Yeah so I noticed that after I bugged out. No offense to anyone with an evo but I wanted to start small and work my way up big, aka meaning I wanted to do all the work myself and not have it already done. Granted I would love to own an evo, but this is my first new car I want to learn some stuff. I think this is a hell of an improvement over what I had before. I was rocking an 88 chevy cavalier before I intentionally blew it up and had an excuse for my grandparents why they needed to help co-sign for a new car.

I also could have afforded an evo but as you said I dont want the high a** payments or the high a** insurance. So for now I have cheap car payments and cheap insurance.

^thats the way to go if you ask me...i'll be the third to say it. i could pay for one, but i would rather have a smaller payment, smaller insurance payment, and still have something fun to drive that i don't have to worry about.

yeah dude that would be cool as Hell. I am probably just going to end up getting the 9007 hid conversion kit and be done with it. But if you got pictures and some videos up that would be hot as hell.

I'm not bashing anyone's car, I'm just saying, why would you buy a car, and then put a ton of money into it making it look like another car. It's like putting an Evo body kit and Evo spoiler and Evo this and that on a lancer, just to have a slow car that kinda sorta looks like an Evo. With all the money on Evo look alike parts you spent, buy a damn Evo. There is nothing wrong with buying aftermarket HIDs and I really doubt anyone is gonna pull you over in PA and tell you to pop the hood over bright headlights.

And why bash me cuz I have a civic?? Do you think a lancer is any better? When my civic was new, it was one of the nicest cars Honda sold, not just some base model car. I have plenty of room to talk, thanks.

Im not bashing your car and honestly could care less about what you are driving. I never said I wanted to have my car looking like an evo. I was only considering the evo 8 headlights thats all. I have a ken style body kit, 18" konig theory rims. Not anywhere near an evo. As far as the spoiler i have the small wing from the oz edition that im probably going to install. So in turn you have no room to talk until you know the facts. Thanks and have a Great Day
