am gonna see if I can use any of the grill mesh from the stock bumper as it is painted black for the top piece and go w/o any over the IC as that is how I was driving around with the stock bumper on. Still haven't decided if I want to cover up the oil cooler and the other side inlet with grill mesh or not. The grill mesh that came with the kit is pretty flimsy so if the stock stuff doesn't work I am gonna try and find something that has bigger holes than what is on there now.
Also, I will be doing blacked out head lights soon and getting the windows tinted.
