*New* Pics after a few mods

Here are a few new pictures of my car and my friends EVO. I just finished putting in my springs, fuel and WB and repainting my interior. I KNOW, a lot of you don't like the wing, I don't anymore either, so if someone has a wingless hatch they want to sell me.......
Anyway enjoy.

nice, tell your bud with the evo to paint the crome insides on his headlights black. and install evo 7 tails. looks much better and practially no $ to do. I did it on mine, its a world of difference.

What kind of rear wing is that anyway? I've never seen that before.

I'll get some engine bay pictures this week, its kinda dirty after working in it all weekend, once I clean it ill post. The wing is custom, I was given a double deck wing and I liked how the bottom half fallowed the lines of the rear, so I shaved the top off and smoothed out the ends. Now I see so many wingless.....I love them with out wings. The springs where Tein springs from ebay, only 140$ and rides the same as it did.

both can be pryed open after removing all parts/lights/etc. and putting in an oven for a few mins. then once painted using sylicone adheasive to reseal. theres a how-to on Evolutionm.net. just do a search and its easy from there.

nice and clean
the wing doesn't look too bad. not my cup of tea, but it's not annoyingly large and it's definitely unique.

I think the color, kit selection and wheels mesh very well together, nice choice. The wing doesnt look half bad in some angles but just isnt my style. Great job.

The cheap-o wheels ruin it for me. Throw on fog lights into their designated spot and I think it'll look nicer too.

Looks very nice. I have a silver hatch with no holes for sale if you still want it, pm me. Wing looks like the bottom half of a Veilside wing.

Hm, not bad of a wing though not my wing-taste either. Also, I like this blue better than the JSpec IBM...more blue and vibrant.

Hey there,

Nice pics of the car! And I love the evo. Since I saw the 7 in person I can say the wing doesn't look that bad. PM me cause we have to get together and we can take pics of our two girls. But we definately got to get together now that the weather is so nice.

I just got mine back from putting an R1 wing on. If you really want to go wingless again, the guy who did my wing is a master welder and can plug the holes right up and you'll never know they were there. He owns the body shop where my car was painted.

BTW - looking at pics of your car makes me want a FMIC it looks sweet.
