    I also want to find the glossy door armrests to match everything of course.
    Nice upgrade from the Mitsubishi parts bin, of what is possible and available. Good idea for those looking for replacement shift knobs. Also, if the glossy arm rests are cushiony, I should be on the lookout for the same part. Neat idea, looks sharp.

    I have completed a few more junkyard mods and added some sound deadening. I grabbed a few doors worth of sound insulation to add some additional insulation to my existing doors and also got a large chunk of butyl mat to add some additional sound deadening behind the speakers and on the door in a few places to cut down on the buzziness. The front doors sound like a bank vault!

    Added chrome handles from a GT as well.

    I also found a friend. Amazing what Mitsubishi could do if they just made the side skirts standard and put better hubcaps on these.

    Figured I should update this, I traded this in April of 2020.

    I'll find one as a beater eventually.

    That's a shame after you did all that work on it! It was looking great!

    Hope you enjoy your new car, though

    Thanks for the update. So, what did you trade for and what prompted the trade?

    It was honestly too small for me, I'm quite tall/big and I fit but anything more then an hour was too long.

    Plus I need a truck.
