Just Got An Evo 9--Help a nnoobie out?

Ok, so I just got my evo 9 in, had to get it shipped in from FL to KS. All I have it say is damn, an incredible drive... Anyway, I'm looking to make it look a little better cosmetically, tint, vortex generator etc! Please Help me out! Any advice on brands %tint, anything extra that would make it look better. Be specific, with what it is, and where I can get it please!!

I have already been looking into LED lights, window tint, and a vortex generator, but not sure on where I can buy quality part.

Here's my new EVO (Pictures were taken when CARCHEX inspected the vehicle pre-purchase):





Thanks in advance!

I cant remember where the picture is on this site but but the cleanest WW IX ive ever seen on here and it had farmland in the background and it was on some backroad that was a 2 lane divided highway if i remember right? ill see if i can find it but if youre looking for just something cosmetically then i would go with the looks the guy did with his...he had the JDM head and tails, Advan RS gunmetal rims, 20-25% tint, set of coilovers

try www.rexpeed.net/ and http://www.lancershop.com. I bought a few things from lancershop and was pretty happy with them, although they aren't always the cheapest to order from. I've read and heard nothing but great things about rexpeed too.

+1 on rexpeed.net! I bought my Vortex Generator from them and am very very happy with it. Very fast shipping and love how they have them painted. Picked up a nice Tarmac Black Generator to go with my Silver Car.

Yeah, I saw a few rexpseed vortex generators, but I was concerned with the material that there made off, I know plastic is alot cheaper, but won't it look tacky on the car?
