Cool New owner of an EVO VIII

So, on 3.12.2010, my friends and I went out to look for my next car. Thanks to TemjinX2 and Johnbt for the long search.

I picked up a 2004 BBY Evo VIII

My plans:
*quieter exhaust system
*Re-clearing the carbon fiber parts of the car since it has oxidized badly.
*Removing the ugly film tint off both the headlights and tail lights.
*Replacing my tails with the red and white tails (EVO VII tails).

^Bull emblem coming off soon lol





^My EM2!!!

Apologies for the cell phone pictures. Taken with my Motorola Cliq.

Re: New owner of an EVO VIII

Personally this is my favorite Evo rear end:
I think it would look sick if you could get it like that in the color you got. Just suggesting for possible future mods.

I am well aware of your good luck list. 91 isn't all that bad, just like Derrick said.
Thank you for your concern.

Re: New owner of an EVO VIII

Damn nice car! Congrats Jonathan! Haven't been on here for a while and you moved on up!

Looks like it's going to be fun to drive. I picked up a new ride too a couple months ago. Nothing beats the feeling of getting a new car.
