Those clips are not gonna be cheap at the dealer. and for the future the clips are real easy to take off, u pop the center and then they fall out on there own.but why would anybody think the spoiler bolts on so far away from the edge, its clear in any picture that it sits right on the edges. Personaly i feel you are making a mess of this project and will end up having to get your trunk repainted or have a crooked spoiler. I respect you want to do it on your own, but if ur using Brute Force on anything relating to these lancers you are doing it wrong.
ITS HORRIBLE GUYS I MESSED IT ALL UP I took a two inch drill bit, got frustrated, and kapowed a nasty hole in my trunk, cracking the paint, spiderweb cracks everywhere, ITS AWFUL. Just kidding, it went great. I'll have pictures up in a bit. Couldn't have done it with out your guy's help.
Congrats, your ES has just been upgraded to an ES Sport Minus the fog lights, front air dams, side skirt, and sport mode. But none of that's important
