What on your EVO shows the most wear and tear?

Besides tires and mechanical things, what is showing the most wear from normal use on your car? Maybe list the mileage, any useful info.


For me I'd have to say the front lower plastic trim pieces that are sometimes called door stills. My god they look like crap compared to the rest of my 10/10 mint interior. 25k miles and those still look like they should be in a car with 4x times the miles. At least it's only a $50 replacement cost for both.


Also the fabric on the arm rest looks like it will start to show signs of wear pretty soon also. (What do you guys use to clean yours btw?)

My hood has to have atleast 200 little rock chips, my rocker panels where in pretty bad shape but I get them repainted. The previous owner neglected the interior, I'd give it a 5/10. Seats are worn and have some stains, same with the carpet and the trim is fading, he was also a smoker. 51k miles on it.

Driiver seat has a hole from getting in and out, other than that it stays covered in dust since I live on a gravel road.

Ha, yeah it's driving me nuts.. when I bought the car you could count the paint imperfections on one hand and have fingers left over. Now after road racing, ugh.. I need a few friends to count fingers with me

My steering wheel is faded and continues to fade more and my arm rest top is fading badly too. Planning on putting Alcantara on them soon.

My hood is a giant collection of rock chips. Road racing + thin paint = mad chips.

I have 69,xxx miles on my evo and have some rock chips on the hood and front bumper. Also, the outer edge of my drivers seat has a wear mark from getting in and out. Oh and the infamous clear coat fading on the wing is starting to show.

I feel your pain. Put 4 track weekends on mine since purchase last fall, not too much damage from debris until my last weekend @ Charlotte Motorspeedway. Rubber debris on track @ 130+mph following an Ultima GTR = numerous dings on the front bumper, hood, and a chipped windshield.

Other than that the previous owner must have not been to careful with the keys since there are scratches all over near the key holes and on the trunk. Looking to cheap out and just get it wrapped in flat black instead of a re-paint. Driver seat is fading and and very worn.

73k on the odometer.
