Where would the license plate go?

What are the things in place of the fogs, decoration or intercooler piping? The IC inlet doesn't come from the side, that would make for some pretty crazy changes in routing the pipes under the hood to pull that one off... the passenger side headlight might be in the way... either way it'd be rough.

Windshield glass antenna to replace traditional antenna and leave the satellite radio base there?

Love the hood, rear diffuser/exhaust, huge front fender vents, FQ400 rear fender (bumper) vents and the Do-Luck w/ OEM spoiler look.

Looks fantastic! I'd love to see it in a wingless version w/o the Vortex thingees.

I saw this on Deviantart.com and it is one of the best Evo X designs on the net! Good job, and you are a Photoshop master in my book.

Very nice! I've always wondered what the duck bill trunk would look like with the factory wing.

Thanks for the insightful comment! I know there might be some (a lot!) inconsistencies to a real-life Evo X.
The shiny bits in the bumper are supposed to be intercooler pipes. So for now, they are just decorations, at
least to Evo owners who know better.

I got the inspiration for the front bumper from a BMW but turned it more into Mitsu look. I hope it doesn't
look TOO much like a Bmwbishi because of it.

I will check the .psd file if I can remove the wing and the vortex thingys without much hassle. I'll post a pic
if it works out when I get back home!

EDIT:

I'm having a hard time seeing BMW, so you didn't get the bmwbishi look

Wingless and antenna delete looks very clean

Funny thing is, you can get a mini satellite radio antenna and hide it, and some car manufacturers incorporate FM radio antennas into windshield glass, so you don't necessarily need a visible antenna for either.

I am aware of that, but I just like how the fin thingys look on the IX MR model so I had to incorporate that into this.

I would drive without one if I had that bodystyle, but it wouldn't be hard to put on, possibly to the side of the exhaust

You would almost need to integrate it between the tails and under the 3rd brake light somehow.

Might look funky but there would need to do it where it wouldn't look that bad...

I would say its the best looking EVO X other that Ryan Gates Blue X in my opinion.

I would send it over to some of the companies such as APR - Seibon - VIS - really any of the companies to see what they think. I would love to see APR do it just because their fit n finish is typically the best from my experience.

Dislike: front bumper, rear diffuser

Like: side view mirrors, hood, rear bumper w/ reflector delete, shark fin antenna w/ vortex generator, duck bill trunk w/ stock wing, your Photoshop skills

Thanks everyone!

Hmm, I might as well send it to those aftermarket body manucaturers. Just too see what they think!
