I'm looking forward to learning AND contributing to this vehicle's platform & Knowledge Base.

I was just looking at those brushed aluminum plates. Wished they have it plain than with those initials stamped on.
I know I won't be able to do half the mods you've already done, but I certainly do appreciate your time & efforts and for posting your experiences with them.

For the floormats I HIGHLY recommend the WeatherTech Digital Fit Floorliners: http://www.weathertech.com/mitsubish...er-digitalfit/
I have the two front and the trunk liners (I rarely, if ever, have anyone in the second row) and the fit is absolutely perfect and the protection is amazing, and I think they look great as well. Plus, they're made in the USA!
For the hitch, I actually got my Curt's Class III from Amazon.com of all places. They had a cheaper base price than anywhere else AND it was Prime eligible for free shipping. I think it was $130 to my door?
Lastly, be careful about adding electronics. I just happened to look up how much a replacement alternator was for these and it's about $1,200.00!!! I'm guessing that has to do a lot with the regenerative braking and the "smart" alternating system that supposedly nets better MPG's.

Yeah, I just happen to see the price for those alternators! I'll definitely be careful. Thanks for the heads up.

well, I have a 2012 outlander sport gray color with stick shift transmission. I do not know what to do with it, it feels boring, i would like to have a link where i can purchase a turbo, all these good stuffs that you added to your cars there are no links. I love the car but I need sources where to buy things.

Road Race Motorsports is probably the biggest O-Sport specific vendor. Otherwise we're all just hodge-podging things together from Lancers, full size Outlanders, and w/e else fits...
(amazon.com is the best place for the K&N panel filter, $42 shipped)

Thanks for sharing!
However, it's a bit pricey, imo.
I'd pay the price IF it was painted to match our specific color codes.

No problem, the price i believe is alright for the whole kit $1,050.oo I think is reasonable. I would buy it unpainted. If any of you know if they speak english or not and according with the page unless I am misunderstanding the price includes shipping.

Have fun paying for freight shipping from Japan. IF you must order body parts from Japan, the RVR Roadest is my favorite iteration of our cars yet and it's OEM:
