5 years after...

Bought the car in april of 2008.

Have pretty much every "upgrade" the evo has had thru the years except the colored cluster.

USDM Air guides installed on JDM Crash Beam.

Nice ride. Super clean. Btw, are those bumper extensions, caps, etc, on your rear bumper? In the third pic, there seems to be a "ridge" on the bottom of the corner of your rear bumper while the stock is just completely flat. If it is an extension, what kind is it? It flows very well.

i believe you are referring to the rear air dam. it is part of the aero kit for the evo. i just bought those actually too as car did not come with the factory aero kit in 2008. i used to have the rexpeed cf one but sold those and got OEM ones.

Yeah, that part. How did the Rexpeed ones fit (looking for good fitting CF ones)? Thanks....and again, very nice and clean look you got.

Looks great! Can you post up a pic with the hood down? I want to see the over all look. Someday I'll get a chance to attend one of them Chicago meets to see these nice evos up close. I never see any around up by me anymore.
