Very nice, I just got the exact same car a little over a month ago! And definitely do what this gentleman said - I've just got both of them done myself. Your options for mudflaps are either Rally Armor (cheap), or the OEMs, which I think look infinitely better but are expensive. If that's important to you, check the Mitsubishi accessories website and scroll down to the bottom - there should be a 10% off coupon that you can use (says expires 08/01, but they've had the same coupon updated each month for the last 3 months).
Anywho, welcome to the club of MG color FE's!

Thanks! I am lovin the MG color and the overall driving experience.
Were you able to work them a bit on the pricing for your EVO? Did you get partial clear bra or the full front end?
I am still hesitant but I know it does a great job at protecting the paint. Mostly, due to the eventual yellowing and potential color disparity over time between the covered and exposed paint areas.
Definitely clear bra the front. Mitsubishi paint is not very durable. I have xpel ultimate on my car is its a great product http://www.xpel.com/xpel-ultimate-pa...otection-film/
You should bring your X out to the Ridge for a track day http://ridgemotorsportspark.com/

Might have to see about the River Run. The car is still new new and breaking in. Also, have a newborn (and family) that take priority.

I haven't been looking into any clutch recommendations yet. I am sure some of the veterans on here could help with that. I am at 500+ miles right now and clutch is feeling excellent so far. I am surprised the clutch is gone at around 5200 miles. I suspect that its operator error at that point. Sorry to hear that.

In the Area!
Hello everyone! Just picked up a 2015 EVO FE this weekend. Went from a 2011 IS350 to the EVO. I missed having a MT in my life. I feel like I made the right decision. I am in the PNW - WA. Wouldn't mind getting to know some of the other local EVO enthusiasts in the area.
I saw this car there last year and it was one of 3 they had left. I wound up buying a new MR from a dealer in CO. Just drove it back to Seattle in August. Let me know if your up for a coffee and I we can meet some where half way depending on where you live? Im in West Seattle OH.. and FYI, go with the OEM gear and baby it. No throttling above 5,000 rpm for the fist 600 miles. I have done 4,560 in mine and just had the first oil change done at 2,980.
