i'm sure the dealer could order them for you.

they have a huge book of part codes for all the cars they sell, just spend a minute at the service desk with clerk looking through, i am sure they will be happy to help.

you might even be able to find it color keyed?

i did that when i was thinking of replacing the piece in the dashboard that holds the vents and the clock on my viii with the faux carbon fiber one from the ix. i didn't know the part number or anything, but i just described it to him and we leafed through the book till we found it.

it cost upwards of 300 bucks, so i didn't get it, but the moral of the story is that i found it.

It's only available through dealer, it comes prepainted. Give them your VIN or color scheme and they're cheap. Otherwise have a body guy blend it in, but that will cost you more.

Bump for someone who knows the part# for this part , dealers here in Houston are no help at all :/

Its not that serious guys. Walk into a mitsu dealer with the color type. Even if they have no clue they will show you the diagram (Thats what the parts monkey did with me),.
