I hate the "it's a guys' car" excuse

So basically, I got my Evo 8 MR a year ago. But I didn't want to start working on it until a was used to the car. Now I'm bored of it. And I'm sick of the common "Well, It's a guy car" phrase I get. Or people ask me if it's my boyfriend's car, haha. So I need some recommendations for what I should mod first. Any suggestions, with parts and companies, and such ... Thanks !

99% of the evo owners are male, so the comments you get from people are understandable.

If you want it to stand out as YOUR car in which you being a female I assume, you could do some feminine mods? I don't know maybe pink shift knobs or something that def. tells the car's owned by a female.

As far as performance upgrade, you can start by getting a nice Turboback exhaust and manual boost controller.

buschur, AMS, ETS are the big names around here.... there are a lot of other companies as well based in japan (Greddy, HKS, etc.)

You will want to start out with a turboback exhaust, intake, boost controller and a tune from someone reputable. Hope that helps

Mod it the way you see fit. Something that appeals to you. Good luck. What color is yours?

Get a new plate that say "GRL-DRVR" lol... Another memeber had a steering wheel with a hello kitty hor button, I though that was pretty cool. Miner things like that would make it stand out!

Most people think that if a girl drives a modded car then it's their boyfriends because most of the time it's true. But there are lots of girls out there that have their own cars and like to mod them. If you don't want people mistaking your car for your boyfriend's car, then like chu said...get some stuff to make your car look feminine. Here is my steering wheel for example:
