brembo clear coat and wing clearcoat
I had my calipers replaced about 4 months ago because the clear coat was peeling. I went to two dealerships and ended up calling Mitsu Corp and complaining. Eventually they were replaced under a "one time deal". Also, just last week I had my wing replaced becaues the carbon fiber was hazing over and chipping so they warrantied that also under a "one time deal". I presented them a TSB number for that though. Just keep fighting and hopefully you get the results you want.

I have an '03 and my wing is getting those dull spots on it as well. I noticed it about a month ago, but it was small and I thought I would just get it looked at when I got my next oil change. Well it just keeps getting worse(started out about 2" long and now is about 12" long. I am taking it to dealership tomorrow morning so we'll see what they say.
I went to the dealer to day about my wing. It just so happened that there where 2 Reps there today...... so the service manager and the 2 reps looked at my wing. They took some pics and said they will call me when my new wing comes in...... i asked the reps about the brakes (mine are fine) and they said they are not going to cover them. I asked why and their responce was the brakes aren't part of the paint warrenty they're part if the suspension warrenty.......OK..... i said looks like there is paint on them to me..... his responce was the clear coat comes off because off the heat and small chips in the clear coat...... i said sounds like a manufacturing problem and he agreed with me and said Brembo has not done anything.......... so there you go!!!! thats the info i got today

That is exactly what mine did.
They take the wing and are supposed to send it back to mitsu.
I've also had all 4 calipers replaced along with the rear spoiler. I didn't have much trouble with my dealer or mitsu rep.

It seems like getting the calipers replaced really depends on the dealership. It should be a universal thing, if one dealership does it, Mitsu should have all of them doing it. Luckily for me, I have afew dealers near me that I'm going to take the car to and hope one of them will do the calipers. Makes me angry just looking at it everyday, especially when the car is clean
