Newish RA owner. Upon cleaning it for the first time by hand a week or so ago I noticed one of the sideskirt is loose and it looked like a couple clips/pins were broken. I've tried searching for a part number or how to on removing and replacing these. Anyone have an idea? I don't want it to fall off or get more broken. I believe it's a stock sideskirt. Clips/pins look like little white ball markers for golf if that makes sense.

Thanks


Also can the front grille be removed without removing the bumper? Previous owner painted everything black but the paint is starting to chip and the chrome is showing through. Plus there's two license plate holes on the front I want to fill and paint.

Thanks again

Those holes if they are in the crnter are through the bumper...its easiest to pull the bumper to remove the grill...coming from a guy thats done it...its probably faster once you take your bumper off more than once or twice as well.

 

Is there a detailed how to of removing the bumper? Something easy to do with one person without a lift? I'm just worried about getting it realigned or breaking a clip.

 

Its easy, no luft needed, google lancer or evo bumper removal theres tons of how tos

 

I plugged the holes with black plastic 'buttons' (form the "Help[tm]" section of the autozone.


Yes, remove the bumper to remove the chrome ring.


The side skirts have a white plastic 'bracket' and two(?) Phillips screws in the wheel well. They come off easy - and you can see what needs replacing.

 

^ This, I've broken a few myself or lost them, but just go to autozone or any auto parts shop and they will have those type of clips.
I believe there's a how-to guide on removing the bumper on this forum, if not google it or youtube it...
