Car wouldn't be done without a retune so once that happens, yes it's done. I picked up the LICP because if I'm going to get my piping powdercoated after it's retuned, I'd rather have everything done at once so the color matches perfectly, instead of picking the LICP later and having the color matched.
We Mexicans like to have random oddly colored "flashy" things. As much as I want to get away from it....I can't. It's in the blood.

I just like having an EVO instead of my Honda. Oh and the newly done interior door panels/ plastic trim. My kids kept saying how much they LOVED the new purple door panels and the wrapped plastic interior pieces, because it was there favorite color. Kids gotta love if you don't who will. Just a small part of my idea for what I want my car to look like. Enjoy people.

The trim pieces look nice!
Not my choice of color for the panels, but I really like the fabric idea! The fabric wrap job looks amazing!
But hey, your car so you're free to do your own thing.
Did you do the trim and panels yourself or did you take it somewhere?

I did all the work myself for a small amount of money $50 bucks. Fabric is cheap at Joann Fabric store. The wrap was from Synthetic Designs that I picked up for dirt cheap. Since The car is Silver I needed an accent color that was differant, but not something with to many parties going on with it. Kind of like your bed spreads Rmondoh. Just kidding. Maybe
. I just want to be differant from the other EVOs. I've got more instore to do as soon as money comes in. Man I need to win the lottery. OH well! Life shall go on. Oh Rmondoh I like the new exhaust you put on it sounds a hole lot better then the other one. Stay tuned for more to come.

It looks top notch! As Silicon said, color preference differs from person to person so kudos to you for being different.
Can't wait to see what else you have lined up!Thanks for the exhaust compliment. It sounds a bit different now that I have a test pipe on there. I think it sounds even better. Next time you make it out to a meet, you can check it out in person.

Thanks SiliconTek! MY arshole just happened to be Purple. HAHA
Rmondoh Hopefully I can make it out this month, but since my shift changed I'm not making any promises. I would really like to see the production of the EVO.
I'm getting my NEW gauges in this week and scrapping the old ones. FREAKN INNOVATE MOTORSPORTS. That what happens when you go with a new line of gauges and hope they finish making the whole line. Con Artists.

The joke that can be made from this comment would be awesome but I think SmikeEvo would have to edit this post and ban me for it.
Just make sure you put your name down for the meet you're going to so I know you will be there.
Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.
In other news, I installed my AMS LICP a while ago, checked all the clamps, took her for a spin making sure to throw the hammer down on occasion, and everything checked out just fine.

My pre-install impressions are this thing are great! Nicely designed cast end-tanks, good quality core, and lightweight. Assuming this things fits well without trimming I plan to urge MAP to get this thing into full production.

My new 3.5 inch ETS intercooler, discount price, no tax or shipping. Picked it up directly from Ets. Nice little shop in the boonies 3 hours south of Seattle.
