Mitsubishi Lancer 2004–2008 Tuning — Page 40

The Mitsubishi Lancer 9 2004–2008 was produced as a sedan and a wagon, and tuning for this model usually comes down to three things: a bit of chrome on the body, a neat spoiler, and proper mats for the cabin and trunk. This page includes accessories selected specifically for the Lancer 9, as well as universal parts that fit by size. Vehicle-specific items have “Mitsubishi Lancer 9 2004-2008” in the name, while universal ones include the word “Universal”.

Sedan or wagon: what to check before ordering

For some products, the body type matters. HIC window deflectors and trunk mats are sold separately for the sedan (SD marking) and the wagon (SW marking) because the bodies are different. If there is no such marking in the product name and you have a wagon, it’s better to confirm compatibility with a manager. One more thing: don’t confuse the Lancer 9 with the next generation — the Mitsubishi Lancer X 2008- has a separate page, and parts are not interchangeable between these bodies even if they look similar.

Lancer 9 exterior tuning

• Chrome trim covers — outer window surrounds, trunk edge trim, mirror and handle covers, chrome frames for side turn-signal repeaters. Most are made of stainless steel or chrome ABS plastic and install with double-sided tape without drilling.
• Door sill plates — several vehicle-specific 4-piece sets: stainless Carmos V1 and V3 and OmsaLine (Italian stainless steel with a more precise fit), plus Flexill made of aluminum and plastic. They differ by brand, pattern, and dimensions — you can see these in the specifications of each set.
• Trunk lid spoiler — fiberglass, designed to be painted to match the body color, mounted with glass adhesive/sealant. Other spoilers in the category are universal.
• Window deflectors HIC — polycarbonate, four deflectors on tape, sold separately for sedan and wagon.
• Roof rack for a smooth roof — the Lancer 9 has no roof rails, so crossbars mount to a smooth roof; before choosing, compare the maximum roof width with the kit specifications.

In the body kit section, front bumper lip add-ons, rear diffusers, and side skirt covers are mostly universal. They don’t match the Lancer 9 bumper shape 1:1, so before ordering, compare the add-on length with the width of your bumper.

Interior: mats and accessories

Floor mats for the Lancer 9 come in three materials:

• EVA — Digital Designs in-house production, a 5-piece cabin set in several colors, plus separate trunk mats for sedan and wagon. The material is stiffer than rubber.
• Rubber and polyurethane — Stingray Premium, Polytep, Carsuit, as well as Stingray 3D made of polyurethane. Softer and more flexible than EVA.
• Textile — Classic, Premium, and Deluxe lines for the cabin, plus textile trunk mats SD and SW.

A common setup is EVA or textile for the cabin and a separate rubber or EVA mat for the trunk. For the dashboard there are dashboard trims by Meric in two versions, and in the interior accessories section you’ll find armrests, gear shift boot covers, organizers, and other small items.

Installation: what to pay attention to

Chrome trim covers, door sill plates, and window deflectors use double-sided tape: wash and degrease the surface and apply in warm conditions, and the adhesive won’t lift. The paintable spoiler should be painted first and then installed with adhesive/sealant — glue or tape is not always included, which is shown in the product package contents. Vehicle-specific fog lights install into the factory mounting points.
