Badly modified suspension? Whats wrong with tein h-tech springs? The fmic is stock and def hasnt been painted. Mesh is perfectly intact, with nothing wrong with it. The aftermarket lip and 3 stickers are the only things i can see. The bumper fell while he had leaned up against the garage. Dont really see a crappy car here?

They're arguably the absolute worst thing one can do to the suspension.
You realize this is impossible, as the stock FMIC certainly isn't black. One can even see the chipping in the finish and the metal underneath.
In the first pic, it's obvious the undertray is missing. It look like the mesh is gone, too. Glad I was wrong. Don't really know how one would explain all the rock chips on the FMIC.
What does that mean? 
No one said it was a crappy car. I said that is does not "doesn't look molested." I should have also mentioned the car having an aftermarket exhaust. Don't get so defensive. You're much better off knowing what you have and how it relates to the platform you chose. Have you had the car checked out by a shop the specializes in Evolutions? It really should be your first step. Second step, perhaps a real suspension. 
Good luck.

The car defintely has black mesh like every mr comes with, the front mount intercooler isnt black. When i look at my mr i see a silver fmic, i guess when you look at the pictures of my mr you see black. Maybe its because you're looking at it from an angle. Im not really sure whats wrong with an aftermarket apexi exhaust and downpipe, maybe thas also arguably the worse mod i could have done as well. And what do u mean dont get defensive? Why would you come on this forum to tell me my car is crap, you cant even see what you're talking about and the majority of ur comments are innaccurate. The car has 26k miles on it and has seen the dealership for every service, plus its warranty is still good til november.
you clearly said "crap" at the end of ur first post. Arguably is a good word to describe the feeling toward h-tech springs, as ive seen multiple post around the site that are definite areguments.

Those springs are in fact "crap" for the amazing Bilstein struts the car comes with. In other words doing the car more harm than good
There are many good spring options for the OEM Bilsteins. Those TEIN's not being one of them. Look into GT Worx or Swift options then give yourself a pat on the back
Yes, and I told you what was meant by it. Do you just want to argue for the sake of arguing?
You registered one whole day ago. Stop by the suspension forum. 
How about you actually read what I write instead of trying to put words in my mouth. Again, I commented on this car not being unmolested. Clearly, it's been modified. Seeing how you chose not to even address going to an Evo shop to have the car checked out and retuned, I wish you ruts-a-ruck. 
Edit: You've piqued my curiosity. Can you briefly explain how the "majority" of my comments are inaccurate? I said the car has no undertray. It doesn't have one. I said the car has a screwed up suspension. It is equipped with the worst possible springs sold for this car; 50/50 chance the struts need to be rebuilt. I said the car has a scraped aftermarket lip. It does. Self-evident. I said the car has an aftermarket exhaust. It does. I said the FMIC looks painted and chipped. It does, at least in the posted pics. If you would like to post another, please do. While you take another pic, please also explain what it is that you're hoping to prove.

I understand that there are better springs that could have been put on this car, and i will replace them in the futur, maybe even the undertray.
...but how is my car molested?
As I suggested earlier, you really may want to take it to a shop that specializes in Evolutions so that you know what you've bought. But, what do I know? I've only seen hundreds upon hundreds on new used-Evo owners come on the forum and weeks later find things about their cars never previously imagined. At the very least have someone log the thing. You have no idea how it was modded before it was sold, and how it was tuned.
You made inaccurate accusations of a painted and chipped fmic...
And is ur sole purpose in life to come on an evo site and bash another person's car that u dont know or never met?
Thank you for your "help" buddy and have a nice day.
