Hey all, I'm currently an evo 8 owner with a fully built evo 8 on an Fp black making 465/415 on pump gas. Thinking about picking up an ss possibly! I've always had a soft spot for the lnf cobalt ss preferably a sedan with the rpd display. I know the yellow sedan is the rarest but this one I still think seems overpriced but mYbe I am wrong I'd love some opinions.

Cheers

I decided I'd rather save 5.5lbs at each corner Vs keeping the stance look.

Haha yeah went more to the performance aspect. I also got a set of the recaro seats from an Evo x and built it so they would fit

I like the way the older wheels looked more but at the same time 5.5 lbs saving in each corner was a LOT and so many people around me have the 527 XXR

That sedan is very clean, low miles, and nicely modded. Sadly kinda overpriced for the market atm. I would be personally willing to give maybe 14-15k for it as is, but not 17. There is two
coupes I know of one coupe going for 18k with like 7k miles, and another with like 200miles going for I think 19.5. Those are more fairly priced than this sedan. Id go for it and try t oget it for 14-15. anything over walk away unless you intend on keeping the car indefinitely.

What's the deal with the gap between the fenders and the front doors on your Evo? Looks like the fenders are wider than the rest of the car.

Fender mod. It's a piece I built that spaces the front fender in order to give you a bit more clearance for wider rims. My older ones were 9.75in wide and even with the roll I wanted some extra space for safety.

I've just always loved evo 8 and 9's. The X is growing on me, I've seen some done up very nice, but it'll never beat the 9 body. Granted, unless it's turbo swapped, I've beaten every one that I've come across.
