Grounding kit, probably the sports pedals too. Yes, floormats too, though I never really think of that as an accessory.

It already comes with alloy wheels and floor mats so I dont understand why Mitsubishi lists them, unless they are for spare/replacements.

Mine came with floor mats. I kind of skeptical on the sports meter kit. Only because I would kind of like to leave the area they use for the sports meter for something else. I think Im going to go with one of those kits that puts it up in your front left part of the windshield. What do you all think about that type of set up. I always thought that looked pretty sweet. Could put a boost control in the sports meter's place, or something else. Just seems like an invaluable area to fill up with the kit.

Believe me guys and ladies, you are going to love your car, mine is the ****. Just got to figure out how to use my digital camera. I can take the picture, but havent figured the whole computer part yet. (i hate to read instructions )

I didn't know they had an in-dash cd changer?? But the brake coolers and maybe the rear strut tower brace works for me... I like the instrument cluster surrounds, makes everything jump out at you...

The floormats are standard. The alloys are a different kind, more like the ones on the VII GSR if my memory is correct. More intricate (ie difficult to clean) kinda like classic BBS wheels.

Anyone who doesn't put wheel locks on the car the MINUTE they buy it is DUMB! Those rims are expensive. I have 2 different sets on mine already.

I was told by our parts guy that the "optional rims" are not available. They were accidently put in the Evo 8 brochure and weren't suppose to be in there.

Floormats do come standard. Not sure why that's an option.

i think the stock floor mats already say evolution on them. kinda pointless ti oay for floor mats just to have it say an extra VIII...

personally i would only get the wheel locks, everything else i rather get aftermarket

Went for the wheel locks, sport pedal kit, and door sill scuff plates. Everything else has been after market.

Door sill plates are pretty hot. I'd suggest them soley for vanity's sake. Way too pricey for what you get, but still.

And I can't tell if you guys are joking or not, but if your not my matts came from the dealership saying Evolution VIII.

Went from a fella that posted here with a homemade grounding kit, and for only $40 it rocked. Just ordered a Greddy Counterweight shift knob which will arrive next week, have Blitz gauges ready to install, totally gutted the stereo and wiring and went with an Eclipse head unit, MB Quarts in the front, JL 6" subs in the back deck, all powered by a JL 300/4 amp...

And so far have installed everything myself. For this little gearhead wannabe, life is good. : )

Oh, have been reading about swapping out the shifter bushing. If its not too off topic could anyone comment on whether or not they thing its worth it?

Keep rockin like dokken.

heres the gauges in my oz. i put them in there to cover up the hole from moving my head unit to the bottom. looks cool though and i hooked the boost gauge up to my intake and it wont go above 0 bar. it keeps my passengers entertained though
