Question on OEM aero kit

Hi Evo community,

I just purchased a 2014 gsr in wicked white which came with the factory aero kit.
I'm having some problems with the side skirts popping out with the lightest touch, does anyone know what these are held on by and if i can just buy the replacement clips or brackets? And is this something I could install on my own?
also the front lip, the aero kit has a black rubber piece on the bottom which has ripped and is dangling off from scrapping against the curb, is there a way I can just buy this rubber peice along with the clips and brackets to attach it?

Many thanks guys!

I am assuming this is still under full factory warranty. Take the car to Mitsu and have them fix the retaining clips.

That, or a little searching will unveil the whole breakdown of the factory side skirts, along with the clip part numbers you'd want to order

As far as the black lower lip (extension)... I don't remember the exact price but it's somewhere around $300-200 area. Not worth it IMO.

I've actually got a brand new rubber lip, all of the square metal 'washers', and a few plastic clips just sitting around. I guess I'll post something up on the 'For Sale' section.


FYI - it's called a "refresh kit" and costs about $160 from the factory. I had an accident back in February, and the body shop had a time trying to find this part, because the dealership didn't even admit the Aero kit existed. *facepalm*

I asked over a year ago. Maybe two. I remember thinking, no way it's over $200. Well it was (at the time). Not surprised they lowered the price. If the above price is right and it's going for $160ish now. Originally it was only available as part of the aero lip. They said a good amount of people have damaged them, so mitsu decided to offer it separately.
