Well after I read alittle on how many people are having problems with the clearcoat on their wings I decided to start a poll to help see if this is really I big problem or not. I just got back from my dealership and they said they have never heard of any problem but said that they would replace it. I figured if it is a widespread problem maybe printing these results and bringing them to the dealership might help.

If anyone in the Northwest is looking for a car Appleway Motor group in Spokane has amazing customer service.

 

i dont see a poll to vote. I think some of it has to do with the clearcoat and the other with the carbon fiber itself. I had bird**** on my wing for a week and when i washed my car, i see a grey spot where the bird**** was that wont come off. The other spots look like the carbon fiber is turning grey under the clearcoat, looks like it's cracking. Still waiting for my dealer to call me back if it will get replaced or not.

 

weird, now i see a poll after i post

 

spooky

 

i dont have any problems yet. and plus my car is in the garage 95% of the time

 

13k miles on my 04 and the wing is perfect.

 

My first spot showed up last fall, and two new ones appeared this spring. They were getting larger so I took it in and had it replaced at the same time they replaced my peeling front calipers.

 

no sigh of faded wing yet,hopefully not ever...

 

42k miles on my '03 and a little over two years old. Garaged 50% of the time. No problems with the wing.

Weekly washes and waxed monthly w/Meguier's Gold Class products.

 

none as of yet. (knocks on wood)

 

you're going to jinx everyone with this

 

03 with 25,000 miles. No spots yet, but its in the garage whenever I am home. Maybe thats the key. Although I dont have any caliper paint problems either so maybe I just got lucky.

 

03 with 18k and no problems. Garage kept 90% of the time.

 

No problems but I waxed it from day one with several coats of wax.

 

I believe the issue is related to people not taking care of their evos.... you have a bird dropping and you leave it for a week.. ofcourse its going to etch the paint! bird **** stays on my car no more then overnight, usually stays no more then a few hours. my CF wing usually has minimum one nice coat of wax, usually 2 or 3.
