This is a gorgeous car that I'm certain is an absolute blast to drive. Nice work!

I think my pants just got a little wet 😂.
For real though, amazing work man. That thing is clean as hell. Followed

That is seriously cool! Do both headlights give decent illumination?

Hope to see it after the repaint!

I mean the passenger headlight is OEM and the driver's side is a ln aftermarket projector air intake headlight. Both give decent illumination, but it's 90' technology, so compared to the newer cars it's not great

Ugh as a past evo 8 owner and someone who LOVES the 5 and 6 this is pure sex!

Looks good dude. I imagine the flare on the passenger side rear wheel isn't going to be filled in around the gas cap? That's the only part that looks a little awkward IMO. I love the color, though.

Oh the rear flares on the driver's side just wasn't installed in the previous pics.
