Looks fine to me. Not a huge fan of the stickers on the window but I kinda like the rims.

I'm gonna have to agree w/ JC.

Ditch the stickers (like I should talk) or make them a better color and put 'em on the side of the car, and ditch the blue rims, otherwise it looks pretty good.

The black-out of the altezzas is a HUGE improvement (hint hint, Mike) and I can even live w/ the wierd blue diamonds, tho red would be like eleventy times better.

As far as the front... gimme a pick and I'll redesign that too.

I dont think they're altezzas; I think they're the JDM lights.

they're blacked-out stockers, which are "altezzas".

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the JDM Evo 8 tails are still chromed.

Evo 8 yes, 7 no. If I had an Evo, the very first mod I would do is JDM Evo 7 tails.

And they aren't really "blacked out" they're baked, opened, and painted. He added the orange too for some dumb reason. It's the wrong color.

Orange ain't so bad. And I'll bet the red reverse light is actually a rear fog light as required in europe.

On that car, with those taillights, I think the orange is hideous.

Just for shitz and giggles I saw an EVO 8 MR yesterday and their tailights are the EXACT same as the ones on the black evo at the top of the page. I even took some pics with the camera if you care to see?

Not really. I already ceded the point that they weren't modified taillights:

Is that Evo on the top a MR? It has the difusers, or whatever Mitsubishi calls them, on the roof.

I like the car, but stickers arnt my style. I like the rims, to be honest. It's something different.
