the gold looks great. I like the car a lot. fog lights will finish the front off real nice. I think if the vents on the hood were painted gold it would look a little better but it doesnt look bad by any stretch.

Awesome! A GT35R with 2.5L is just perfect! I wish the Evo has more displacement.

Thanks Tribal.

I agree Vigo, alot of the suby guys hate lag coming from the tiny vf39 with the 2.5l, but i think lag is overrated.

I like the evo 2.0 though, the 4g63 is just such and amazing block.
