Thanks guys! I really like colors that look nice but aren't flashy haha, I turned down some Super Bright Chrome Advan RS to get my Silver ones even. I definitely want this car to be clean but subtle.

Thanks!! To be honest I'm not completely sure what color it is....I asked for a gray with some blue tint in it to help bring out the oil cap, and then there is a Matte coat on top.

My guy is Rob aka Kick *** Powdercoating. He's a small business in Georgia, and a good friend of a friend. You can check him out on Facebook under the Kick *** Powdercoating name and email him if you want. He did my brakes also.

 

Wooo a few more updates! Finally tracked down an OEM hood to replace the Seibon one that came with the car, It cleaned up great, just needs a buff!

I also got my Bride Seats in last week. I have always wanted a set of Zetas, they fit my skinny self perfectly!

Idk if anyone is interested in O2 Eliminator Downpipes, but I'll have a write up on this in not too long....

Also had my Tomei Expreme Ti converted from a 2.5" 2 bolt to a 3" V-Band at the Downpipe to make the exhaust system a true 3"

Nice job on the upgrades; I like the subtlety. What shift knob is that?

 

Thanks, I really like cars that are modified in a somewhat low key way! I have an ARC Titanium shift knob.

 

Great Job on the mods, clean and classic. Nice work! Can't wait to see what's next. Awesome pictures too!!

 

Appreciate it! I'm in the process of getting all this stuff on the car, and then I'll be getting it tuned and driving the crap out of it! My ARC box just got done with some R&R too, the engine bay is taking shape, just gotta get the UICP and Intake tube made, then move the battery to the trunk.

This is how you do an Evo. I'm pretty damn jealous of this build that's going on, I'm not even gonna lie. This is a badass car that you are bringing to a whole other level man. Looking forward to more progress. Enjoy it!

 

Thanks man, I really appreciate the compliments. The car looks much better to me now than it did the day I bought it, and hopefully will drive even better too!

Tenative tune date set for Friday, hoping to see close to 400whp (Dynojet) on pump 93!

 

Got the ride height set and lip on, almost ready to be tuned. Still waiting on my Advan Center Caps to come in though.

What a fantastic machine. Lots of quality parts and time put into this build.
