GG IX SE - there's something I don't like...
 
Well, I love my car. :mitsu: This is my second evo after a BBY evo 8 and really like this one. I did little things to it on the outside, completely stock engine and interior minus an ARC shift knob.

Anyways, a buddy an I were messing around last night taking some shots of it. He isn't a pro and doesn't pretend to be so, judge the pictures accordingly.

I need some constructive criticism here. There is something about this car that doesn't look right.

I think its in the wheels. Wheels are 18x8.5 Volk CE-28 (+34 offset i believe) and tires are 235/35/18. I think the tires and rims are too narrow not finishing off the look of the car. The car has coilovers so I can adjust the hight as pleased, but I think I need wider tires and maybe some spacers. Or new rims... :D

All the pictures are pretty much the same, it was 8:00 PM so this was just an experiment. What do you all think.

Too low!

aka.ralliart15 Jan 31, 2010 05:01 PM

Look nice, I would take off the front ambers and black out the headlight a bit for a more aggressive look and get a JDM rear bumper. Also I think the front is too low compared to the back. Thats only my opinion though.

i think it looks good! but if i was to change anything, id either put stock spoiler back on and leave the bumper thats on it. or id put a jdm bumper and leave the no spoiler look. Also, id change the rim color

Turbones Jan 31, 2010 05:04 PM

i think its time for some new wheels

opjohnsmith Jan 31, 2010 05:05 PM

I would love to get a jdm bumper. That might be in the near future plans... Also thought about getting new tires and painting the rims mag blue... idk.

+28 offset on the same wheels with 255/265 tires, JDM rear bumper and stock wing

cherish that thing.... love the fact that you can afford it..... (that's my rant), oh and..... NT03's...

opjohnsmith Jan 31, 2010 05:21 PM

^ read your thread. sorry to hear you gotta get rid of the evo.

Goch Jan 31, 2010 05:34 PM

You need different tires.

MICLOIV Jan 31, 2010 05:35 PM

get matching jdm headlights, maybe blackout the red emblem instead of the bright red, the volks are very nice and if you cant afford new wider rims, just get some meatier tires (255/40) other than that shes a great looking evo my man.

opjohnsmith Jan 31, 2010 05:38 PM

Well thank you sir. I would LOVE to get a set of CCW's, but don't know how long I will keep it.

I think I am convinced to get new tires. I think it will give it a more flushed look and would make me raise the car a little.

Evokid8 Jan 31, 2010 05:42 PM

wheels needs to poke more

Tnastyevo8 Jan 31, 2010 05:45 PM

lose the evo 8 headlights, black out the front mitsu emblem,and get some meatier tires {thumbup}
great looking car overall
