(Warranty) Difference between Evo VIII and IX CF spoiler
While having my rotor issue investigated at the dealership (technician overtightened lugs, being replaced under warranty), I brought up that the coating on my 2005 MR's spoiler is failing in a few locations. Several spots that just look worn through, despite the rest of the coating looking intact. I mentioned it in passing, and that was that. Didn't expect anything to occur
Today I received a call that they're willing to replace the spoiler under warranty since it's a known issue.
I have the choice of an Evo VIII spoiler, or an Evo IX spoiler. I know the IX has the gurney flap, but if I recall correctly, that's an "option".
My question: Are there any structural or other major physical differences between the Evo VIII and Evo IX carbon fiber spoiler? I'm probably just going to get the VIII one regardless, but I'm curious as to any other changes that were made. Thanks.
