Can anyone please tell me and show me the difference between the X with and without the Aero? Google isn't helping me much and I can't be caught online at work. But, I'm going to dealer after work and I don't want to be caught off guard.


Thank for your time,
Manny

The tint is great but the windows fit so tight that it is getting the shit scrached out of it. So if you tint your EVO the tint will get scrached.

The Aero kit is a must.....

A $2000 must? I think not.

i know Mercedes have a liner which needs to be taken out or adjust so the tint doesnt scratch wonder if the X is the same

liner? why would they have that? tint is so thin is shouldn't get scratched, but you have the car so you would know. how bizarre. Is the scratching real bad?

well in the Benz its not bad you barley get scracthes as long as you keep the dust out but according to EVOXCO it seems like its bad

Just as a heads up, if you are going to tint the Evo/Lancer the tint installer must be notified that a moleskin piece must be attached to the inner door panel where the glass meets the gasket. The gasket that Mitsubishi uses is extremely hard and will scratch tint unless the moleskin is used.

Really, this is interesting. Thanks for sharing! This is actually pretty important, we should move this to someplace more noticeable since tinting is a very common thing to do.

Every window tint installer should know what I mean when I say "Get molskin" right?

This has been in use with us regular 08 lancer for a long time.. and although the moleskin helps alot, if its not cleaned and you dont give it TLC it will start scratching again...

Welcome to the forums


Thanks, homie. This forum seems much more helpful and friendlier than evolutionm forums. Mostly annoying brats over there hating on the X and flaming anyone who likes it.

:wtfsign: It's a little slower but, it feels better in every other way. I'de take that over the 0.03 seconds it lags.:amen:

Nice find, ektor!

This looks like the best solution to me:

sorry to hear this problem. In another car of mine it has the same situation. What I did was just trim the factory scrapper that butts up to the window and left it as that. There is a very small gap and I mean VERY SMALL gap but my tinit looks awesome for the past 2 years.
If I were to tint the 08 I would do the same.

ok. u know the plastic scrapper that laid up against ur windows b4 u had them tinted? Then they removed it and put the moleskin inplace of it. Well just remove the scrapper and ur done. I ur case just remove the mole skin.

It may bother some people but if ur way to busy with life and just dont have the time to keep up on the maintance of keeping the moleskin dirt free then its the easy solution. Small lil gap but really, its no biggie.

Just an idea.
