Sorry man. The cars to old. I just had my 03' redone. My buddy sanded it down and sprayed it with some good clear. Not OTC stuff.

i have a 03 and my wing was looking like ****, i got the technical service bulletin number went to mitsu and they took pictures of my car, called me up a week later and said they would replace it for free. This was probable in fall 2007 but i still was also covered under most warranties still. They ended up giving me a flimsy 9 wing but whatever it looks better than my old wing

the 8's entire wing is carbon fiber, and the 9's center section is the only cf part. I have my 8's wing all the way down the the carbon fiber, just gotta clear it.
