Who needs a Jeep when you have a Mirage?
Purchased in June of 2018 to save fuel and as a reliable daily driver. Installed OEM Cruise and a few little things here and there.
Gets 45MPG with 50 happening fairly often. Enjoyable little car imo.
Nickname is from TMNT.
Day I picked it up vs now
Added the OEM console an hour after I bought it.
OEM Cruise installed.
Some NOS (New old stock) Momo leather shift knob, since i hate the bland stock one.
Working OEM Cruise.

Well, I decided to buy myself a birthday present.
tada!
I couldn't wait, had to place them on to see how it looked.
Then I installed them. It's pretty easy. One hole needed drilled to hold it in the back, the rest were using existing holes and tape.
And just for fun
You didn't put on rocker panel protect film first?

They are sold in some markets with no side airdam/trim at all, so I'm not worried about it anyways. In my area the cars have structual rust before rock chips cause any real damage lol.
I thought the orange really popped in this picture.
Really, at this point my only complaint about the car is the seat. I need a height adjustable seat.
Hey I have an update.
I was walking around a junkyard and saw a late model Full-Size Outlander and took it's steering wheel and shift knob!
So this happened:
SO HAPPY. This wheel is AWESOME.
No luck finding a 2019+ base seat with height adjustment close by yet. A few have popped up on car-part.com but they're always too far.
I also want to find the glossy door armrests to match everything of course.
