    +1 ako dito. The Evo is not about looks. Everything has a purpose. It has holes for cooling. Its wings and body kits help it stick to the ground.

    Pansin mo sa picture may umbok sya over the rear fenders? That's to accommodate the wider track. The front fenders are also wider. You can't do that cheaply on a stock EX.

    Holes in the hood will let water drip on your engine. The real hood is aluminum and has rain channels. Again not easy and cheap.

    I can understand the need to look maangas. We all went through that stage. After a while though you will realize that all show and no go won't fool the people that matter.

    Keep it simple and clean. Nice rims and a bit of lowering go a long way.

    I was thinking about to change for the hood because of cooling nga...but to be looks like that....kasi pansin ko mabilis uminit engine ng 2.0... And the temperature easily rise up into half in just a minute or two.

    why is that so?

    But yeah, what about the water.. It could pass through the hood and wets the engine.. Is this a treat to the engine?


    I like the rims too.. That's why im preparing for it.

    Engines are designed to warm up fast. The thermostat does not allow coolant to circulate until the engine reaches its operating temp. Those hood holes won't help.

    Check your manual for the proper ranges. On most Japanese brands half is normal. Buti ka pa nga may temp gauge ka pa. Most cars only have an idiot light that turns off when the operating temp is reached.
