hey, yes i still like the evo over the Z. If i would have test drove both cars when i was purchasing the Z, i would have went with the Evo. Besides the pretty obvious things wrong with the Z (brake fade, oil temps and not very practical) its a pretty good car, but i can get practicality plus better performance in the evo for the same price. I just spent $10,000 on the evo, cant wait to get home in 3 weeks to install all the parts.
The powder coating was 50 bucks. I got the Z emblems at thezstore.com, I bought the carbon fiber and took them to a body shop and had them painted (20bucks).
