I don't know what's happening in the US with the Mitsu dealers, but there's really something weird going on. Most of the parts that aren't available anymore according to the posts on this forum, ARE available over here. There was a post ones on this forum that JDM bumpers weren't available anymore; but i can order them NEW/OEM from Mitsubishi....
And if they are making things difficult over here; i order directly from Mitsubishi Japan. Never had any problems with stuff i wanted; only thing is that i've got to get the right partnumber to order it.
