Thank you kindly for all the positive words.
After some work I FINALLY got the JDM headlights working. I ended up pulling the OEM USDM headlight harness off and placing on the new JDM housing. I have aftermarket HIDs so I didn't want to do any more work to find an OEM HID setup. These are either GSR or RS JDM headlights, so they don't have the fog light setup, which I like.
The new authentic VII tails are looking sharp as well!

VERY happy with how the car has been setup. I got the new Volk center caps with matching lug nuts as well, so I'm officially calling the car cosmetically "done". I don't really have anything else planned or have any ideas. This is pretty much what I would want from ANY Evo IX. My only other initial idea was to upgrade the current suspension setup (MR Bilstein/Swift) to an Ohlins Coilover setup. With the new 18" wheel, I'd like the car just a tad lower, and I'd really like to have the amazing street setup that Ohlins offers in their setups. But that's more mechanical, and not totally a cosmetic thing. A big thanks again to all those that have seen the car and vouched for it here and for all those that have commented on it. It's been an awesome ride thus far!

For the fourth year in a row now, I've attended the All-Mitsubishi Cookout held here in Ramsey, Minnesota at the Ramsey Central Park. A great event put on by some great people! For the fourth year in a row now, my WW Evo IX has placed in the CT9A class, which to me was such a HUGE honor, especially with all the great Evo VIII and IXs that attended this year.

Car had NO issues making the over 400+ mile journey too and from the car show. The car immediately got cleaned up when I got it home. As I've stated in the previous posts, I don't have any further plans for the car, other just drive and enjoy it! I'm more than happy with the looks, style, lines and power of the car. It's been a blast to own.
