Hitting 200,000 Miles?
Take some pics of the VIN and the car and odometer and send them to Mitsubishi. You never know, they may hook you up, perhaps re clear coat that spoiler. I have a friend who brought his Evo to the dealership for routine maintenance, warranty was up, and the manager saw his wing fading and just ordered him a new one and replaced it for free.
A cool story I saw when I owned my VW GTI..VW did a search of who had the highest mileage and oldest GTI. They gave the guy a Toureg for free for one year LOL.
I also read in a Mitsu magazine, when I was waiting for some work to get done at Mitsu, a guy with a 200,000 mile 3000GT sent in pics and they did a nice article on it.

The body is holding together great!
No rust except for the surface stuff on the undercarriage due to the winter driving and salt. Sometimes I get to put her on a lift and wash her belly.
Paint is original and now, looking stone chipped to hell in the front bumper,oh well..

But Yeah, I guess I'll see what Mitsu says. Maybe get free floor mats or an oil change...
Most OEM's engineer vehicle components to last 150,000+ miles with normal maintenance, so I'm not terribly surprised you're car is approaching the 200K mark.
I think the surprising thing here is, most Evo drivers really put their cars through hell (poor mods, 'spirited' driving, lack of maintenance), and many break parts due to driver abuse.
So kudos to you for taking care of it!
