Current Mods:
Injen Upper and Lower intercooler pipes, and Intake

I just ordered new Bilstein MR struts. Should be ordering springs soon.
SO far I have:
Removed injen stickers
Put new snow tires on it Hankook Winter I pike 225/45/17
R&R RR axel seal, and Diaqueen LSD fluid
Put stock exhaust manifold back on, and fixed turbo gasket exhaust leak.
I'll update here once in awhile!

I'd love to!!!
But at roughly:
$550 IX bumper cover (OEM NEW)
$200 IX Lip (OEM NEW)
$200 IX grill kit (OEM NEW)
$~500 paint at a nice body shop
~$1500 for a new bumper cover can wait a bit

It's all fucked up. Body shop said about $400 just to REPAIR it, which would be stupid at that point. It'll get a new one one day.

Re: Sleepydsm's 2006 Evo IX GSR
Hell, I'm rebuilding my entire engine without even getting to drive it first and I don't have buyer's remorse. I might if I find out the tranny and everything else is shot though. 
The nice thing is I've got my good old trusty DSM to fall back on if this doesn't work out, but I think it will. Keep your chin up, it's not even spring yet.
