BTW - I was in the Orlando area last week, and did not see ONE Evo. The place was overrun with 350z though.

I had the same problem on my 03 evo. I HATED it! I never did get a chance to fix it, but I had plans to recover it in new black suede. I got ssl now, so I have no wear spots!!

Mine is starting to have the same issue. For some reason went cheap on the door panels with the very thin fabric compared to other models. My girls 02 lancer RA has much better panels than my 06 GSR...
