Driving mine stock since May 2011. Still love it.

Edit: Excluding aesthetics.

I am stock except for a Cobb Accessport- stage 1, and an HKS panel filter. My car is a blast to drive and very reliable after 25k miles. Although even simple mods can cause issues. I just replaced the MAF for the second time and will be going to the stock Mitsu filter this weekend to avoid blowing a third.

Haha> Excluding aesthetics? Nah man, get over it. I wouldn't even be considering an Evo if the X didn't exist. I'd think I was driving my very first Mirage. O.o You've got the best looking Evo there is so far.

No offense to pre X Evo owners. I respect the car, just prefer the X looks.

completely stock here too...stock as in off the showroom floor stock. (except all season tires and rally armor flaps and rexspeed lip spoiler). Then again i've only had it since Jun 2011 and only has like 5500 miles. But honestly, i think i can go stock for a while. car still brings a smile on my face while scaring the crap outta me every now and again.

Dead bone stock since I drove it off the dealer's lot. '11 X MR, phantom black. I prefer it. I bought the car in part for the Bilstein/Eibach/BBS combo. What's not to love?

Oh neat! I want to talk to you about that lip spoiler. I guess I wouldn't keep mine completely stock after all. Ha! I love the little curvy lip spoilers that are part of the trunk lid. There is one in my neighborhood, but upon close inspection, the entire lid is carbon fiber and the lip is all part of it. But I didn't like that the fit was not perfect around the edges.

I vaguely remember my Evo stock. Dog slow and with seasickness inducing body roll. Might as well have bought a AWD soccer mum special.

My car is stock except I swapped out that NASTY OEM shiftboot. I'm keeping it 100% so that it will be easier to sell. I drive 5mph over the speed limit (no joke), so a stock Evo is plenty fast for me.

Edit: I've put the nasty OEM shiftboot back on. Now it's really 100% bone stock. lol

I'm really glad it could be ordered as an option on the GSR, I mean you really have to look hard nowadays to find a car where you can get all the performance options without having to pick out a package that includes leather, nav, sunroof, etc.

Love the fact that the only options on my GSR are those that makes it go faster, handle and stop better!

If only more manufacturers would offer something similar on their cars...

I have a front sway bar, a muffler-less catback, and Enkei PF-01s.

Having driven modified cars for almost two-decades, this is a nice change of pace.

I can't imagine keeping my car stock. It's just too much fun modding it.

Don't think you'll be very competitive in ASP bone stock
