HKS Gear Knob

JDMing Update:

OEM is always great, but aftermarket is even better, especially when it enhances whats originally a master piece.

The most common brand of car automotive tuning is MOMO. So well known that its not only an aftermarket brand but also a manufacturer of OEM stuff. For instance On the FTO, you will find that those with drivers airbag will have a MOMO manufactured steering wheel ^_^.

As for Gear Knobs, i never liked any of the styles. My FTO came with a momo gear knob which i soon replaced for a JDM HKS red and black Limited Edition Gear Knob bought from www.sumopowers.com

Carbon Fibre Wrap (Di-Noc 3M)

JDMing Update:

My ever first recognition and impression of 3M Carbon Fibre wrap was from a Japanese FTO website, where the person wrapped the bottom lower centre console with it. It looked absolutely stunning and real too. Till recently when 3M wrapping became more common in UK, i decided to give it ago myself.

During my trip to Hong Kong back in April 2011 i went to an automotive styling shop which sold the authentic famous Di-Noc 3M Carbon Fibre. When this was first introduced on the market i didnt get any due to the price. But now a days its reasonably priced and well worth it to give it that carbon look.

Example of Di-Noc 3M used.

My Inspiration

Mitsubishi Ralliart FTO Car Mats

Ralliart FTO Car Mats. Truly goes well together. RED AND BLACK ^_^ Awsome

Originally the car came had Black mats with white trim. Which wasn't very nice as it got dirty easily and very noticeable.


Although there are many car mats available for the FTO especially on ebay for around the price of £24.99 and you can have any colour you want. 


My Ralliart Car Mats, however are impossible to get now. They are ultra rare. A discontinued product by Ralliart. 

Version-R Seats

JDMing Update:

During the riots back in August, i took advantage of all the free flow traffic around london and went to pick up my FTO Version R seats that i have been storing away. I felt it was time to give the interior an upgrade from the leather seats to a more comfortable and snug cloth fabric seat.

FTO DE3A Version R Seats were only available to the GPvR line up in the FTO models.

Body colour: Scotia White. Front seat colour: Blue 
Body colour: Passion Red. Front seat colour: Black 
Body colour: The Pyrenees Black. Front seat colour: Red
