New from SoCal

Hi guys!

I've been a long time follower of EvoM and joined up last December, but didn't post until now. So I guess a quick introduction is in order.

*Ahem*

I'm a college student and I live in So Cal (LA area) and I drive an 06 Evo 9. I've owned the car for a little more than a year. My cousin gave handed it down to me New Years Day of 2010. Since then it's been my daily driver. I'm pretty familiar with modding/tuning. I drove a 2000 Prelude before the Evo which had some minor work done to it. But I'm not incredibly knowledgeable. So I'm here to hone my skills and ask for advice!

Some quick facts about my Evo. Uh, I'm a pretty big aero guy. Usually, it's the first thing I do, then suspension, and then engine work. I did some interior work, very minor. Even though it's an Evo which can be considered pretty far from "ricer", I feel like the work I've done to it makes it look pretty "ricey", esp with the gauges on the A-pillar. Which is not what I'm going for. You be the judge I guess lol.

Here's a few pics.



I use the JDM plate as a censor so I don't have to go back and blur out the US plate. Easier this way I think.


Ignore the different bumper in this one. I switched it out back to the stock because it was riding WAY too low.








Looking forward to talking with you guys in the future!

Car definitely needs to go back to the OEM bumper with a APR splitter or a Voltex front bumper. Wheels need to be more aggressive to bring a balance between the wing and front bumper(which is ugly to say the least). Other than that the car doesn't look too bad Welcome btw You might want to get a larger FMIC to fill the huge gap of a aftermarket front bumper. The mudflaps look a bit "off" as well as far as the "flow/direction" that you're going with the car. Once those are all taken care of, then you should have a nice track "looking" monster



edit: I saw that you said you switched it back to the stock bumper so that's a plus haha

I've been trying to get my hands on an APR wind splitter, but apparently they've been on back order for a bit. I kinda like the mudflaps being a bit "off" gives it a unique look. Maybe it's just me lol.
