Traded in my '05 blue Mazda 6 on Saturday for a new '10 WW Evo X GSR. My '03 Evo VIII passed away on christmas of '07 and now I finally got my baby back, only newer and better. Below are some pics of the Evo (let me know if the pics don't work, because i haven't uploaded any in a couple years). Already debadged it and painted the Mitsu emblems flat black.
Soon to come...
Debating between the OEM Aero kit or the Chargespeed CF kit, HKS Hi-Power exhaust, Invidia downpipe/high flow cat, ETS intake, 20% tints, eibach springs (for the meantime...Tein mono-flex eventually), and powdercoating the wheels flat black.
Comments/opinions please

I actually purchased new OEM emblems (Mitsubishi gave me them at 50% of price when i bought the car) and just painted them with Rust-Oleum flat black spray paint. If you have a steamer or hair dryer, you could use that to melt the adhesive and easily peel the emblem off. Then you would just need to buy new adhesive at autozone or pepboys or some hardware store and cut it to the shape of the emblem. I live in a apt. complex and my car is in a gated parking garage so i had no source of power to use heat so i just peeled them off with Goo-Gone and fishing line.
