My Evo 8.5

I took a few shots last night. Comments welcome!
(It's a 2003 with a IX turbo, tail lights, and coil cover.)

Looks good but you need to drop that thing with some springs or coilovers.

Here are a few daytime shots. The only difference is the stock rotors in these pictures. On the headlights, JDM MRs are a nice choice but I may have to stick with my IX theme.

I see you're using DSM link on your car? How are you liking that?

I wouldn't use anything else on the market. Stand-alones are nice, but you have to tune from scratch and won't pass state inspection with the OBD-II check. Flashes are too risky since you have no way to know if you're knocking or at your full potential. Piggy-backs are the same way, but you're lying to the ECU -- something I don't like doing. Also, with piggy-backs, you can't independently adjust timing and fuel. Did I mention no direct monitoring of your knock sensor?
