I bought my Octane Blue Evo X about a month ago. The previous owner put a carbon fiber wing on the back, but it is cracked (dont know how this happened, bought the car from a dealership). But have been looking at some replacements from Seibon. Was wondering with the Octane blue if I should go ahead and get the hood as well. Wondering about personal preferences of others and maybe some images of some X's with a seibon or other (name Manufacturer) of carbon fiber hood.

So far I have
--Installed K&N Typhoon intake
--Have test pipe on the way
--HKS Cat back exhaust already installed
--HIDs are on the way
--JDM fogs already installed
--getting wheels powdercoated

So mostly visual enhancements thus far but tuning is coming as soon as I get test pipe on and can take it to VA Beach.

Thanks for your responses.

 

You wouldn't have happened to gotten that Evo from Harrisonburg Mitsubishi would you? If so, I think that's my old Evo.

Edit: If it has a DNX6990HD NAV system, and you mention the spoiler being cracked + your location, then yeah I'm 100% sure that's my old one.

The spoiler started to blister like that probably 8 months after I bought it. I contacted the company to see if they could fix it, but never could get any answer out of them so I just gave up on it. For reference, the company that made and painted it for me was PVRMOTORSPORTS and was part of a group buy on the "other forum". Doesn't help with a replacement, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

Let me know if you have any other questions about it.

 

I did get it from harrisonburg Mitsubishi. What all had you done? Has it had a tune? Any kind of info you have for me, how it was driven etc.

 

I was the second owner - picked it up at around 11,000 miles so obviously can't say what the previous owner did.

It had a cobb AP stage 2 LWG tune for a very short period - less than 3000 miles. I took it back to stock because I didn't like how much my gas mileage seemed to drop since it was my daily driver. I also didn't really notice much of a performance gain. I was also paranoid about knock and boost levels, so I kept an eye on those during this time. The car has never overboosted or gone into limp mode during my ownership.

I never took it to any track and the only mods besides the AP was a Cobb SF intake and TurboXS catback. It also has a TWM short shifter installed, but that was before me.

The clutch was replaced roughly 2,000 miles after I got it - so I'm going to assume the previous owner burned through it as I've never launched the car. Catalytic converter was replaced under warranty around the 30,000ish mile mark due to one of the shields on it breaking.

Kept up with all the oil changes and I had to argue with the dealership to do the 30,000 mile service on it as they refused to believe me that the manual calls for it. Also did the 60,000 mile service right before I traded it in.

I live about an hour west from Staunton and I go to Staunton/Covington/Roanoke quite a bit, and I've never seen another Evo X or anyone on here from this area. I find it pretty ironic that the first one I find close to here is actually my old one.

 

I have a buddy that lives 5 minutes from me that has a 2010 ww Gsr. You should come hang out sometime. We are always looking for more people to chill.
