Hey man 3 questions

1. Was it hard to remove the grill? and replacing it with the OEM DE grill? How long it took you?

2. How long it took you to replace your headlight and fog light?

3. How's the headlight and fog light holding up? No problem? Do you know what is the wattage for those lights? Are they running at the recommended wattage?

Took a total of 5minutes to replace the grill.

Took 5 minutes to replace the fog lights (Yes they are still holding up fine, Ive been using them for 2 months and have not had any issues)

And took me about 30mins-1hour to do the complete LED headlight bulbs conversion using the kit I bought.

Thanks for your information.

I just realized that you've Sylvania SilverStar headlights. I thought you replaced that with led headlights as well.

The fog light only took 5 minutes? I thought you've to remove the whole fog light assembly in order to replace it.

that looks so good, i hate the crome on the grill too seems how its like the only crome on the car. So i have a kinda noobish question, are all DE grills color matched to the car? if so how do you think a red grill would look on an electric blue lancer? i have the brake calipers painted red as well. or if not red any other sugestions?

The DE grill is not color matched to our car. It is only available in black color. If you want it to be color matched then you'll need to paint it yourself.

I saw a silver lancer on here that color matched his grille surround to his car. It looked really good.
I don't think a red grille would look good on blue. Might but I doubt it.

all DE grills are a dark grey/matte black color

silverstars are the low beams, DRL/turn Signals and parking lights are LED

fog light assembly is 3 screws and u just take the cover off and then plug in the new bulb, thats 5 mins each side

Car looks great!
so the middle bumper is vinyl right.

Where did you get the vinyl that covered the entire bumper and not just 90% of it. and how does it hold up to weathering and such?
