Evo newbie

Hey everyone. My names Brent McKinney. I'm from a smaller town in wa called Moses lake. I just bought a 2003 evo viii. I've been trying
to find one that had lower miles and super clean within my price range. When I first saw an evo, I was in love. Now that I finally have one it just makes life all that much better. It's my first turboed car. I had a 2002 celica gts before. I liked it a lot but I sold it to pay off bills so I could get an evo. My car was owned by a military guy before me. So it has super low miles which was one of the selling points to me. It's the lightning yellow. It has a few mods. Injen cai and uicp. It has a 3" dp with greddy 3" cb exhaust. 18" volk gt-v's. APR carbon fiber mirrors. I don't want to make huge power with it, I just want to give it a little more umph. Any suggestions? also is there anything I should watch out for? Thanks everyone.

Hey thanks for the link. I'll post some pics when I get to a pc. I'm doing
everything from my iPhone and I don't think I can post pics from it. Yeah i'm justvlooking for any mods really. I want the GSC S1 268 cams and a tune with a good clutch kit. But mainly just dress up stuff for it. I don't daily it. It's my garage car so I can do things to the outside without having to worry about it much. I love carbon fiber so if anybody knows of a good site for that let me know.

Possibly a hood, lip, side skirts, and I want to get the jdm rear bumper with the rexpeed rear diffuser. I would like a carbon trunk too but my wife likes the wing. She doesn't like the wingless look like I do.
