    Hey guys, I'm mostly a lurker, not much of a poster.

    So, I have an 08 lancer es and i wanna make it look sportier. What I'm thinking is getting the gts side sills/skirts, the front extensions, and the spoiler. But I'm kinda worried about the installation process. I have no experience whatsoever with car customization. Well actually I just got the ralliart tails and that was an easy enough install thanks to a "How to" i found around here. I wanna know, is it an easy install that anyone could do? If so, could you explain how it's done? Or should i just go to some shop and have them do it. What I'm concerned about is if I'd have to drill holes. I know my dad has a drill in the garage but I've never touched it in my life. The last thing i want is to mess up and have a car riddled with holes :? Oh, and if it matters im getting the parts from mitsubishiparts.net, they seem to have fair prices.

    Any help appreciated

    ok well i personally feel for pain, i instaled the spoiler myself and for the front add ons and side skirt with the help of my friend jake, looks great it looks scary when you see the instructions but the front skirts, all the markings are on the back of the bumper the side skirts are a little harder but nothing to hard

    i just got my extensions from xfactor, an they came with instructions. if you need them i can send them to you over PM. or if anything, if you know someone at a shop, take it there an see if they can install them for you for cheap, thats what im doing! haha

    hmmm...most likely x-factor...though i'm not sure if they're located in the US...if they arent im hoping the shipping charge wont be ridiculously high, and if they are high, i might just go with mitsubishiparts.net. But it'll be awhile before i actually make this decision as money doesnt come easy for this poor college boy :p Hopefully within the year though; i'll keep updated 8)
