it seems my aero kit didn't come with any mounting hardware...i'm pretty sure it's not just slapped on with 3m tape what hardware am i actually missing here? and where do i get it?

 

I think the only things you are missing are the 4 (2 on each side) self-taping screws for the rear valance add-ons. From what I remember, I think you can re-use the stock stuff, but I could be wrong.

 

From my experience with working at a Honda dealer, we usually used the screws that were already holding the fender liners in place in order to secure the aero kit in place. Along with the 3M tape of course.

I would try that first without removing the backing to the 3M tape and if that doesn't work then contact your local dealer and find out what other screws you could be missing if any.

 

is it the oem aero kit? if so follow his ^ advice.

 

yeah it's the oem kit. i looked and compared the stock and the aero kit last night...it just might fly. guess i'll try over the weekend and find out.

 

if its the whole kit here are the parts it comes with, rear : it has the 3m tape with 4 self taping scerws (2 for each side) , side skirts : use all the screws from the original on the bottom as well as the clips from the back, but has two machiened screws that go on the front i think yhey are m4x6or8, the front: you need the metal bracket which uses existing screws with four machien screws, hope this helps, if you bought your kit new it should have come with everything including an install manual

 

ah, yes. the brackets on the front are what i'm looking for. i knew i was missing something think the mitsu parts section would have them?

 

hm i asked russel at mitsubishiparts and he said the brackets only come with the aero kit and is not sold separately...kinda hard to believe. can someone help me out with this one? i need the front brackets for the oem aero kit. thanks.

 

the reason is because you have a seibon aero kit, they are carbon fiber "copies" of the OEM aero kit thats why russell said it only comes when you buy the OEM kit some fabrication of brackets might be needed in your case.

 

that's beside the point. you'd think if they can sell plastic clips, they'll sell some brackets. so, if someone breaks/loses a bracket, they're screwed? laughable. so to say that's a reason is, really, not a reason at all. but fabrication seems to be the route to go. time to ask my buddy to weld some goodies.

 

Did you contact your dealer? or just Mitsubishi parts people?

 

Because Im a liar.

If you go to the link below you will see the installation pack that comes with the lip kit.

The only thing Mitsubishi has available for the lip besides the full kit is a repair kit for the lower black lip that everyone seems to rip off. All the parts listed in the kit below are to mount the small lip to the main lip.

Service Kit MZ380491EX
Contents:

• 1-Rubber Extension
• 16-Clips
• 14-Large Washers
• 2-Small Washers
• 14-Plates

 

yeah i know about the rubber repair kit, but of course...that's for people who has the kit

not saying i don't trust you, but like i said a few posts back, if you have plastic clips, why not metal brackets?

i'll pay my local dealer (who tried to shaft me on my gsr by the way ) a visit and see what info i can whack out of them. but thanks for the instructions, at least now i have pictures.

 

i am going to put some extra screws on mine when i lower my car.
