Looks awesome

 

wait im kind of confused. the cf is under the paint???

 

yes the CF is under the paint. Why did they do it? the thinking of mitsubishi is all messed up this is why they are going under.

WTF, looks great. I'll pay u to do my wing.

 

Looks amazing, i think i might have to do that to the evo

 

Just finished this project myself. Easily the 20+ hours of work vtluu described, but well worth it. I also had a shop reclear the whole wing, so that saved some time.

 

I'm getting a free wing from my dealer so I'll see how it looks without paint which I was told is how it is coming. Then decide if they should paint it. Thanks for the pics.

 

I was told the 05 and up is not carbon fiber underneath. My 03 wing was replaced byt Mitsu and no longer seems as solid so it seemed to be true. I would like to do this but dont want to strip the paint to find plastic underneath.

 

There is cf on the 05's. I can see it on the paint a few weeks ago when the sunlight was hitting it directly and i buffed the car. Not sure abotu the IX's thou

 

Looks Great!!!

 

All evo 8 are completely carbon fiber. The IX on the other hand aren't so if you have a IX don't try this. The only CF part on the IX wing is the bar accross.

 

Looks good, A nice project for the summer.

 

I also have attempted this project. It does look great and it is fairly easy. Something that makes it easier, is to take the whole wing apart. Took me half the time. I just happend to have the wing in the garage and some how by shutting the garage door it fell over and ooops...it looked like the side piece had popped loose at the top. So I figured, I would just have to re-adhere it back on no biggy. As I sat there and sanded, getting pissed trying to get into the corners and cracks I thought. This would be so much damn easier if it all came apart. Remember what the originator said that it was rivited together, I decided to check it out since it was loose. Low and behold upon further inspection, the wing is velcro at the top. If you sit there and pull on it, it will unvelcro and pop loose. So I continued to pull and look and there are 4 rivets on the very bottom of your wing that hold it on at the bottom. Refer to the pics provided to this thread and you will see. Very carefully I rocked it back and forth until it just came off all together. Upon this happening, sanding took no more than an hour on both sides. I recleared the wing and back on in a couple days, I had to wait for the ****ty weather to break. So the three rivets on the inside of the wing do not!!! fasten to the side pieces. The side pieces slide over the sides of the wing. The 3 rivets on the inside of the wing actually hold onto another piece of CF that the side pieces of the wing slides over. Then the sides velcro onto that. I just re-appoxied where the rives are at the base of the wing, if you flip it over and look at the bottom pieces that attatch to your trunk you will see the 4 rivets. I dont have a digi cam or i could show you guys but it made life sooo much easier. I cant believe they used velcro!
