Looks pretty impressive what you've managed to pull off. Gotta love this model.

Couple of small Q's, I may be wrong but it looks like the car has had the crash bumper bars removed ? I may be wrong but how does the fitment go with the evo 4 front and rear bumpers/kit if you were to keep the USDM crash/bumper bars do they fit or do they have to be modified to fit behind them ?

The factory Evo bumpers will not fit with the USDM crash bar. They have a much smaller version of it and mount with that. You could probably get a fiberglass replica bumper and modify the US crash bars to fit under them.

This is SO awesome to see… always like to see an epic build like this. So much time, effort and money put in to something like this… well worth it in the end! Great job, thanks for sharing… can't wait to see the final setup.

Some pre-update pics.




Nice clean Evo 9 BBS wheels for it.



Repainted Brembos ready to go on.


In the paint shop getting a color change



Shaving the trunk so it'll be wingless when it comes back.


Almost done! I'm getting excited again!
