Question which do u prefer?

i was wondering what everyone prefers when it comes to letting people know u drive an evo.

i noticed that the evoVIII has evolution VIII in the corner, where as the evoVII has EVOLUTION VII in big silver letters across the trunk, which do u prefer?

the only way i wouldve discovered the evo was by playing gran turismo 3 , i drove up behind a car and saw the word evolution across the back, i was like wow, thats my kinda car.

do u think that the silver letters r the way to go or the little label in the corner??????

i like the silver letters. but i guess the answer to your question depends on if the person wants there car to be a little bit of sleeper. there are still a lot of people that would not recognize an evo on first sight, but a lot of those same people would know what the name evolution signifies in the import world. so do you want the guy you just smoked knowing exactly what smoked him or would you want him to keep on assuming it had to be an exotic so that he has an excuse for losing. depends on your view point. sorry for being long winded, but i love the big letters.

The US Evo actually has Lancer Evolution (no VIII) in the bottom left corner of the trunk. Looks crap IMHO. I have the UK badge across the back of mine.

yea...i gotta agree with UFO (My fellow Texan)...the big letters are the way to go. I think it would be cool to take the small evolution badge on the back of the US EVO and place it on the passenger side dashboard (Above the glovebox somewhere).

I think the main reason I dont like the US spec badge is because the font that 'evolution' is written in looks awful.

Im my opinion, euro/jdm badge or a clean shaven trunk looks best.

I'm European and I think Euro huge badges are gay.
I like small in the corner badges better.
But I would shave Evolution off anyways and just leave Lancer becuase just like boks said - font is terrible.

Personally -- shave the letters - people who know an evo and respect it know when they see it... people who don't care, well - don't.
