I fell in love with the Lancer Evolution in 2008 when I was only 18 years old. I couldn't think of anything else but buying an Evo. I had a good job working for a hardware store but I barely had any credit so of course my father had to co-sign with me. Luckily I found the car right after being bought from an auction by a private seller for $13500 and he sold it to me for only $14500. Since then I have made every single payment and paid it off a year early. It was in terrible condition though. It had a horrible two tone paint job and was slower than stock because of all terrible bolt ons it had on it. But with a lot of patience, love and money, money, money, oh did i mention money? It has become a completely different car over the years. Enough talking, here are some pictures in order.

First thing I did was make sure it was running right and got tuned.



Front Lip was Must



New Paint Job and Head lights was a Must. Decided to go wingless also.




New Wheels in Tires. D2 Coilovers Looking Good!




APR rear Diffuser. Mud Flaps and JDM Tail lights!




Now in 2013. 5 years after owning my car. After being fully built with an FP red. Making a Safe 536 whp. I decided to go with my current and more sleeper, cleaner look. (Evo 9 front bumper with SE lip, EVO X wheels, Ferrari Red Powdercoated Brembos and JDM Evo 7 Tail lights) All comments will be greatly Appreciated!

 

Wow, looking really nice! I like the Evo 9 front bumper looks so much better

 

Clean!

Nice how you took a not so nice Evo and polished it up.

 

looks pretty clean how its set up. I would have kept the previous wheels but I guess if your going for a sleeper look..mission accomplished

 

I like both transfomations of your evo great job and great evo

 

what a transformation!

 

Both set ups were dope well done tho sir!

 

I honestly don't know what setup I like better, they are both so clean!

 

Thanks for all the comments so far! The Black RPF1s started gettin really hard to clean and the color was starting to fade! That's why I switched. Then the Evo 9 bumper looks cleaner in my opinion also!

 

very best!

 

awesome job man. looks great!

 

Wow great job! definitly looks the cleanest in its current state. But the 2 pictures in the gas station with the rpf1's look amazing!

 

Pretty interesting thought in the evo when you were 18. I'm in the same shoes as you were

 

thank you for saving that thing. looks like someone was headed down the wrong road with it. Nice work!!! Very Clean.

 

That is a nice start to it.
