Nice look, seems like a lot of hard work though. You should change the steering wheel to OEM with paddle shifters.

I've received the new st. wheel with paddle shifters but I still need to order an airbag for it, thanks by the way for your kind words

Thumbs up

just saw the tiptronic.. dios mio!!!

anyways, other than that, I think the car looks great! good job... it takes a lot of time, patience and effort to take on this type of project, so hats off to you...

cool for you to do wat u do and ignore a lot of the neg comments.. would i do this? no, but everyone's got their own taste... a lot of forum members believe any mod should be 100% performance oriented... there's nothin wrong with show vs. go...

the facelift looks great, how did you deal with widebody and sideskirt? Forget about re-upholstery the EVO, you need a pair of our sCGT seats ! We can made you a red leather set!

Hi Ray, how is it going? The kit came only for the narrow body and I had my sideskirts painted in black but decided to delete the black paint again and have it in original color (seen in updated photos). I dont think fitting wide body GT2 skirts to a narrow body has been tried before, so we will see in time

Exactly! The KW V3 had been installed two weeks ago, and Supersprint headers, SS mufflers and SS cat bypass had also been applied, with a K&N filter and sprint booster, OZ wheels, Sparco seats (considering how much the stock seats weigh), removing the stock engine panel (weighs a ton cos of the wing motor, compared to the body kit piece), and no rear seats and belts (ha-ha!) so there is considerable weight saving etc, so I would say it was all balanced with an updated look

A few additional photos from this weekend.. I replaced my PCM 2.1 with an Alpine IVA-502R double din system. I also added the following modules where it was necessary, Bluetooth (KCE350 BT), Navigation (NVE-M300P), MP3, DVD/DIVX, iPod connectivity (charge&play) and a wide angle lens rear backup camera. I also had the 'RS 3.8' badge installed just between the rear seats carpeting area. Resprayed the updated steering wheel to remove the little scratches etc. Installation was easy but cabling through the car for the rear backup camera was a ***** at times Overall it was a clean and fun install.. The sound quality is much better than the stock with just a nice 6-way amp, we didn't need to change the stock BOSE speakers at all. It was a total of 15 hours of labour, starting from 10 am Sat until 3 am Sun
Enjoy

All of them work with no problem at all. You just need to order two boxes of control modules (electronic units) from whomever you are order from. They are plug and play. Good luck!
