Im looking for weight and fitment. Stock trunk is obviously pretty heavy so im def looking to cut some weight there. I saw some pics on your FB and it does look good. It looks in the pics it fits just like stock.

Im going to check them out and go from there. Thanks Bud!

IINM,Robispec used to carry Fiber Images Hood/Trunk

I believe this is one of a very few lightweight trunk/hood solution for EVO

No not off the Ricer, just ordering one from them. That is the plan. But that is one of the last things im going to do before the car hits the track

UPDATE!!!

Boostin Performance and I got the diff out last week to shep. I'm looking forward to getting that back and have that done and out of the way. My Exhaust manifold and dump tube is getting ceramic coated as well. Devin is going to make me a dump to go through my hood vent and were going to get that coated as well Thought I would switch it up a little bit lol.

My turbo will be sent out in a week or 2. Im timing it perfect so all the parts will get done at the same time, then the car goes to Boostin for my Trans rebuild with the 4.11 gears and fresh QM clutch. He will put everything back together as well. Last night i picked up a stock seat from my buddy to throw in the car for the passenger when i do take it out on the street. I'm getting the NRG seat here very shortly for the drivers side, but i didnt wnat to spend the extra money for the NRG seat and harness for the pasenger when its not a everyday DD. Thought i would put the funds elsewhere. Carbon Fiber trunk will come later also as that wont take long to change. I plan on having the car running mid to end of February then off to the chassis shop it goes. Stay tuned for pics!

Thanks Bud! I am still doing the 6766 upgrade. Im sending in my 6765 in about a week or so to precision to get the 6766. I cant wait. My whole turbo kit will be coated.

I also forgot to add, that im going to the M/H 24.5" Slicks and getting my Slipstreams powder coated Gloss black instead of the flat black they come in. With the carbon fiber trunk and purple accents the Junk Box will have a little twist this year
