the point of this thread was not to see where u can get door sills, but have one of our own members create something very unique thats not for sale out there.  Besides, if he charges only for materials and shipping, it will be well under $100 ( i hope.. cuz i want them lol).

Thanx Simmo, I will start looking into the door sills this weekend for some ideas and prices. Today I have a guy at the local dealership that is going to let me do some measurments for the shift plate.

This may be a weak idea, but when I saw the pic of this at the dealership, I wanted one.
But they are only available with EVO on them. I thought it would be cool if it said something like........

'GTS' on it. ;)

That's not a bad idea though. I was just thinking about the handbrake and how it's all plastic and maybe a chrome-ish feel and look would feel and look nice. :grin:

I was looking for things to pcoat on the car and came up with the idea of making interior door handles, relatively cheap to make and design. Then can customize your door handles to whatever color.

not at the top of my list... but just an idea that cooked up

Ok, I have another idea... but want some opinions... I was thinking of making performance dimpled and sloted rotors. I looked into it and I dont see why I cant go and purchase some premium rotors and than modify them for a cheeper cost. What do you think.... would anyone trust them... thats a pretty important part of your car to be messing with...

You could do that, but considering how the metal needs to be near flawless, for example no internal fractures, treated for strength and such, I'm not too sure about this... Unless you got the tools :grin: . I would like to have drilled/slotted brake rotors cause they stop better and aesthetically looks nice with the car's natural racer looks.

You could probably get some disc rotors and use the CNC machine to make slots and drill a few holes. If you do that then make sure the slot's ends don't look like this ")" and stopping there all of a sudden. Try to make it like ">" and gradually elevate it the farther out it goes to the brake's surface so the brake dust can go somewhere. I'm pretty sure the holes are smoothed out to prevent them from having the same effect as the slot on a brake does. Holes are mainly there to provide more ventilation for the brake.

:grin:

By the way, the Front Brakes for the DS and ES are the same 10.9/276 but the GTS is 11.6/294. The rear for DS 8.0/203 (But is a drum... so says the NA Mitsubishi Site), ES 10.3/262, and GTS 11.9/302

Well, there hasnt been too much progress on some of the parts for a little bit now... LIFE got in the way. My wife and I had our first child last month and I've been busy on the home front... but....

The door sills look good, I have two different things that I am working on right now and try out a couple different mounting systems for them, when I KNOW that they are done and good to go I will submit another post with pics and see what everyone thinks.

The shift plate failed.... I got the plate disgned and milled out and it works through all the gears... but there is no where inside the center consol to mount it without putting some ugly screws/bolts to hold it in and be stable.

I do have right now on my car a custom wire cover I milled out of alluminum and had a bad*** design put into it... I am going to post pics but I am currently trying to paint the valve cover and other engine parts to make it a package deal.

And I am sorry Mitsu_Fizzle... i havent started on anything on the brake handle.

Updates will come...
