Thanks! I still need her to get a good interior/exterior detail before the snow comes.

I know what you mean, but with the proper maintenance and care, this car will continue looking like a gem. Besides, my first evo was driven during plenty of snow storms and you can see the pix of what it looked like when I sold it

+1, thanks. This is my daily driver although its honestly only driven on the weekends. I like the idea of keeping this thread as my own log so I'll keep updating as things happen. Thanks for subscribing!

Rusty undercarriage makes baby jesus cry I would be down to drive in snow but with how horrid the undercarriage gets because of the salt, there's no way in hell i'd drive my car in snow outside of SoCal.

It's a great part actually. The guy does a really good job of blending the paint. He sends you updates as he works on it and you can always shoot him a note with any questions. I would definitely recommend over the Orbital. I had that too and was poor quality.

Here are some pics when I first received it:

Cool, thanks for posting those. If you could rate the Orbital pieces and those pieces on a scale of 1-10, what would you give them?

Just the bottom HVAC part:
Orbital = 6.5
Cyanide = 8.5-9

Overall, the Cyanide & JDM DD panel is as close to a 10 as you can easily get online. I spent a total of $230 on these vs the ludacris price of the orbital (at the time I think it was $360?).

The car has unfortunately been sitting for the last week and I haven't had time to clean it so sorry for the dirty pix! I installed the new jdm tails, amber markers and window vents, as well as removing the tint as I prefer the fishbowl look.
