I've been slowly restoring my 2015 Evo X MR in Octane Blue, and it's finally about 90% complete!

My goal has always been to preserve the original factory appearance with a few subtle OEM+ touches. Nothing too aggressive, just a clean, timeless look while bringing this 11-year-old Evo back to pristine condition.

What's been done so far:

• OEM black side mirror covers
• Aftermarket gloss black hood scoop and vents
• Refinished OEM BBS wheels in silver
• Repainted brake calipers gold (a little WRX/STI inspiration!)
• Replaced worn rubber seals, trim pieces, and bumper components
• Refreshed aging exterior parts
• Fresh PPF and ceramic coating

What's next:

• Replace the rusted brake rotors
• Redo the brake calipers with a proper powder-coated finish
• Replace a few more worn or aging components
• Install some remaining OEM accessories

I've been taking my time and working on it piece by piece. The goal isn't to build the fastest or most heavily modified Evo, but to keep it looking as close to showroom condition as possible.

I'm hoping to maintain this condition for another decade, maybe even longer. I want this car to age gracefully while preserving what makes the Evo X special.

Still a few things left to do, but slowly getting there. Really happy with how the Octane Blue turned out after the PPF and ceramic coating!

Hey EVO gents!

Wanting to see if anyone is running this wheel setup snd what tyre combo did you have on it. Pictures would be great so please share if you do!
