    Hey guys i have a question. I have a guy who is willing to sell me his GTS side sills for a good price. My question is will there be a problem remounting them on my car. I have a person who is going to touch them up and paint them to match my car for free.

    My other question is is it worth it to buy them? Because they are electric blue but i can them painted to match my car like i said i have a person who will do it for free.

    Just trying to get a sense if its worth it or not or should i just buy them new.

    I got mine from extreme dimensions and had no problem mounting them on. Although if you are going to use the existing mounts on the ones you are getting, you may have to use or find another way to mount them.

    Even if they came off another Lancer. Someone told me the screws might be a problem because i might have to drill somewhere else to get them on since they were already used. The new ones from Mitsubishi come with double sideded tape and mounting screws

    I am assuming you have an ES or DE, so there will be no holes in your car. To avoid any headaches, I suggest using new screws or if the ones are still reusable, do that.
