Agreed x100, the Evo 9 is a classic.
Star Specs are nice but Tire Rack price-jacked the hell out of them. V12's are really nice for daily but they're not raw enough if you just want pure performance. I'd also check out the Federal 595 RSR's (dirt cheap and GOBS of grip, ridiculous amounts really), Hankook RS3 (pretty much the highest grip non-slick you can buy today), or Nitto NT05's (I've run these and even though they're loud as fuck, they have awesome grip).
If you ever need anything, just hit me up and I'll see if I can find a good price for you.
Ok, let me wash it and take some pics. I spent 15 hours the other week doing a full clay, compound cut, polish, and wax on the paint, basically restored it to a factory fresh level. All I've got is the A-Spec rear bumper. :\
But hey, it's a 6 speed! lol
