This is post #2 for me aside from my newbie intro. The short of it, I'm a new EVO owner, first time, background in rally racing and desert racing.

Just did a few camera phone pics of the new to me car. It's a 2008 GSR with the SSS package and from what I gather a bunch of DS5? carbon fiber accent pieces. GReddy Exhaust, AEM Intake, and some decent wheels...not sure how I feel about those.

Pic 1 - Carbon Roof, Vinyl, not the real deal, but it looks and feels cool.



Pic 2 - This is where I get the impression the DS5 is the brand on the CF stuff, I'm new to EVO's so I know jack.



Pic 3 - Think I'd rather have a black wheel.



Pic 4 - The carbon front piece is failing, I think I can get it fixed though.



Pic 5 - The money shot.



Pic 6 - No idea what flawless rides is. Stickers are going bye bye anyways



Pic 7 - Rear View



So what do ya think? I personally think I'll enjoy this one alot. Very decent car, nice sound system, AWD, turbo, yay!

Only downside, insurance jump was $100 over my old car....yikes

Hope my giddyness isn't too transparent.

Very nice... pretty normal for insurance to go up on EVO ...on the transparent side...you kinda went toward the direction ROYGBIV..

definitely remove the stickers..

 

What kinda whp do these things put down stock like this? I know it has the bolt on exhaust and intake but I can't imagine those do a ton.

 

Looks Good!

 

Ditching the stickers is a good idea... I'd suggest a wheel with a lower offset, but other than that it looks pretty good. Congrats on the new car.

 

wicked white ftw! congrats.

 

I speak offset and backspacing pretty well, but when you say lower...which way are you talking?

 

Stock nothing else (mitsubishi)...295hq and 300tq. Its lower than that..definitely get tuned and you'll know for sure.

 

Looks good.

+1 on stickers.

Congrats on the new car!

 

nice! congrats on the pick up!

 

Looks good! I wasn't a huge of the X's when they came out, but they are starting to grow on me. Especially the wicked whites.

 

congrats and welcome to the club

 

Looks alright, take off stickers, sell those wheels and buy a more aggressive set.

 

Looking good. What are your plans for the car?

 

Drive it, enjoy it.

Might change a couple things here and there. I'd definitely like to change out the wheels. This is my daily, so keeping it in good shape and reliable will be key.
