Tsidrift1: Evo IX Project.
I just got so excited to get it back together lol. Im sorry for not getting the shot underneath it.
night and day difference.. looks much better 
i am debating putting wedssport tc105n on my evo. wheels are hard to choose on a evo.
the evos a touchy little box of style. the wrong wheel can ruin it. the rpf1 look good on the evo.

Def a good choice, you cant go wrong with RpF1s
Thanks Joey. The car spins a lot more on this wheel and tire. I dont have soo much of the soft sidewall to help traction now lol.
I gotta keep my damn tires as clean as the wheels now too haha.

UPDATE
Not much been going on lately. Just enjoying the car. I did have a small mishap with the coolant temp sensor. I would have never thought of it going bad with the symptoms the car was giving.
So the shootout is 2 months away. I really wanted to get the front plate bracket off and shave the holes from the bumper. I figured while I was re-spraying the bumper, I would shoot the hood has well. Its got way too many rock chips in the front.
Anyways, bumper is done and ready for sealer. Going to attack the hood tomorrow.

if you dont mind me asking how you fill the holes on your bumper? i have air ducts on my car right now and i plan to have them removed when i get the front end repainted cuz of rock chips
well, what I use, I wouldnt use for a hole any bigger than about a dime. What I do is grind down both sides of the plastic around the hole. I kind of create a valley around the hole. I use a 36grit wheel on a die grinder. I really get into the plastic for something to bite into. Then I use a long haired kitty hair/bondo. I tape the front side up, then I lay a nice layer of the kitty hair on the backside. After the kitty hair has kinda started to get to the real thick sticky side, I then pull the tape off the front of the holes. I then take my finger and with what kitty hair has pushed though the holes, I smear/spread it on the front side. I do this instead of just applying kitty hair on the front so its technically the same layer of hair that I just pull through the hole and spread around the front as well as the back. I use much more in the back than in the front. Once the kitty hair has cured, I lightly sand it with 80 grit. I try not to get into the bumper too much with it. Im basically just giving something for the next filler to stick to.
Once all that is done, I then take this stuff called glazing. Its a very fine light filler. It mixes just like bondo. Its just much finer and you can sand at it starting with 180. Starting with 180 makes it easy, since that grit doesnt eat into the plastic bumper around it. Starting with something like 80, its sands into the plastic creating more work. So with the glazing, I can sand with 180, block sand it. Then once I get it to where I want, I lay 3 coats of primer surface over the repaired spots. I let the primer cure, spray a light mist of cheap black enamel over the primer that I use as a guide coat. Wetsand that down with a soft foam block with 600grit on it. Then you get what you see here. So then I went ahead and hit the whole bumper with the wet 600.

so what your saying is you want to do my front bumper lol but sounds like some work looks like i need to call some shops and get some price quotes for filling holes and paint
Im about 3hrs south of you, but I can do it if you want haha. How big are your holes? If they are pretty big, I would actually use a 2 part plastic weld for bumpers.
