Hey everyone, So I got my car like this and its been sticking out like a thore thumb ever since and makes the interior look a little crappy. I'm not sure whether or not I would need a new trim piece (which I can't find) or a new seat, which I really don't want to spend the money for.
Also, the front trim piece keeps falling out everytime a break or turn hardly and after awhile it gets kinda annoying.
Does anyone know a solution to these issues? Anything will be helpful, thanks.
Damn man, I redid my seats a few months ago and bought out the remaining inventory of those from mitsubishi. Just sold the last ones like 3 weeks ago
if you look overseas for Evo 5 or Evo 6 seatbelt guides there are some out there still (they were never marketed for 8/9, but mitsubishi imported the 5/6 ones to reduce warranty costs versus replacing seat backs).
There won't be any more us ones though, they obsoleted it (why I bought them all so they didn't get sent back to jp )
I might still have my old ones somewhere (they were fine, just wanted to replace them so they were tighter on the thicker material), will take a look this weekend.
i have never seen those seats, could they have possibly be redone? Never seen the mitsu logo on the seat, maybe wasnt put back since they got redone.

Maybe you can install those inserts yourself or is it time for a reupholster?
Also, not familiar w/that logo on the seats. Looks like the seats were already reupholstered?
Yea, im 99.9% sure the pervious owner had the seats re-done. They are like a leather, vinyl material.. Honestly, who ever did them didn't do such a great job lol. And I would get the seats replaced, it's just that the side panels match the seats.. And I don't wanna pay for 4 panels too

Bump
does anyone know a cheap alternative rather than buying a new seat? It won't look as good, but at least something that's better than the current eye sore it is.
