All manifolds look nice and pretty in the beginning, just like Rockman mentioned it's only a couple of heat cycles before the color changing begins. It's first a nice goldish color, then starts getting darker until it eventually turns into an ugly black/brown color.
I know a guy that also paints cars

I have the buschur spec JIC Magic. They are very nice. Your going all out on the rest of the car, dont skimp the suspension!
buschur uses apexi and recommends apexi to all his customers.. and guess what factory makes the apexi? the same ones that make megan.. clearly you have no idea wtf you're talking about. the megans are good, its just they wont last more then 15-20k miles. they will be shot then. for someone that doesnt daily drive their evo that is fine. dont talk **** on something you know nothing about. "haha"

Rock what color is your evo going to be? is it staying the blue it is now? if you want to run those wheels you need to have the color to go with it.. I think the blue could pull it off as is, but I recall you saying something about a new paint job?

btw you better get one hell of an alarm for your evo if you plan on keeping it in one piece outside

mine came with a clifford g5 intelliguard 770. i recommend either clifford or viper (DEI) or something like that. my alarm is so smart it let me drive the car down the road like 1000ft and then turned the car off and locked me in the car and the alarm went off.. the only thing that allowed me to get out of the car was the window was down so i had to craw out of it... and when i popped the hood to pull battery terminals off it kept going.. it had 2 ****ing backup batteries and then the car sat down there for 3 days until i could get in contact with the old owner to get the password to disable the blackjax system.

i already know you told me before i think... i cant wait to see your finished exterior. that is a very expensive paint job and make sure you let someone do it that is REALLY good.

no its not a expensive job HOOK UP PRICE i know how much the job is suppose to cost but i have not paid retail on this build on ANYTHING i will not start now. my evo should be known as one of the sickest evos hopifully on this board and mentioned by others no pimp my BS here btw my engine bay walls and interior panels will be a different color as well. so it will have show and power none of this one or the other crap. alarm i will get something but i will have full coverage with aftermarket coverage so if something happens im getting paid out for sure.

Damn that's heavy. I think he might need bigger spacers than 10mm. That's another couple pounds per rim.

And UFC 115 was pretty good. Liddell got owned.

ya sadly man. he had the upper hand right before that KO though. i wanted to see him win. the very first fight tonight was actually pretty good. overall this ufc was great. the last few sucked.
