Did you buy the black powder coated ones from me? I bought and sold a lot of things on the forum and had very good luck with it.

So I went to Home Depot tonight to find parts to make a stubby antenna. For anyone that cares, here are the pics along with what parts you will need. I think it looks great. My reception really didn't change either. Only cost $1.25 for the parts too.






I also found plugs that will work to fill in front bumper license plate holes. They are plastic and can be painted to match your car. Not sure if they drill holes in Evo's to mount the plate. If anyone wants info on those let me know.

the homie hookup my friend Dougs Dyno Power in Vegas had it on one of his evos that only had a few dyno pulls and that's it, he threw it on my car, then on dyno and tuned it too He is way cool you guys would all be at his dyno getting tuned but its Vegas...Anyway I don't think you'll get a deal like I did ($950) for ported/coated and fp wastegate. I had one forum guy talked down to $850 with like 6 months use on one (he said)...used I personally wouldn't pay anymore then $850-1100

if you can get a ix turbo from someone then you can send it to fp for a build and save lots of $ and get one new too. ix turbo I'd say pay $400-$450

Coming from a 600+ whp rsx would you be happy with a 400whp evo? If you would like good power and fast spool no lag then you'll be happy with the green

Haha I always ask my self that. I think I will be happy for now I may just find a 9 turbo and max it out that way I wont be spending a lot of money twice because in the end I really want to do a 35R set up.

Nice, doesn't look too bad at all. Someone stole my antenna forever ago and I haven't gotten around to putting anything in it, so maybe I'll try that. Never had any reception problems with the exception of AM channels, but don't really need those anyway

Haha, awesome, I'm glad it worked out for ya Jordan, it looks good. Do you think the plugs would fit in my giant rectangular holes? I wish I could just get that whole front part shaved and re-filled somehow so it was a solid line.
