Another New Guy

Hi everyone. Just picked up a TB Evo IX SE last week. Bought in Maplewood, MN with 16,xxx miles. Clean history. Previous owner was a dentist with a midlife crisis. Existing mods are a catback and a K&N air filter. Feels good to finally be a part of the Evo community. I've waited a long time for this car to come along.

Ehh I kind of like it. Would look nicer if it was darker and closer to black with a redish hint, imo.

Agreed and surprising for a dentist with a midlife crisis.

eh... nice SE!

Was this car on the Cars.com or autotrader??

I swear I saw it there... I been looking for a IX for some time now and it seems that all the nicely priced ones are way out on the west coast. Hard to find one around here that is not beaten up or people want an arm and leg for them. Nice car. Congrats.

if you don't mind posting.... just curious what did you pay for it??

Question: Isn't a harness setup like that actually more unsafe? I thought harnesses needed to attached to the floor to make them safe. Been a while since I've read SCC though (6? years) where they always talked about it.

Nope, didn't do it. Bought it like that. It'll be easy enough to get a different grill for the summer. Easy enough fix for such a nice car IMHO.
