Haha!! Yeah, we do have siblings! Exact same car from same dealer, just different colors. I love it so far, just having a heck of a time trying to keep my foot out of it...

My wife has already asked not *if* but *when* I am going to start doing things to it! My Evo was a fully built 2.3 stroker with all supporting mod, I did intake, heads, cam, headers and full exhaust on the SRT8 Magnum, and the 2011 F350 I have is EGR delete, deleted and tuned... She knows..


And yes, she quite enjoyed driving it. Actually, the only time it has gone to wide open throttle was when she became impatient with a slow car in front of us and decided to pass it!! Had to politely ask her to take it easy!!!

Oh boy!! The good times are beginning!! This thing is so responsive!! My wife enjoys it also, but has only driven it once so far. We have a road trip planned to California next week and I'm sure she'll log plenty of miles. I just got the taillights on last night. What a pain in the butt. Those two clips in the trunk were installed by the devil himself.

Thinking about adding the exposed Carbon fiber hood and gas cap now. My white M6 came with every available option (minus the cap) so I miss those on this car.

The blacked out taillights were my first mod. The make the rear look so much better in my opinion.

What issue did you have with the clips? All you should've had to do is remove the three 8mm nuts and just firmly pull the lights out.

We are already planning a trip with a bunch of guys back up to Arkansas, some pretty good driving on 7 and a bunch of other roads around there. I like going to hill country to run the twisted sisters, but soooo many motorcycles this time a year! (I ride as well, but sitting behind a group of 20 Harley's doing 35mph sucks...)

The tracking shows that the lights and blackout side marker kit should be here today. I have read that the tail lights are more difficult than they should be, but not too worried. All of the work that has been done on my other cars was done by me with the exception of machine work of course. You ought to try changing a clutch on an Evo 7-9... A PIA getting the trans in/out!!
