$20 DIY Vortex Generator mod ANYONE CAN DO! (Evo X) 

DEFINITELY gonna learn to use this lens better. Sorry if I gave anyone out there a headache 😂😂😂❤️

ur cameras focus is worse than mine was in school.

Bruh, auto focus needs some adjusting.... lmao

the lens makes me want to throw up but it would be very good for pictures

Couldn't finish watching due to autofocus (making me dizzy lol) That lens is good for photos just wouldn't push it for video.

what makes them a "vortex generator" over just a bunch of fins on your roof is that a real vortex generator has ~15° angle on the outermost fin, and the angle slowly shifts so the innermost fin per side is either 0° or slightly angled negatively to the first so they pull air into two vorteces, actually creating downforce by pulling air from the low pressure zone over the trunk, not just interrupt the air for no reason. but it still looks cool!

Lens is fire but struggles to focus

You should get a shark fin antenna...

The ricer Evan Shanks at it again!

Just some advice for the new lens: I assume you are shooting wide open at f/1.4. this obviously creates a really shallow depth of field and makes the camera search for focus a lot because the camera is always moving in your hand. Try setting the aperture to f/2 or maybe even a little higher. This should still give you the nice bokeh effect that you are going for but will reduce the focus searching because the depth of field won't be as shallow. Hope this helps!

Those look super cheap.

That was really ugly! Get the real stuff instead!

Dude I genuinely enjoy your content so much. Thank you for putting out such high quality. I’ve never done this before, but just an idea. Could totally flop. But if you would’ve put a strip of painters tape right below where you wanted to place them, and then put tick marks with a marker on the tape before you place them down, I think it would’ve given you a good visual to make sure everything’s even before final placement.

Evan get a different splitter for your car like a voltex one

"I'm going all out on this Evo" *Buys $20 vortex generators" 😒

I like the individual vortex generators apposed to the strip. It really doesn't seem like they are offset dramatically at a glance and at different camera angles. Maybe you can get the "secret sauce" sprayed on those and then they would look even more part of the roof.

yall digging this new lens? Won't use it for every vlog but always trying to step up the quality game!

My eyesight went down 2 minutes into this video.. RIP

The 35 f/1.4 costs like a kidney.. but vlogging at f/.4 is tough for the autofocus.. a prime lens such as that is meant for portraits, not for vlogging. If you use that for photography, product photography, car photography etc it will be awesome but not for videos.. Or at least try it not as wide open as f/1.4 try f/2.5 or something like that. But i think you know it better than me haha.. I looks AMAZING for slow mo videos ahah

Evan at 5.28 lol was the look we all got when we saw the mods . Lol that was so funny . Gotta love a woman’s honesty

When you have it on just the tripod throw it in Manuel focus so it stops hunting. Auto focus it so it’s in focus and then put it in Manuel so it just stays in focus when you’re working.

Try working off a centerline, all measurements will come out perfect. Looks good tho

It’s always the little things with your cars. That’s what I love about your channel. Evan your the man!

Aye man glad you took my advice for the vortex! Thats awesome looks good. If you ever redo them i forgot to mention to buy your own 3m tape that is thinner. Gives a much better fit... No slight gap. Keep it up man!! I color matched mine to my evo looks sick

Don't normally comment but for what it's worth all three cars look sick dude. Being in the UK love your Japanese theme going on. And as for the lense issue best way to test is to use so I'm sure your looking at its best way forward kinda thing love every vid you have posted..v

Great job Evan. I really wish that vortex generator went perfect. And that slider affect with camera on tail light was superb.

I love the idea with the clear break light making it red, my ford focus has the exact same thing, so ya I am going to do that too. Something you might want to check out is a LED 3M light strip, sold for truck tailgates. It does breaks, and signals. I added one to my Ford Focus and it looks sweet, making the clear break light red will be even better. Car overall is black but has a lot of red. I was watching your video because I am adding vortex generators which I painted red.

i like your channel along with tj whom always get the main subject of the topic and stay on it instead of preaching and talking about there merch

You should have pulled the dip off where you put them on so when you take the dip off you wouldn’t have to re install them

Hey, that red third break light, damn i never thought, that it will looks better! Will do it also to my Lancer, thanks for inspiration.

Easily the nicest evo x i've ever seen.

I always am in love with vortex generators!! Not just Japanese cars only

You're right about those things flying off I had one of the big plastic ones on my WRX and it snapped in half on the freeway at 120+ mph lol

My brother has these on his Ford Focus and for the tealish green it came with, it looks pretty nice

Does this mean a big wang is in store for the evo?

If you turn up the aperature on your camera the auto focus won’t be so weird because you’ll have a wider range of focus. Just an FYI for a little bit better quality

Evan I think you should get some tire shine for all of your cars but I’m really lovin the builds

to make em even i think you would have had to lay em out straight on grid paper, tape em together and put it on as kind of one piece. What im talking about is the same way that they sell emblems so you can put the words on straight.

I know you know this video quality wasn’t the best but I APPRECIATE THE VIDEO ANYWAY! Still good content and don’t sweat the haters bro. Also pls go big wing 👌

I think for the smoked vinyl you could of spray some water ? I’ve seen premium do that good tip All though the car has a meaner look now 👍🏻

You should get some kind small duck tail spoiler to match those👌🏻👌🏻🔥🔥 keep the subtle look going

I've been waiting for that 3rd brake light tint since you put the aftermarket taillights 👍🏼👌🏼😎

Also the minimum focus distance may be a bit different than you are used too which could cause the AF problem.

Finally a decent lens, just use it when you need to. I wouldn't necessarily say for vlogging.

Do an antenna delete or shark fin antenna

Dude... that BOKEH is on POINT! Definitely better suited for artistic shots vs running and gunning though. Not a big fan of the vortex generators, they always look so "stuck on". Guess I am old school with my mods. If it doesn't look like it could have come factory like that I usually don't like it. (The fenders do work depending on the car, the EVO pulls it off IMHO).

I actually like the b-roll with the lens

Evan shanks squad is up in here

You work on youtube you know your comments section will never let you forget that half inch

Thank god a video in this series with a comment section that isn't filled with pointless hate... they are roasting the camera lens tho lol

Great vid. Just had to take my mind off how many times your camera went on and off focus. Quality was on point tho

Sooo not sure what lens you were using before this video, BUT from someone who has done a ton of research into lenses and test quite a few. The sigma 18-35 1.8 art lens is super good with focus on a canon and the quality is incredible! Just a recommendation! Love the cars look though!

Why do every subie and evo do this, looks like shite

I wouldn't use this lens for normal vlogs, just because there is bokeh doesn't mean its better. I'd stick to a wide angle with good autofocus.

F/1.4 on that lens might be good for pictures, but the continuous auto focus isn’t very good. Definitely go back to something with better AF and use a smaller aperture

Dude you dont use a 35mm 1.4 for vloging try the 9-14 f4 its amaxing

Evan if you ever decide to redo this, take your heat gun and bend the bases of the vortex generators to get a curve to match the roofline. really easy Also, that Evo is SUPER mean! love the widebody

i love your lens. it just has shallow depth of field set other wise nice!

If you stick on a nd the autofocus will work a bit better and you won't have the blown out look

That car would pop more if pearl white black splitters carbon hood and phat carbon wing.maybe add an nx express incooler sprayer to compensate for that tx heat.

When you get the APR carbon wing

WHEN IS THE WING EVAN

Evan you need a carbon fiber VMS shorty antenna to go with the carbon generators.

The lense would look good for pictures but not for the videos But those tail lights tho! 😍🤤 best mod done to the evo

Should have take them to dip place to make them same color like secret sauce

I think the rear diffuser would look good sprayed in gloss black

Please evan, bring back the old lens. The focus is a nightmare

I'm glad you found the note! Cheers from Frisco!

Notification Gang bby, btw where I live. ‘Samyang’ is an instant noodle brand...😂

I had to laugh so bad when you said "Look at this sick ass design we just did."

lens is fine but maybe you should close up the aperture so it isn’t cranked to 1.4 the whole time. Would fix some of the focus issues.

Sorry Evan I couldn't watch this video cause of the lens🙁

Yo Evan, for that lens it might be better to not film with it wide open at f/1.4. maybe shoot at like f/4 or something so the focus is better and we can see more. Then you can open it up again for the cinematics 💣

The new lens barely focuses but good video lol. Keep the old lens

I feel like a big wing for the Evo is coming and I can't wait for it

Just bump to like f4 on your camera and you should be good because it gives you a greater depth of field which could help with the autofocusing problems.

Woooohooo finally the 3rd brake light matches 😂👍🏽

I feel like I'm watching an Evan shanks dream

Nice aperture, but not wide enough. You can also hear it autofocusing

You need AF-S lens bro. One good autofocus will make your blogs much easier to film

If anything. Just because you have f/1.4. Don’t use it in video. It’s such a small focus plain. Use at least f4. Sure it won’t give you that fine depth of field. But you won’t be hunting for focus as much. 1.4 is great for photos, astrophotography, or lens dependent a nice bokeh. But not so much for video. Change your f-stop. If you need more light, check shutter speed. But don’t adjust too low. Should be generally double your shooting mode. Eg 1080/60. 1/120th ss. 1080/30. 1/60 ss. Easiest step is ISO, but image quality will purely be dependant on camera when you start bumpin that up.

Hey Evan I new to making videos. I was wondering what lens size do you use when you point the camera at yourself and the lens on this video. Thanks for the help. Keep up the good work!

Make the car go vroom vroom

Use some isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the super dong ghost/residue cheap and great for cleaning anything!

You need a wing of some sort

Victoria's face at 5:28 was my reaction too

New lens is great

Cars look dope man!!

In all honesty, the new lens gave me a headache and I couldn't watch anymore of the video. The vortex generator idea is good as an idea but it doesn't look good.

The lense zooms in good and it looks good just weird when it blurs everything your not looking at

The EVO is the tight

Love your video dude❤

Replace the hot dog with a Five-Three supply lime green sticker to match the calipers!

@evan i just realized you look like eric foreman from that 70’s show

There’s nothing wrong with the bokeh lens. It’s just you’ll have to start using it for manual focusing.

Love your videos bro keep up the good work

Just a tip I think would help next time is put a strip of painters tape and mark your spacing.

New lens is trash for video, would be good for pics

I don't think the camera is the best quality for videos but amazing for pictures!😉

Quality looks awesome but Evan . I think you can use these lenses for cinematic cuts. 🙃 just a tip. Thankssssss #shanksquad
