I have a IX.. If you think it'd help you, i can snap a few pics of the same area to illustrate the differences/design changes.

Sometimes you have to really explain it to death for warranty and recall stuff (was a 3000GT VR-4 owner before the Evo).

My 9 had 11K on it when I bought it, and there is rust on the inside of the trunk sill where the rubber footing is (both sides).

I called the dealership and complained and made sure it was covered under warrenty (10yr/100k corrosion ???), they said they would service the corrosion.

I will be taking it in very soon...

Thats the problem with mine as well... I've never tried to do anything about it though. I just figured they would give me some lame *** excuse why they won't do anything about it. You guys should take pics at the open house, you'll have access to a lot of cars that day.

how about the clearcoat coming off? I have a very small spot that is odd colored, just wondering what others have done or how mitsu has gotten out of it (not to take this off topic, but some may have CC issues in addition to rust with that huge wing!)
