Finally bought a Evo 8 :)

So i bought a evo 8 lol... I had my first kid not too long ago, So i sold my 08350z and bought a 05 evo 8 ssl....... and ive loved it right from the test drive... The only bad thing was it was plasti dipped and the guy did not clean it often but he said the tarmac black was underneath in mint condition.
SO here are a couple pics of before and after peeling wrap and detailing to get the black shinging again!!!

the day i bought it after i washed it.....






Here are some after the peeling of the plasti dip



some shots while detailing









and finally the finished product

dang clean ride man. Beautiful detail job. It looks much better black IMO even though it looks good in white too.

Looks great. Like the wheels & stance. The previous owner set it up nice

Peeling off the dip must have been a nice reward to see whats underneath

Beautiful job man! Definitely love the black better than the white. Amazing job getting the scratches and swirls out of the paint!
