full cf wing?

Hey guys just cuirous, i know the Evos in japan have the full carbon fiber in the wing. I know we all get it painted here in the US. I heard rumors that under the paint, its full cf, is this true? I think someone here on the boards did it but not sure. Can this be done?

The original 03 EVO's had tht full carbon fiber wing. However, due to the first batch having problems with clear coat, Mitsu went to a different manufacture. Now all the wings have carbon fiber center sections and have plastic end caps that are painted. I know, I used to have a full carbon that was replaced under warrenty with the newer version.

hmm odd isn't it, the end caps were never a problem to begin with.

O..the original design didt have rivets on the inside of the wing? Was it just one solid piece? I have an 03 and I would like to know how to tell if I had CF underneith.
