    I was wondering if anyone ordered the factory Airdam and Side sill extensions for the Lancer? I have the ES trying to spice it up a bit without going crazy.I work for a dealership so i can order them at the cost that my dealership would pay for them not retail.

    How easy or how hard is it to install them?

    Well the side skirts should have snap clips, or screws that hold them on. They should be a real easy swap. The front lips would either have the same, screws to hold them on, or simply double sided sticky tape. That is much the same as Roush or MRT (Mustang Racing Technologies)_ does the Ford Mustang, Focus, and F150.

    The front has bolts that are attached to the front extensions. You will need to drill holes in your bumper like the GTS. There might be marks on the back side of the bumper. If not you can make an easy template.

    I had bought the front pieces and sides.the front,youll have to take off the whole bumper,this is a good time to black out your front,if you do since its already off your car.but BOT,once the bumper is off,there will be little circleovaly spots where youll need to drill through,and they are bolted on.the sides are clipped in and 3m taped.you will have to drill into the side of your car for the plastic clips.youll have these double sided circle pieces of tape that go on the side skirt but you will place the side onto the car to transfer the circle pieces of tape to the car.thats where you will be drilling through your car.when you drill the hole closest up to the front fenders,make sure you drill out the hole a little more side to side.so that the clip will go in all the way(i didnt do it good enough.i can tell its there but noone else can).

    just a little advice,it all come comes with instructions and hardware.

    Thanks guys im thinking even though i dont have a bodykit on it like the GTS installing these will give the ES a nice look.

    I dont have the confidence to do it myself but i will order them and just have a tech at my dealership do it for me that way i wont mess it up.

    I was thinking of the getting those metal side plates for the boor but when i saw them i hated them.
