as some of you may know the carbon fiber are prone to fade/haze when in prolonged sunlight. i have an 03' evo8 that is starting to haze on my vis cfh and stock spoiler. i have other mods to my car as well, do you think they will replace my spoiler under warranty? i have also tried to email vis but have recieved no reply. does anyone have any idea what it would cost to fix (hood). it seems as though sanding it down and re-clear coating it is how it is done. thanks.

My 04's wing is fading hardscore. In a few spots the clear coat is totally gone and the bare carbon fiber is exposed. I just called up the dealership from which I bought the car from and they told me to come in so they can look at it. I didnt even speak with a service manager over the phone but the operator knew about the problem and said they would replace it. She also told me that the wing is on back order.

make sure they dont give you an IX wing, they arnt all carbon

That is the only wing they have to replace them with.

Just do what I am doing and buy lots of 300, 600, 1200, 2000 grit sand paper and sand it off and then take it to a local body shop and have it re-cleared.

While doing that you could always make the wing totally CF, thats what I am doing.

It will take some time, be patient if you decide to sand it yourself.

I could give 2 sh*&s if the wing was fully CF or not I needed it replaced, got it replaced now im happy

For some reason that caught me funny.

well if i had that problem on my VIII i wouldnt trade carbon for plastic.....thats like taking even more money from me than mitsu already does.....

I believe there's a thread out there somewhere about fixing the wing

vis emailed me tonight and this was their response....

if anything it would be uv rays right? once i get it fixed, how do i prevent this from happening again? i hope it isnt expensive to fix the hood.

bump

i am having it wetsanded and re-clearcoated for about 200.00 at a local shop. is there any way to prevent this from happening again?

Short of parking inside, not that I am aware of.

I had an 03 and just traded it in it was parked outside 365/year not one fade mark on it. Wax is your freind.
