evo arm rest worn out already
I have a 05 mr with 16,300 miles on it and the arm rest on the center console and drivers door are all worn out looking. i was wondering if anyone else has this problem and do you think i can get mitsu to cover it under warranty. i know they dont like to cover things under warranty i had to figure that out the hard way when my oil temp gage broke and they wouldnt replace it because of a aftermarket head unit. that just boggled my mind

Yeah mine did the same I am only at 23k and my seat and center console and door are showing alot of wear. You would think Recaro would use a better quality fabric. Luckily I have an Extra drivers seat to replace my worn one when it gets to bad or I sell it. Now I just need another center console and find someway to not wear out my door fabric. I wish I had the option of the guys with new Evo's to get the leather package oh well maybe on my next Evo.

I have the problem pretty bad on my '03, but have never mentioned it. I'm sure that Mitsu would say: "That's normal wear!" . So, I'm going to get the carbon fiber piece myself.

it can be pretty cool but it is really not my thing... sometimes I think it just makes the car look like it´s salvage...

i'll ask the dealer but like you guys said they will make up some crap. i happen to like cf can, you replace the door arm rest in cf without replacing the entire door panel
