Wow.


1. Those are my favorite wheels by Volk.
2. Love the color of the evo
3. Love that the car is so simple and not taken too far like so many other evos and impreza's are.


Awesome pics Synth.

AND it's a manual!

Evos in general look off without the wing IMO... it actually completes the look. But that is a car with all the right parts, and great pics as usual. Dunno about anyone else, but CE28s are still in style to me.

I love the simple side mirrors. IIRC, I remember seeing them being sold on some site for a ridiculous amount. Just can't remember where that was.

Same here on the side mirrors. The stock ones make for HUGE blind spots, though I don't think that was why the owner got those aftermarket ones

I've been on the fence on craft square mirrors literally for 2 years now. Might not work on an NSX, but perfect on this EVO.

Um no. The Craft Square side mirrors (thanks for the post Synth, that's what it was) are high quality custom made in Japan. The site I recall seeing them listed on was this one: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...QUARE_JAPANESE

$650 just for small side mirrors. NUTS!

O I C. Wont that eventually wear off from heat or dirt? Or is there a clear coat over it? I'd be paranoid in ruining it. since it is a rare item.

Sick. Tasteful. Except... for the side mirrors imo. I dont think they flow. And the weight loss is probably minimal.

Dosnt it look easily broken?

Thanks, Yes! Manual shooting is the way to go IMHO, but shutter priority is effective for rolling shots and panning when you need to just shoot as fast as possible to get the right shots.
