Ahhh!!!! Don't use paper towel...:-( Fibres in it scratch the clearcoat/paint and leaves swirlies!!! I keep a spray bottle of Z7/water for really quick spray on and wipe off tasks. Always use something to "float" the dirt/scuffs instead of just wiping it when its dry!

I do a lot of detailed waxing on the car would that have anything to do with the thinning of the paint?

That's not a bad idea. Been meaning to get the whole kit. Anybody knows if it's a replacement or goes over the OEm?

That's what i said, the stock evo doesn't have any lip like that, it is very small. Even on your avatar it looks like you have at the minimum the side skirts. Can't tell the front lip cause of the darkness and resolution.


Hey OP if you can take a picture of the rear tire area so it shows the rear quater panel bottom and the rear door bottom like half of it.

Do the aero kits come from the factory or are they dealer installed?

That's what I asked then someone jumped on me. I'm 98% positive it looks like the original poster has the aero kit cuz that's a lot of flare.
