What's up guys!? Picked up a 2014 Evo GSR with 11,000 miles on it about 2 weeks ago and waited to post until I got my wheels and suspension put on. Let me know what you think! It's nice to meet everyone and i'll be sure to post more as things get added.
If you are wanting to keep it looking new, suggest a clear bra for the front / most way up the hood, the passenger and driver door and some of the rear fender. These things pick up damage when a small mouse looks at them sideways. Looks great, enjoy!

Thanks for the tip and compliment man! I was thinking the same thing. Already very very tiny stone chips on the front. You have to be looking to see them but on a black car, I'm sure it doesn't take long for them to accumulate. Is the dealership a place that would offer the clear bra install?
Welcome! Nice car, def. looks like you keep it really clean. With the wheel/suspension setup you have are your fenders rolled? and do you plan on getting a wider tire setup in the future?

Fenders are NOT rolled and I have no rubbing issues whatsoever with this setup. haha I have probably spent 20 hours in the last week just reading about different wheel & suspension setups on these forums that will avoid having to roll the fenders. I know it's not a big deal when you have to do it but the thought of getting a heat gun anywhere near the paint on my car sends shivers down my spine.
I can't thank the evolutionnm community enough for taking the time to share there insights and experiences with the rest of us on here. If you take the time to do some digging in the forums, you can find the answer to pretty much any evo related question. Thanks again!

Yea i figured since you were on stock tires there wouldnt be any rubbing. Ive done the same research as you as far as figuring out what may or may not rub. I also get the same "shivers" thinking about having the fenders rolled lol. I guess i may be too picky in that aspect, but like you thinking about someone taking a heat gun to the fenders and prying on them is going to be my last case scenario(I wont do it myself, although i wish i could bc i dont trust many with my cars).
Anyways, the car looks great! Mine is PB as well, great color choice. Enjoy the car and have fun with it!
Post some pics EvoXer0! I know exactly what you mean. Rolling or messing with the fenders in any way was an absolute last case resort for me. My only concern is the fact that my tires aren't new. Still some tread but they will need to be changed at some point in the near future. I'm debating between staying at stock 245/40/18 or going 265/35/18's. Any input from other members on whether or not the 265's will cause rubbing issues (other then at full lock)?
