Do yourself a favor: keep it.
Having a paid off car is a huge advantage and the "would be payments" can be used toward all those extra bells and whistles that you want.
Think about it in a rational way rather than emotional.
You will thank me in the morning.

If I get a 2012 I can get all the features I want i.e. have a factory warranty now (yeah i know all the BS with mitsubishi's warranties), new gauges, folding/heated side mirrors, leather seats, real time traffic in the gps, usb port, green shift light, economy mode, rear park assist, 6cd changer, moon roof, (yes i know some of these are not new to the evo but i dont have it in my current one) down side is its gunna cost $42K, and I cant do work on it for like at least another year.
so what do i do keep it or get the new one?

Heres some of the main reasons I dont want to keep the 08':
1.some drunk idiot backed into it almost 1 week after i bought the car and now the front bumper and fender dont match the original paint.
2. white looks so much nicer
3. i like the new display a lot better ( if i could get the new display on my 08' i'de probably keep it).
4. i hate the fact that i know my car isnt in perfect condition because of the accident
5. im guessing the 2012 is the very last year for the evo x, and it'd be cool to have an evo of the final year they made it.
6. i have to get the 30k service done soon
7. I want a glossy white car, but idk if i'll be satisfied with a white vinyl wrap for my red car

why didn't you just have the body shop fix the paint if it didn't match?
the new cluster can be put into the car, the dealer needs to reflash or something to make it work, search for it.
you'll have to eventually get the 30k mile service on the new car, not only that but you'll have a bigger loan.
everyone said the '11 was the last year, no one knows when it will be except for mitsubishi lol
if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, pay for a nice paint job and call it a day, it will probably last longer than the awesome mitsu paint.

Well really think about it - you already have the car almost payed off and can start modding it soon. Believe me when i say that once you start modding the evo, its a night a day difference. All the other changes that you want could be had aftermarket. Yeah a Brand New 2012 sounds like a good idea but think about how much more money your going to be spending. On that note, if you have the money to splurge and the purchase won't hurt your wallet or cause you to stress about payments, then i say go ahead and do it (not a wise financial move but hey..).
Besides, Red with carbon fiber when not overdone looks so damn good.

Totally!
Track it. Use it. Mod it. Everything you mentioned is mostly cosmetics. Once you've actually USED the car, you'll have more fun modding it.

It's not a ferrari-like exotics, and basically 08 and 2012 look the same. I wouldn't do it. If 15000 means little to you, do it.
Think about it with a different perspective, OP is stimulating the US economy. Way to go!
