To all 05 owners: A small 03 Evo to 05 Evo difference I just noticed......

I just had a 3M clear bra installed on my car over the weekend, and after picking up the car I drove over to my uncle's house.

When I get to his house I go into his garage and see his 03 BBY Evo.

And.......


What I noticed is that the exterior black plastic molding around all the four windows and the B-pillar have a gloss polished finish.

I look at my 05 and see a totally different matte black finish.

I touch my molding just to see if it was just dirty, but the same results.

Maybe Mitsubishi cut back on the clear coated plastic for the 05 Evos to offset the ACD and 10.5 hotside

Maybe it's just me.


P.S. I wish my digicam was working; a picture would show the difference.

Feel free to chime in.

I think it looks better in a matte finish. Gloss

So you have the same finish on your 05?
