I ended up getting them direct from that site. According to the parts guys I spoke with, the only ones in the state were at the Don Herring in Irving (3 of the 4 pieces) and El Paso (the 4th piece).

They could have been lying, I suppose, but I still got them for almost half price (including shipping). Pretty good deal overall.

I went to Tritek for tint and they melted those on my windows with a propane torch on my Mazda. I had to replace $1k worth of glass, those parts were not sold separately. I am glad to see you can buy just those on the Mitsu's.

They cost you a grand just putting on tint? That'd be some cash they'd better come up with themselves if it were my car.

No they installed the tint for ~$150 IIRC and during the install they used a propane torch on my windows to heat the tint and melted all of the rubber around the 4 windows. I had to have all 4 windows replaced. And I couldn't complain to anyone really, the owner is the one who did it. Go figure!

You could still sue them. Screw complaining.

The owner ended up footing the bill in the end. I never cared for the car much after that.

Well that's good then (about the footing the bill thing). I've *never* heard of using a torch to heat up tint film...that's just retarded.

I'm not sure the parts are the same. I have a Ralliart. The GTS has some compatible parts with the Ralliart, but I'm not sure they work with the Evo.
