CF wings

I was told by the guys at HB Mitsu 8&9 wings are way back ordered + + and if you ordered 8 or 9 months ago, the automated list took you off the waiting list. I guess the tennis racquet? racket? manufaturer who did the carbon fiber never dealt with the weatherability issues a car goes through,... so. I guess the few wings that have been replaced or repaired by dealerships are still failing after a few months as the newer clear coat fromulas are still not up to par. Hopefullyyours will last. Mine remans scabbed.

The new wing I received was the all carbon fiber wing that the Evo8 came with. I hope this one will last. It's weird,some owners have never had problems with their wings and a handful,like myself have had chipping and peeling.My car is a daily driver and is outside in the hot Florida sunshine.I will try the Meguiars NX wax for te spoiler and see if that helps.I think that was the wax I was told about.

I will actually be dealing with this issue and the oh so common Brembo issue we all get to deal with next week. So needless to say, I will be breaking out the digi this weekend to start my headache, I mean warranty claim Monday. This should be fun. I'll keep you guys posted on my battle, I mean progress...lol

I've never had an issue. It's not garage kept. Always kept Zaino on it though.
