Al,
There was a thread on this one before........I believe they are no longer available new, so you'd need to get them second hand if required.

Don't get them - there're gammy looking yokes - a lot of guys take these off - car looks better without IMO.

any input welcome

IMO they don't suit the car at all and spoil the lines a bit, just my opinion though.

I'm just kidding CJ - You got pipped at the post.

On a related note, when you have removed the dam things how do you get the glue off the car?

I spent ages trying to get it off as well - loads of hot soapy water and a wallpaper removing tool later and it still wasn't perfect - the bodyshop cleaned it up a bit better when I had the FTO in for some bits that needed touching up - I suspect they sanded it and repainted it though - not something I'd like to try myself.

thanks for all the input ,

i was under the impression that they cliped in and came off handy enough, guess i was wrong. ive never actually seen them in the flesh .....as it were.
not up for secondhand ones, wanted them new, am a bit of a perfectionist ,lol.

That suprised me for as far as I know they are held on by clips. I bought the second hand ones just for the clips as the clips fall off if your not careful.
No glue on mine

Yeah - They are held on by clips - but on both my last 2 FTO's they were also glued on. Can't really say if this was done by Mitsubishi or not but it would seem stupid to glue them if clips were all that was needed.

Maybe the glue gives a better fit - If theres anything worse than wind deflectors on a sports car then its wind deflectors that are ill-fitting.
