Your evo is getting too "busy" with the appearance. I'm sure it looks sick if I saw it personally.
Larger more aggressive rims would look so much better!
Just my 2 cents.

I like it. Looks great.
Where did you get that hood and how much? I need a new one and I like that the vent is on the side of the intake. I have the cwest version now...but I need a new hood....baaaad.

Great ideas, but I think your car is on the verge of being too cluttered.
SIMPLE/ CLEAN
I like everything but a couple of items, like the gas cover (looks out of place, even though the theme seems to be CF, the square shape is not what I would call "pleasing on the eyes"), the decals (looks like a genuine ricer now), and the hood is more aggressive in appearance vs. the rest of the car (believe it or not).
Overall, the gas door, and the decals are what turns me off about your car. It resembles an RC car. Now can you possibly put more ext. aftermarket parts on your EVO? I don't think you can do much more adding, without replacing, or eliminating.
Believe it or not, without the decals, and the CF Gas door, the theme might be better tided together, and might make the hood look more at home. I have a very aggressive CF hood on my Supra, and like you, my intentions in buying it were its overall functionality. Although my taste has changed, I would still keep the hood on my Supra because I have seen an improvement in cooling which is just another benefit of aftermarket hoods. However, your car, the EVO, can pull off an aggressive hood style because of the lines of the EVO's body; they’re very similar, jagged, and straight edges everywhere. My Supra standouts like a poor thumb. I have this beautiful voluptuous, curvy beast, and the hood is exactly the opposite. It doesn't even look like it should fit. Overall the hood is more purposeful, than it is artful - typical EVO quality.
Anyways, I hope you’re not freaking out right now. I understand everything I said is opinionated, and subjective. Hell, get when I'm wasted and my opinions could change. I just thought, coming from a guy who has done that, and been there, those are just some ideas I have infused in any vehicle I own. I guess the word the best describes that type of thinking, is simplistic, or minimalistic.

THX, actually - I was already thinking of going a little more minimal on it..
I've been thinking of taking the HKS stickers off the side windows.
But my NOKTURNAL car club sticker on the front windshield has to stay[club rules], and my EVOM.net sticker on back window will stay. hehe...
Other than those, it'll probably stay the same.
CF fuel door, "Eh" idk, we'll see..
I have a scratch there, from some jerk-off leaning against my car, and it covers it.
Until I get it fixed, it'll stay..
THX for all comments....
