o trust me no rice here, just look at the evo, not a bowl of rice in sight. I will still go with the "race" set up under hood, and am looking for a sleek "VIP" look outside. I am looking at the works meisters and a 1.5" approx drop as the first outside mod. She will still have her fun, but i want to keep this a sleek DD that can be taken to shows because of it's rarity here in NC.

well today i read the manual a little bit (holy crap i read a book!)

Turned on the MT current gear shower on the cluster. while also having a 5 speed (my evo X) i constantly forget to go to 6th so this may help out a little bit. I also turned on the audible beep at red line. Even though i haven't even bounced off the rev limiter i thought this would be cool to play around with.

Ordered FULL LED replacement that covers everything inside and outside the car, to include the fog light that i have prepped to come on with headlights, and a second bulb for breaking, got these in red to intensify the red for breaking reasons.

I want clear side markers but at $200 there are some things that even my impatient self can wait for, so i think today i am going to give them a light smoke coat, and also looking at tinting the rears red today. I am still hesitant on if i want to do the overlays with or without the turn signal cut out so this may not happen today.

also i have a friend that has owned numerous STI's and he has a way to get the stars on the Subaru emblem painted a different color, so i think i am going to paint the stars and ring either gold, or colormatching. Not sure when i will do this, but may be today if it doesn't get to humid and nasty outside.

Noticed a corner of the clear bra on the lip was coming up. I had to cut off some of it to keep it from peeling further. Hopefully, which I think they will, the shop I got it done at will come out and fix the front lip

Thanks!

Need to change the title of this thread, it is no longer show status, it is about 60/40 show/race. While the Evo is the race car, my engineer and I both have brz's and we will be testing different prototypes at the same time next race season to see what we want to produce.

Thanks! The Evo is sponsored by you guys and I could not be happier with the radiator and pipes, about to replace all the vacuum lines to with your silicon lines. Will be getting some stuff for the brz soon!

Spent time with carolina super cars. Requirements are 2 doors only and must be AWD/RWD. HAD A BLAST! Here is the first photo release by overdrive magazine which was there at the end of the rally run we did
