New 14 MR owner!

Hey everyone! Just purchased a 14 WW MR. I came from a couple of STI's and wanted to try something different. I've been looking everywhere for 14 WW MR with leather and nav but no dice. Settled on one with leather at least. Car was tastefully modded and after a PPI from a big tuning shop in CT, I bit and made the purchase. Car is currently getting some work done and will go for a tune. Can't wait to drive this and learn more here.

Car was picked up after a big winter storm and while it was stored inside, it couldn't help but get some snow all over hahaha

After taking it to the shop, looks like good quality parts were used

ETS 3" FMIC
ETS open dump downpipe
ETS catted pipe
ETS intake
AMS UICP
Invidia Q300
Swift Springs
AEM boost and A/F gauges mounted on A-pillar

Previous owner had a VTA bov but I'm switching to a Tial QRJ now. Besides a dented oil pan, nothing major really needed with the car. The little cosmetic things I wanted to do with an MR were done already- the black vents, oem big wing, window visors, mud flaps. The tuner shop says that it was probably owned by an enthusiast before and well taken care of. I've been trying to track the PO on the forums but haven't come across this car yet.

Quick question. The front lip and rear bumper extensions, are those oem? They were offered as an option? The front looks very agressive so not sure if its oem. Reason being is that i might want to swap front bumpers or get a new one. I'm still thinking if I'm going to keep the canards on or not. Looks a little too agressive for my tastes.

Great looking car, looks well taken care of.

Your front lip is not OEM. I can't tell for sure about your bumper from the picture. My car has Exterior Package so here is a couple of pictures of mine. Hope they help you out. Enjoy your evo.

Thanks for the pic. Yeah. Looks like mine has an aftermarket kit. Front is very aggressive. The back looks decent with some black trim

I was looking at your trunk it looks like you have two spoiler/wing. Small original MR lip and the larger GSR Wing. Interesting the previous owner had them both on. I agree your front looks really mean and aggressive.

yeah. I just noticed that too. I thought he/she might have swapped trunks with someone but looks like they just bought the wing.

Well I guess you have all the options available with that setup a wing and a spoiler. I like the your lip, but for me it looks to aggressive as well. Whatever your choice is you got good platform. Enjoy!
