window replacement?

for what are probably fairly obvious reasons, I need a new drivers side window.

I know that the evo has thinner glass than the regular lancer. Is the only place I can get it at the mitsu dealer? also, would the regular lancer glass fit if that turns out to be a lot cheaper?

fireball, your a-pillar has gone to the great big evo in the sky.

I'm thinking I may go the stealth route with my car sooner than anticipated. But first and foremost, can anyone help me on the glass? Of course this happens when we are expecting 2 inches of snow

the regular one works.. don't buy the BS that mitsu puts out..

try your local auto glass shops.. also, check your insurance, sometimes it's cheaper to go that route, and your premiums will not increase if you use it

Mitsu is not the only place you can get the lightweight glass...as my WRX driving friend has found out, you can get the glass from other glass companies too. But Mitsu does put out A LOT of crap, my rear pads have like half the pad left, and they said I had like a week before they started eating the rotors...

basically, I was on my way to the bars last night and glanced at my car and something looked weird. I went over and the drivers side window was smashed in. All they took was my a-pillar with the crappy $40 gauges. didn't take the stereo, afc2, cds...

Probably because it was just a smash and grab. It's well lit and I can even see the car from my apartment. I can't see what they'll do with it. If I see it duck taped to a civic a pillar, I guess I can start asking questions With some of the crap that gets driven around here and to the north, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

So now I'm looking at other options for gauges as well as thinking about making the car a bit more stealth.

So Donour, I guess I won't need that vacuum tube

Damn, that sucks. It was raining yesterday, did your interior get damaged?

Oh -- Last night, I picked up an a-piller super cheap from a street vendor in in wrigelyville. Only 'slightly used'.

I'm sure it got fairly wet, but I didn't check because it was covered in glass
