Thanks!

I was just looking at those brushed aluminum plates. Wished they have it plain than with those initials stamped on.


I know I won't be able to do half the mods you've already done, but I certainly do appreciate your time & efforts and for posting your experiences with them.

For the floormats I HIGHLY recommend the WeatherTech Digital Fit Floorliners: http://www.weathertech.com/mitsubish...er-digitalfit/

I have the two front and the trunk liners (I rarely, if ever, have anyone in the second row) and the fit is absolutely perfect and the protection is amazing, and I think they look great as well. Plus, they're made in the USA!


For the hitch, I actually got my Curt's Class III from Amazon.com of all places. They had a cheaper base price than anywhere else AND it was Prime eligible for free shipping. I think it was $130 to my door?


Lastly, be careful about adding electronics. I just happened to look up how much a replacement alternator was for these and it's about $1,200.00!!! I'm guessing that has to do a lot with the regenerative braking and the "smart" alternating system that supposedly nets better MPG's.

mRVRsport

Thanks for the suggestion. For mats I think I'll just go cheap. Not expecting that much usage/wear-age...

Yeah, I just happen to see the price for those alternators! I'll definitely be careful. Thanks for the heads up.

well, I have a 2012 outlander sport gray color with stick shift transmission. I do not know what to do with it, it feels boring, i would like to have a link where i can purchase a turbo, all these good stuffs that you added to your cars there are no links. I love the car but I need sources where to buy things.

Burtonrider1002

Road Race Motorsports is probably the biggest O-Sport specific vendor. Otherwise we're all just hodge-podging things together from Lancers, full size Outlanders, and w/e else fits...

(amazon.com is the best place for the K&N panel filter, $42 shipped)

guys I found the perfect body kit and just for $,1050.00 and it comes from Japan http://www.nengun.com/damd/styling-e...mitsubishi-rvr

Burtonrider1002

I like the front splitter, and the sides are nice too, but I sure do not care for that rear valence or ginormous wing.

TEXAS TRAVISTY

yeah i saw that a while back he has a video on line as will talking about it in Japanese. the front does look good! can't find anyone in the states selling it though... i would like to know how much bigger the rear spoiler is than the stock one thats on mine...

Hey that kit looks damn good
Thanks for sharing!

However, it's a bit pricey, imo.
I'd pay the price IF it was painted to match our specific color codes.

mbaus87

No problem, the price i believe is alright for the whole kit $1,050.oo I think is reasonable. I would buy it unpainted. If any of you know if they speak english or not and according with the page unless I am misunderstanding the price includes shipping.

TEXAS TRAVISTY

when i checked it out awhile back the website was not in English n it was no set up to order. is that link to a US site in English with a shopping cart so you can purchase? any quote on shipping?

Have fun paying for freight shipping from Japan. IF you must order body parts from Japan, the RVR Roadest is my favorite iteration of our cars yet and it's OEM:

the price is outrageous on the link u gave us. I rather pay US $ 2,098 for the other page I put and thats including shipping and already painted matte black.
