Debating this look for the Evo, opinions wanted

[bimmer4life]

I like that car more then yours. Appearance wise

 

[Knowklew]

If it were my car I would do the following:

Tinted windows
Clear side markers all around
Black side mirrors
Red or black calipers
OEM Headlights
Black front lip
Black side skirts


Not sure about the rear of the car as i can't see it in these pics.

 

[boostedguy05]

i dont think the black side skirts look bad, but a better full on side shot would help.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I actually dig the car with the white handles etc and the tinted headlights.

Ive got a an OEM US spec 9 bumper. I'm guessing the other one has a JDM rear.

Do the mirrors and the side skirts for sure. No handles though. Keep them white.

 

[guspech750]

This looks really good and subtle. A nice contrast of black and white.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Wrx people want thier side skirts body color, evo owners want them black



I like it as is. The black looks like you replaced them with primed shit imo

 

[Shawn1112]

I like the black on white, did something very similar on my 2012 300 I had a few years ago.

 

[SinisterSHO]

I like the simplicity of the way it looks now.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

Side skirt yes , handles and mirrors not so sure.

 

[wolfe]

I'm just glad you're getting rid of the tinted headlights.

I find it amusing that if those items were black the debate would be to go body color or not.

 

[03GTGreen]

No to handles, yes to Black as long as it has the Carbon Fiber overlay/look to it

 

[Mook]

The side skirts would be carbon fiber.

 

[wolfe]

The side skirts would be carbon fiber.

Then do it

I've got an idea... how about you don't do a damn thing to the car until it can A. successfully complete a road trip without a mechanical failure and B. make a full pass without dropping a clutch fork out of the trans? For extra credit, C. - save up for a xfer case rebuild.

Function over form is what I'm saying.

Besides, I like the way your car sits right now better without the extra rice CF bits. Fix the saggy headlamp and make her run like a raped ape.

mmmk?

I like the subtleness and look of the door handles and mirrors. I think that'd look great.

The side skirts I can't really tell. Have a pic of the JDM rear you're talking about?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Actual carbon?

 

[Mook]

Actual carbon?

Likely wrapped. There are a few options.

Stock US bumper

JDM rear

 

[Bub]

I like the lighter colored wheels in the top pic. But I like your white handles and mirrors.

Don't do it. Ricer shit.



That jdm bumper is the sex though.

 

[Mook]

Too bad the jdm bumper is like 700 + paint unless you can come across a deal. They used to SHIP in wicked white (my color) but not no mo.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Bummer.


Or do what eagle suggested

Kind of a dickish reply.

Tcase is fine. Clutch fork is fine, it was the wedge clip that sucks dick in the exedy, fixed. All failures have been trans related / somewhat my doing and they've all been addressed. Im even having the trans pulled again in the next month or so to double check I didnt do any damage from the tour or the highway pull so that Im good for 2016.
