Anyone know how to fix this?
I guess the dealer needs to take pics of these issues to see if Mitsu will cover it, problem is I never have time during the weekdays because of work and that's the only time they can. Tired of rolling around looking all sloppy like this, so thinking about taking things into my own hands.
Problem 1 - This black liner crap is sticking out towards the front driver's side of Aero Kit side skirt.
Problem 2 - This part isn't really lining up too well and sticking out a little on the back of the passenger's side Aero side skirt.
3) Last but definitely not least... this ****... anyone have a temporary fix for this? Double sided tape didn't work.
I love my car but seriously wtf, this is unacceptable.
Anyway, any help at all would help. Step by step instructions especially.

That rubber is damn annoying, I glued it twice. Or you can doctor it back with the kit they sell to repair them, there's a thread here, just search it.
Otherwise if you ever take off your bumper, you can fix it with all kinds of stuff more easy
Otherwise, some people taken em off... I prefer to keep it on to appear more clean. In the end, a new lip got rid of that damn thing

About the sideskirt there's an official TSB: I have it on pc at home, this evening I'll post you. In any case, dealers should know the official procedure to fix the problem.
About the rubber below the front bumper, the stock "anchors" to fix it are too little in comparison to the holes in the bumper: if you touch the anchor it is a little loose in the hole, in fact you lost some of them (mee too). Then, the glue is not so strong.
I had to glue it again on all the left side (it was pratically like yours); then I also replaced the anchors with bigger ones I had at home. Now the fixing is stronger, but in any case the first time I will touch the ground I think it will break again...

TSB won't fix the areo package completely, you'll need them to apply double sided TSB adhesive to the clip and use a jb wield or other permeant solution to solve the issues. Trust me, they just fixed my kit after a year of harking over it! Not to mention 5 rocker moldings later!!!

In any case, this is the TSB:

I hope it can help you, but for sure the best thing to do is bring the car to the dealer and pretend that those problems are completely fixed!
Bye

I have the same color and my rubber lip came off awhile back....split where the holes were so I just threw it away. I don't have anything on the front right now but all the double sided tape can be slighty seen if you are looking at that partiular area. I'm going to put my car on a lift and get that crap off and clean it up when I get the chance.
