Wow!!!! That’s all I have to say. My only gripe it’s a bit on the heavy side.

Yes it is! Thank you. The plenum is even more of a masterpiece then the outside. This is seriously legit. I can't wait to get this mounted.

Sneak peek... I have a few more hours of work. Cleaning up piles of road grime. Should be finished up by tomorrow and ready for new suspension install.

Pictures are giving no justice! The rear fender well came out fantastic and clean. I left a little undercoating on to protect it from the elements. I had the chance to put self etching primer in some of the evo’s known trouble spots. All in all I’m happy with this Evo. I only have one spot that I will have to attend to in the future( top of mount for lower comtrol arm). Cleaned up the rear subframe. Gave it a nice coat of paint. I will be installing this today when I get up. Just waiting on Evo Dan for his billet spindles to be ready for sale and my motor to be finished from Buschur’s.

Decided I can't wait anymore for the evospec billet spindles. Just got a email that my motor is going to be done soon. So I pulled the trigger on getting the rest of my suspension done. So I ordered the Superpro roll center kit. I have a few days to decide but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the whiteline front 26mm sway bar and the 24mm rear sway bar entire kit with new mounts. Today I'm going to clean up the spindles, drill out the abs sensors that seized and prep for the new bearings to go in. Might have to make a trip down to Fastenal or call stm for all new wheel bearing bolts.

Update: 09/04/18

My superpro roll center kit came in. Really happy with the quality of these parts. Today I ordered my superpro rear sway bar end links and energy suspension rear sway bar bushings. My rear suspension is now finished and ready to button up. I'm praying my engine is done next week so I can swing over to Dan Buschurs to pick up my rear diff and t-case.
