New Evo Owner...

Hey guys, just picked up my first Evo, and first turbo car for that matter. I used to drive a 2000 Subaru 2.5rs. I'm liking it so far...Hopefully I stay a while! I have lots to learn about evos! I only have one pic of the car so far....



'06 SE

Has anyone put racks on with the aluminum roof? I've seen a couple threads on them but they are a little dated so I'm not sure. But I'm looking to put a bike rack on... Thanks!

Welcome man! your first turbo car? you will never go back to NA boost is like crack that sh*t will get addicting. that is a clean evo bro just keep it that way im in the process of getting mines up to standard i have minor issues here and there because of the last owner. BTW if you plan on keeping the evo awhile dont park in handicap spots cause it will get towed lol and most dumbarse drivers will not use a flat rack and mess up your rear dif.

pssssst; he's at the dealsership!

Did you buy the evo local? I don't recognize that one at all, nice find though! If you want a roof rack you'll need the one that mounts only on the rail (whatever they're called) on the side of the roof
