I'm open to any possibilities/suggestions. I could buy an STi with the money but I decided just to keep my speed and mod it more. It's paid off completely and I have a budget of about 10k.
no hating plox

I'll use this thread as a progress log of installing everything with pictures and what not. (breakn)
 
I want to keep my speed and buy an Evo GSR in a few years instead since it's better than the STi in multiple areas.
 
I thought they were going to stop making the Evo? Or are you getting a used one...?

Probably a 2011 or 12 used at the time it'll be cheaper more room to mod especially since there probably wont be a faster/better car in that class and price range than the Evo X. Better than an STi and when modded can give ferrari and GT-Rs a run for their money.

Yeah for keeping the MS3 and modding the hell out of it. cant wait to see the progress pictures.
Glad someone agrees!
 
WASTE OF MONEY, JUST LOOK THROUGH FORUMS AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE MODDED THE MS3 ONLY TO SELL IT LONG BEFORE THEY GET THEIR MONEYS WORTH FOR A LOT LESS THAN THE SPENT ON IT!!!
But I guess if you got the spare money it doesn't matter what you spend it on!
 
Well considering the only money I personally have in the car is on my mods and what I choose to do to it, I'm not too worried about wasting money, I have a couple k to enjoy on it. The car was given to me though so I'm very grateful for that and completely fine with spending a few grand in making it even more enjoyable for me :)

Looks pretty good man. There's some MS3 guys getting together soon in Denver. A few of them are big turbo. You should check it out. PM me. Also, let us know how we can help with your future mods.

Haha I was the one who emailed you the other day who lives in Boulder and asked if you could install my gauges for me.
 
Rear diffuser from DG painted matte black and installed. It fits great, has limited functionality.

pretty easy install except for the top two bolts that attach to where the rear reflectors typically are, such a pain in the ass if you don't remove the whole bumper.
 
Just installed DG carbon fiber front lip, mustache cover, and upper grille cover today, pics coming tomorrow!
