List: Wing Clear Coat Repair Shops
Man, It cost about 15 bucks to do it yourself. Mine had the normal clear chipping. just wet sand the area, I did the whole carbon fiber part, not the painted side panels. I wet sanded the chipped areas until the chipped parts where removed and the rest of the wing just a bit to let paint adhere. Be careful to go slow and only a much as needed. You don't want to go too deep and ruin the fiber. Then, mask off everything around it, including trunk, bumper, rear window etc. Then use a good quality clear coat in a rattle can. take your time, make a few even coats with no runs. Once dry and cure you can repeat if desired or to remove any runs or orange peel if you got some. took me a few hours going really slow but looks good as new. had a few other EVO owners comment on how nice it looked even compared to one of their professional jobs.
really great people and an even better deal

I didn't take the CF part off, just did it on the car and masked the rest off so you don't get overspray on the rest of the car. I can take pictures now, I might have some of the before pics. I'll post what i have tonight.
