does anyone know where to get 3m bra cut outs locally? I want one for my whole front bumper (DIY). I found a great site but they dont answer emails or phone calls so Im gonna hold off ordering online.

 

try 'the detailing shop' in newmarket

www.detailingshop.ca/

 

Are those 3m weather tech floor mats worth getting? They look pretty good because they mold to the front and rear floor wells but from what Ive seen they seem a little expensive....

 

Very smart.

 

My setup, stock wheels, Michelin PA3 tires.

 

Ya where do you get those floor mats?

 

2010 Lancer Sportback GTS

My setup for the snow. Didn't see any sportback setups so I may be the first one!

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R 225/45R18 XL
Power Slot Rotors
Hawk HPS Brake pads Front
Satisfied GS6 Brake Pads Rear
18" GSR light alloy wheels (TPMS installed, no annoying ding)

and a bunch of mitsubishi accessories
RRM timing control box, RRM Lightweight pulley, K&N drop in filter,Sprintbooster, HID 6000k Low Beam, HID 6000k Fog light, HID 6000K High Beam, White LED interior lights

 

^doesn't make sense to go with the wider tire for winter. I guess meh 225 vs 215 not a big difference. Hopefully it was the cheaper route!

 

It makes sense because the options for winters tires in that Specific size are hard to come by. I think tirerack might list 2, maybe 3 for 215 size.

There are probably 10 options if you search between 225 45 18 and 225 40 18

 

Nokian didn't have 215 size. I can live with more contact on the floor. I actually went with the most recommended snow tires I could find at friend from kal tire(at great price $220 a tire installed) onto the GSR 18" lightweight wheels ($105 a rim). Also had them install the TPMS sensor from the stock rims and dunlops switched to the new rims free of charge. The nokians are awesome tires and highly recommended compared to other stuff out there. The price though may sway a lot of people away from them though.

 

A week came and went... where are the pics of your car in winter mode? lol

 

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?

You buy a car with one of the most advanced AWD systems in the world... and then you store it for winter??? When we got snow last week... I could so easily put the power down to the ground because of AWD. If there's a car to be in during the winter... the EVO is it!

 

I think 3M Trimline in Mississauga is the main place for this stuff. But they can be really busy at times. I have a number for a guy who does clearbra installations for dealerships if you want it.

 

The WeatherTech floor liners are really expensive... but they fit the car better than any other mat. I say just suck up the cost and buy them.... that's what I did.

 

You get those floor mats here. http://www.weathertech.ca/

I think they ship outta Hamilton... and shipping is free and fast.
