Who in the northeast has had their VIII wing sanded and re-cleared, where did you get it done and how much did it cost? I saw Ultimate Collision Center can do this, but they are a bit of a drive at a couple of hours from Hartford, CT.

Local Mitsu dealership would not touch it. It's really not that bad off.

Also, I have seen the DIY instructions, but would prefer to get this done professionally.

 

I did it myself. I prob spent less than $10 for everything. Clear coat and sand paper. Its easy to do

 

DIY = save moneyyy

 

i'd also like to know.. maybe somewhere to NJ?

 

Thanks for the input / advice.

But, having just fixed the stuck heater knob and sunroof motor on my ‘03, I can say I am more of a mechanical guy. I’ve done some minor Bondo work over the years and was never really happy about the way it turned out. For the $150 or so I think this is going to cost to bring the wing back, it’s (I still think) worth it to me to make sure it gets done right.

 

ur not close enough to me but i work at a dealer on the mass/nh boarder. i brought my wing in this week and had my buddy over at the body shop sand and clear mine. clearing was done in the booth. 2 coats. came out great.

 

^ Keene or Nashua?

 

nashua

 

any local body-shop should be able to hook u up. just take it off and bring it in, say u need just the top wetsanded then re-cleared with 2 coats

 

atx motorsports in bergenfield nj does great body and performance work

 

evan311, how much they charge u?

 

hes had a 9 sec car built there, i doubt he has had the need to have a factory wing cleared. just give atx a call. i have never heard anything negative about them. im sure u will be satisfied.

 

I actually got my 2005 EVO8's wing warrantied. I guess it's a good thing being a salesman and all the techs loving the **** out of you. w00t!

But, I've seen it done DIY style and come out pretty close to perfect if the time is taken.

 

I hand mine done at My Way Auto Body in stamford - did a great job it cost 150 and the turn around time was like 2-3 days

 

They're not too far. I'll check them out. Thanks.
