I'm sure the intake/exhaust will net some power. A lot of people report gains without a tune with those. After they tune is when they get the real potential out of them. Get some nice wheels. You don't need much else with what you got. You might want to find out a way to fix or remove the CF where the grill is. It's starting to oxidize.

Looks pretty good. I would get a nice set of aggressive wheels and fix the CF pieces. Oh yea, and take those stickers off.

I saw someone post with their 2011 made 256whp stock, and with a drop in panel filter and a tune was back up to the crank rating of just a hair under 300whp.

No idea what you were driving before, but compared to past turbo cars I've had, the Evo felt really linear and smooth, so my butt-dyno wasn't impressed, but when I started paying attention to how fast I was entering a freeway I realized it was just because of the mivec working so well off-boost.

The wheels look good IMO. Bronze on white is always win, and the style is not a stereotype fitment. De-sticker is a good plan too, but it is clean Congrats!

Those wheels are sick! I'm loving em

Nice pick up, it seems that you already have an idea of where to take this car.

+1 on the roof vinyl

Congrats on the purchase! I just picked up a WW too I think those wheels look great, you should leave them. Not a huge fan of carbon fiber, but the white and black combo still looks great!

+10 on stickers and wheels. Not feeling the wheels but I think if you change them it will be real good looking. Love the painted front lip on WW to match the black center.
