Do you open and close the trunk by the wing? Not saying you did, but I see tons of peple with different tyupes of cars doing that. Not a good thing.

 

Insurance rates go up when you make claims. Not worth it on a wing you can probably get for $200 on the forums.

 

Is there some kind of aftermarket Gurney flap on the back of the wing? Perhaps that warped in the sun or the cold and broke it.

 

I have seen this happen many times and it is caused by the extra down force created by that little strip at the trailing edge of the spoiler when driving at top speeds!!!!!!
Replace the spoiler and do not re-install the "airfoil strip". Should be ok after that.

 

I think your car just got hated on. F-ing haters!!!

 

No doubt. I didn't realize a new wing could be had for so cheap.

 

AMS has had that wing fold in half on some runs withut snapping lol but texas sun is harsh and idk if that can have an affect

 

i drive my car on highway all the time and it has the exact wing with the flap, never had a problem, go between 70 to 100 miles in certain parts and nothing broke, someone wat hatin on u

 

Ok here is the deal. I was running a little fast. Faster than normal. Also had a good head wind. I will say it was not hit or broken before the run. I keep pretty good taps on my cars. At least someone has verified that it has happened before. Thanks guys.

 

a little is an understatement

 

ive gone 160 in my car and this doesnt happen.. so someone dicked you over and put alot of weight on that for sure.. made a small hairline crack probably not visible,, then snap like it did.. good luck with warranty i dont know if they will honor that..

 

It was deffinately the wind and downforce. Some of you guys might find it hard to believe but its happened to people I know. This also only happens to people with evo 9 wings since they are not solid like the evo 8's wind. The wing on the evo 9's are hollow. Don't believe me? Go squeeze your wing then squeeze a evo 8 wing. My buddy was going 160-165 on a windy night then BOOM the wing broke in half and dented the trunk JUST like yours. It CAN happen and this is not the first to happen to an evo 9 owner.

 

^Even still, GL with the warranty. The dealer will likely say "The only instance this happens is from EXCESSIVE downforce, the kind seen over 120 mph, or abuse. We wont warranty your car because you decided to drive 150 mph, get out of our dealership you bum"

Did your friend that had that happen to him have it fixed under warranty?

 

+1 Rocks?

 

maybe a bird hit it?
