2009 Lancer GTS in great need of help

Hey all,

I'm very new at this and am in need in quite some help. My wicked white lancer needs quite a few parts for it but couldn't post in the market. It was involved in an accident and needs more front end parts.

If anyone has or know of any performance upgrades at a cheap price, please let me know. I've already done some research myself on this site and many others. So far this site is becoming more and more helpful to. The parts I need, or can be upgraded are as follows:
  1. Intake Air duct and filter. (Missing) (Looked into Injen RRM and CAI. Which one should I go with? I'm looking for more hp)
  2. Front bottom and top grilles. (Broken)
  3. Headlights. (Broken)
  4. Radiator Fan Shroud. (Broken) (I've seen that the assembly is sold by parts)
  5. Front Lower Bumper Reinforcement. (Broken)
  6. Front Bumper Absorber. (Broken)
  7. Driver's side Knee and Wheel Air Bag. (Deployed)
  8. Driver's side front mud flap. (Missing)

Thanks so much in advance and look forward to all of the help offered.

I would really like to do that, but I can't go that route. Any help? I've tried ebay and other searches as well.

The airbags are going to be a hardest since its the most pricey. Your best bet is either junkyards, and many Lancer forums, like all of them since people are contently changing their cars or parting them out.

If anything, just go aftermarket, instead of OEM but, of course, that is also pricey.

Dont even look for a cheap price, just pay whatever and learn from whatever mistake you had.

Very true. I was checking out the market for parts people post, but by the time I inquire about their stock part, they either threw it away or sold it already. It's all right though. It's actually coming along.

Update on parts I got already:

Driver's side air bag (wheel)
bumper reinforcement and absorber
mud flap

Thanks everyone that is helping with this so far

It's taking a little of that as well. This is a great vehicle, so I'm willing to learn as I go with this process. So instead of the air intake duct and box, I'm possibly going to be purchasing the Injen SRI for my 2.4l GTS. Been doing a bit of reading about it, and it's sounding well worth getting. Thanks a lot

Thanks for all of the help so far guys. So far the bumper reinforcement, absorber, radiator fan shroud, and driver's splash guard are taken care of. Just the rest to deal with. Can anyone help with the grilles and headlights? I'll take tips on the air intake also. Thanks a lot!

Head lights are in. Getting closer and closer to modding it :-)
