I couldn't afford an EVO so this what I got PART 2.

I was dead set on buying an EVO when I got home from Army basic and AIT however I did the numbers out and it just wasn't going to fit... even if I went with a 2003 for $20,000. SO this is what I got considering I had to have something performance.











Right now I have a CTI Side exit catless exhaust, progress springs, I painted my wheels and I have a mopar bov, next on the list is an AGP WGA and I should be pushing 260whp ish and 280wtq ish @ 18PSI. The next car is an EVO, maybe a year or so down the road. My payments with this are $281 vs. $470 or so.

Congrats on the new car.

Too bad you couldn't get a Evo, but hope you have fun with that baby.

Stay Safe

Looks as good or better than a EVO imo.

My heart still belongs to the EVO and hopefully soon I will have some more money to put into this one to get it better to my liking. I'd like to change the headlights, the all chrome housing isn't for me I thought of painting them or just buying smoked headlamps, putting orange parking light bulbs and silverstar bulbs =poor man HIDs, also the clear corners have got to go I think, I will probobly paint them a darker color to go with the wheels and the headlights, the tail lights I thought about blacking out but meh... too much black. I am going to tint the windows but I don't know if I'm going to do the 20% I always do or go with the 35%... see in Maine 35% is technically still illegal because naturally windows have a tiny amount of tint ANYways, and if I get pulled over and busted for something I'd get exhaust and tint tickets on top of that HOLY CRAP!. I plan on some aftermarket wheels as well because this paint won't hold up forever and the stock ones are only 6 inches wide.
