Yes, you'll have to get it reprogrammed. My neighbor, at the time, said any shop should be able to do it. Its just they don't like to.

Reprogrammed. Just get the actual mileage of the lancer on the cluster?
Did you took it to a shop?

The cluster does not discriminate against any es/ls/oz or ra. Doesn't matter at all.

its actually harder to do then u think not just any shop will do it. not even will help you. you usually gotta send it away to a specialist and its pricey.

I have no idea. He said it could be done with his device, but then again, he usually works on GM and Fords. Maybe that have that easier.

Thanks. It was super easy, at least to me. I've installed a few over the years. Its just alot of greasyness and getting all the clips just right.

I have added a poll to my thread about what style hood. Here are the links to the styles I am looking into. If anyone has any experience with them, drop a line. I am most interested in either one and knowing about the removable panels.


Everyone, please vote!!!

and i'm jealous of the sunroof. i have an oz just like yours but no sunroof, i might have to try and score one. i thought about getting a short shifter but looked at all that i would have to take off and thought better of it, it seemed pretty involved just to changed the shifter, but i still might do it

Shifter was easy, I just went with a cheap one. As for the sunroof. I highly recommend against getting one. If it didn't come stock, putting one on after is only going to cause problems. It will probably leak.

Don't forget to vote in the poll!!!
