How do i depimp my evo?

Heres the deal i live in a town that has sky high crime rates and i'd like to make my EVO look as much like a normal lancer as possible. I just need some pointers
Ideas are:
Get a differen spoiler and sell the carbon fiber one (I know how to remove the old one).
Take off the words on the back that say lancer evolution, Any idea how to do this without destroying the paint?
Hide the Intercooler somehow if possible without resitricting airflow. I have no idea how to do this, any ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated! thank you!

paint the intercooler flat black.

paint your brake calipers black

take off your wing and replace it with nothing.

get evo 7 tails or some non-altezza tailight

have no visible gauges inside the car, use a simple steering column mounted gauge, not apillar gauges...

Use a heat gun to remove your badges, and goo-gone with some elbow grease to get rid of the rest gunk. You could use a hair dryer as well, it would just take longer.

+1 on spraying the intercooler flat black

+1 on not replacing the wing with anything

+1 on evo7 tails, or get overlays

+1 on spraying calipers black

Tint your windows

Spray your wheels black as well.

Sure you don't NEED it. I just found that way to be super easy. You can pull them off by hand after you heat them up. That's how I do it anyway.
