Just purchased my first "official" Evo

Hey guys I've been around for a while (2006) just never posted as I never owned a true evo. But I did own the father to the evo :P Had a 1992 Galant VR-4 with a 20b, fully built head/cams ect. But could never afford an Evo due to college/jobs just didn't pay.

But now after graduating college and finding an amazing job I was finally able to get my (affordable) dream car Saturday.

2013 Mercury Gray GSR. I love the color and wanted either Mercury Gray or Phantom Black if I couldn't get the Gray with what I wanted. Has the Sight and Sound package. I've already ordered LED upgrades for the Daytime running lights and interior lights. Next will be removing all the badges on the trunk except for "Evolution" and plastidip that and the smart key trunk button and rally armor flaps with more mods down the road.

I got the Interior lights from here http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/

and I got the LED lights for the Daytime running lights here after a lot of people off the forum suggested them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121047210520...S:1120&vxp=mtr

Yeah from what I can tell it's a lot lighter. but I've only seen the GG on the 8/9 so it's been a while.

I had problems trying to find LED's that would work with my 2013. I believe Mitsu reversed the polarity on the 2013. But I bought mine through the seller you did and they worked great. They have been running strong for almost a year now.

Yep! I did some searching and found that these worked in the 2013 so I was happy to find something that worked, and a lot of people from here could confirm and were happy with their purchase.

The seller has great communication too. When I bought my first set, they were the wrong ones. I told him and he went and checked. I guess the distributor sent him the wrong ones. So he sent me the right ones, and then sent a paid addressed envelope for me to send the original ones back, once I got the correct ones in. A highly recommended ebay seller for sure.

Yep I'm usually iffy about buying things from ebay, but seemed a lot of people had great rep about the seller so it was an instabuy as soon as I got home with my new X. Thanks by the way. I'm enjoying it so far
