Trunk Mat
Has anyone replaced their trunk mat's? What I mean is the cheap layout Mitsubishi had placed in their cars... I was thinking about changing mine. I was just wondering if anyone had done anything to theirs

Not sure if I understand what you mean by the cheap layout. Are you talking about the particle board covered by a piece of carpet that you see on pretty well every new car these days? You could get a custom carpet piece made at a local upholstery shop up or check out an aftermarket floor matt company to see if they make something. Are you trying to make your trunk living room comfortable or something?

well not more comfortable, just not so cheap... I wouldn't say every new car has it, for a 30k dollar car, I would expect a bit more... The mat in the trunk does like to move around so I was looking at getting some type of cloth on top and rubber on the bottom

My issue is that it should be rubberized and not have that fuzzy sound insulation exposed. You should have seen how much mat lint I had to pull out from the spare tire and tool areas.
The slippery mat and putting cup holders in a 1G car like this seems to be a laugh on the engineering dept's part. I mean Jesus H. Christ...the coffee stains on the console alone...

A possible OEM solution. A Ralliart trunk liner that is probably "nicer" than the stock carpet. I'm not sure if it is actually nicer, but it probably is.

Scroll down a little bit and you'll see it. They make for a trunk with and without the subwoofer.
If you have questions about it, just PM RussellM on here. He's in charge of that website and is one of the best vendors on here

I took the 08 Lancer GTS trunk mat out of my old car before I traded it. It had a subwoofer too and fits well in the EVO X. It is made for the deeper trunk and not the X, but I velcro'd the excess up on the back. It looks like it belongs there, besides covering up the battery and oil access panels. I can''t post pics because I am in Iraq now.

Cut a piece of rug or carpet pad from Home Depot and lay it under the trunk pad. This will help keep it from sliding around.
Otherwise, unless you're keeping people back there, it really doesn't have to be that nice.
