New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[stubby]

*XTO, j*sto and stubby, any comments on this setup?

i like the shoes very much. bagay ba yan sa cool silver body?

hi sir! these look like 20s. someone posted that if you want chrome, go 22s so it wont look small or "bitin"....and that the racer types like volk's te37 or lenso's rt7 are the ones that look good at size 20. i completely agree.

im not a fan of the door cladding. i like that part of the monty as it is. to me, the orig front and rear fender claddings are enough to give that masculine look...much like the bulky fenders do to the subaru wrx sti 4 door sedan. adding those door claddings makes the monty look fat and stout...like a guy with love handles...like me...bwahahahaha

im not a fan of the rear bumper side extenders (i dont know if thats how its called) and i prefer the simple thai spoiler. but i like ntyce's front chin design much more than this one!

sir these are my personal preferences and im just stating so as a response to your post. just wanna help out. its still up to you however you want to jazz up your ride.

the spoiler, tailgate garnish and rear bottom cladding adds gusto to the monty's machismo IMO! it adds more body to the rear of this soon-to-be suv of the year haha! booootylicious!

* j*sto and xto, congrats on your upgrades! very nice!

* j*sto, ever thought of not painting the rear bottom cladding to match the unpainted rear bumper?

hi stubby...rear upgrades not yet done...still being painted and 'hoping it would turn just like what i thought.

thanks for the recommendation but i thought, if i do that, useless garnish since the look is exactly what our MS rear already has (just with minor bloated and more muscle look with a garnish). i actually like more what xto and toronegro did with their rears, though i honestly don't like to bring in the whole unit at the paint shop (OT but paint dust will stick to the whole unit; unless i have the time to personally supervise the painting, have the unit covered while painting, etc).

xto...nice rear new look there! by the way, check your spoiler. I got mine from goldrich as well but i was the unlucky one who got not so good quality. my spoiler paint has some defects and while we had a week-long rain last week, chicken-fox like air bubbles came out. when i sent it back to goldrich, they were very kind to replace my spoiler outright. 'hopefully, this time, good quality na! 'just watch out or observe yours.

mga monty owners,

i have bad experience dealing with sales agents. ang hirap kausap. i felt parang nangho-holdup taking advantage of those who are desperate to have a montero!

Been waiting for a 2x4 unit for sometime now and every day seemed a month! my other option is to go for the 4x4 SE! kahit beyond my expected budget. (i'll use sana the price difference for mods and upgrades).

Anyways, I know this has been asked before but i'm too lazy to back read with my very intermittent dsl connection. Is there a big difference in fuel consumption between the 2.5 and 3.2 engines? this will be my everyday car, city driving.

What's your FC for your montys? Once I get convinced, it's a Silver SE for me this week.

TIA

I having SE, 9 months old, the city about 7to 8 Km/L, mix city around 9 to 10 Km/L.....
That some other factor affect the FC like driving habit, tire pressure and weight of your car.....

Hope it can help you....

gud am po, pano po procedure sa insurance pag nanakawan po ng side mirror? i saw my monty kc la na side mirror just this morning.

I sorry to hear that, my Pajero side mirror lost 2 or 3 times before....

You can buy the side mirror protector at Banawe street, it cost 800 Peso with installation, it made by cast iron, the only problem was, after install the mirror view became less...smaller......

nice. by the way, toronegro's rear has no cladding. that portion of the bumper is just painted silver to match the front. post pics ok!
