That's a wrap! My Evo is completed!

My BlueByYou; A brief history and recent completion.

I bought her last January with 30k miles on her and she now has 55k. I have done a lot of little cleanup things along the way (removed ugly purple rear tint, finally added the missing bumper mesh pieces and painted my chipped ones this weekend, red emblem overlays, yellow fogs, etc). Here she is when I got her:



On came a carbon fiber lip from baysonr:



Bluebatmobile taillight vinyl:



Vortex generator:



Dropped on Tanabe GF210s:



Evo MR BBS wheels (I still use the stock Enkei's in the winter with Blizzak WS-50s):



This weekend, my car concluded it's quest. I finally got my Evo VII taillights and JDM MR headlights on. I also painted the sidemarkers orange once all was said and done.









Ahhh, done:





I will post up another thread with the shoot I did with 05ah8james and his gray VIII MR. He has a much nicer camera and photography skills, so hopefully he posts his shots up as well.

Said thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=353116

Only other things I plan on doing are repainting the calipers, installing my Hawk HPS pads, 60k mile service and keeping the roof side up.

Oh, and I'll be posting my stock Evo VIII headlights up for sale in the classifieds section shortly.

The car looks great, but the red emblem overlays do not look good at all to me.

Looks good , but if you're like a lot of other evo owners, you'll want to do more. Clean car and keep it up!
