I would be very interested to hear if you get these. What I have heard is that ONE side is available from the Chrysler dealerships (at a MUCH higher cost than the Mitsu ones were), but ONLY that one side. If you get them, please let us know part numbers...

Those are not the original Mitsu numbers I show, but those numbers ARE available. I have ordered a set also, and we shall see if those are the correct parts

Is there any reason these can't be sand blasted and powder coated? I'd like to try to fix mine up and possibly set up a group buy at Brightside if Mike gives the ok on it. That's what most people do actually. Even heard of guys restoring them (removing rust and all the paint) and repainting it with pastidip. If I wasn't able to find this set, that is exactly what I was going to do. Plasti-Dip..i love that stuff.. http://www.dipyourcar.com/ (not related in any way... just thought it was a cool idea)

Be interested in seeing if these actually fit when you try to bolt them on. Found a thread on tuners about the above part #'s, but also had a reply that they didn't fit. According to his posted pics, they were in fact different (mounting holes & bend/angle). Though the thread was never updated, if he was just sent the wrong part.
I'm sure powder could be done to these, but from the pics I've seen online, I think plastidip would almost look the same as what they do stock.

UPDATE: So I just got back home, and these parts although they look almost identical to the ones we have on our cars, they do not fit. They have the wrong bends as you stated. I have a dremel and was thinking about modifying the part to fit by creating multiple cuts where bending wont work, and see if I can get these to fit that way. If not.. its plasti-dip time.. unless that group-buy actually does happen.

Damn!! I jumped the gun and ordered a set also So I just got back home, and these parts although they look almost identical to the ones we have on our cars, they do not fit.

I'll fix mine up, post pics, and see if people like the results.

If you figure out a way, and it works well, I will bring in more, and you can modify them for me....for a fee, of course....

Yes, there are a LOT of obsolete parts that are in big demand, the drip rails among the biggest..You can ask almost any price you want for them, and someone will want them bad enough to pay it!

Ooooo', that would be GREATLY appreciated.
I wouldn't know what "good" looked like.
Mine look good, but they leak. Sunroof lining is something I need as well, I should take a look or go with you.
Please let me know!
