How are you all doing, My name is Rob I'm 23 and I work at P&A Auto Parts in NJ. We were a Napa Certified Dealer but are currently in the process of a change over to CarQuest. /: Been working hard to get a new car and I just picked up a 15 OB' GSR a couple weeks ago. Traded in my 05 G35 coupe and gotta say I haven't missed it once so far. Anyways I have big plans for my car cosmetically, I'm not in a rush to start bolt ons. I look forward to being active on this forum. But here is my car. Only things I've done so far is debadge the trunk and a blox neo-chrome 490le shift knob to help get some of the notchiness out of the shifting. I love it so far.

 

Welcome to the forum, and enjoy the Evo! I'm in nj too!

 

Thanks I'm glad to be part of the evo fam now. literally all my friends have evos so at least this spring I can ride to evo vs Sti in my own car with them

 

Welcome I like the OB, any plans for your seats or are you going to rock the stock ones?

 

Thank you. I know everyone hates the seats that come in the 15' but I don't mind them. I have a bad back from a car accident I was in at work and I can drive a long distance in these and not be stiff getting out. I do plan on swapping the seats but I'm in no rush I figure next winter and add a 4 point harness at the same time. I already started buying simple necessities like rain guards hids leds for the interior and exterior, the lights instead of chrome vents on the fenders and stuff like that.

 

Welcome! Best of luck with your evo!

 

What HIDs did you go with?

 

Thank you (:

 

Kensun 3000k 35w for fogs (first time trying kensun) and I bought a kit from carxenonhidkits.com 6000k 55w for low beams I've ordered from them for my girlfriends Porsche and my G and i have nothing but nice stuff to say they even overnighted me 2 new bulbs when one from my kit was defective

 

Hmmmm... Carxenonhidkits.com huh? PLEASE update this when you have them installed. I have never heard of them and usually everyone on here tells me DDMtuning is the place to go for the HID kits but after reviewing the carxenonhidkits.com and reading their products i am convinced this actually might be the way to go considering they actually sell a kit and it is guaranteed no flickering. again, let me know how this goes! I BADLY hate, hate, HATE my halogen headlights. I still don't know wtf mitsubishi was thinking when they put these crappy headlights into a nearly 40k car.

 

Definitely will do I'm waiting a little while to put them in cause my mechanic will let me do it all for free so I want to do a lot of stuff at once. I was nervous the first time I ordered from them but after buying 4 different kits so far I'm happy with them and their customer service is great. And I know right I really despise the halogens I thought projectors were common courtesy nowadays smh. I bought these kits for now then eventually I'll have Ben or someone do up some depo lights for me

 

Nice. Thanks. I want to do HIDs but having found a good product, or an installer. Keep us posted please.

 

Will do they aren't going in until around Christmas tho just to let you guys know I'm waiting on some more parts. I'll post install pics too

 

I want a new shift knob too, but I heard it messes with the synchros?

Welcome to Evom tho. First time evo owner here too. 15 .. Wish I got OB tho, had to settle with red.

 

Thanks (: I thought the red looked great too blue is just my favorite color so I had to get it. They also had 11 white gsrs when I went lmao I didn't read anything about it messing up syncros so honestly I don't know but it improved the notchiness 100% I got the little blox sock for when it's cold too it comes in handy
