I'm sure Mitsu won't replace my peeling wing with 45k on the odometer,so does anyone know of a local DFW refinisher? I do not want to attempt this myself.

 

next month I'm actually learning how to clearcoat and paint cars and I will be specializing in carbon fiber clearcoating and such.

 

check with the dealer first. Daytona FL mitsu replaced mine for free, when my wing looked like this with 59k on the odo:

 

i'm pretty sure they will replace your wing they wont if your over 60k

 

lies. A.depends on the dealer B.if they do they if its an VIII wing ..its getting replaced by evo 9 wing (no carbon outsides) C. it could take moths for the claim to go thru D.pics are u sually taken then submitted with the claim....just what ive seen from customers that come in for the same complaint....then again u might get lucky

 

it doesn't hurt to try and if they don;t want to replace it u can always start complaining that u are still under warranty and threaten to sue, that usually does the trick.

 

DirtyBrembos doesn't know what he's talking about. I just passed over 36k on my car a couple months ago. Took it into the dealer with 20 miles left on the 36k, and they replaced my wing, and Brembos which had just started peeling.

Service person made a point of asking me if the in-sides of my wing with body color or carbon-fiber.

Take it to Don in Irving, and see if they'll take care of you.

 

Actually he does, Seeing as he does work at a mitsubishi dealer.

 

I hope your right about this because my wing is looking a little faded in certain areas a long with my brembos.

 

Brembo cleanliness tends to be related to the frequency of cleaning. Brake dust will destroy that **** with a quickness if not washed regularly. That's a hard claim to make and prove, that one would certainly be dealer discretion it seems like.

 

^in addition to that, the brake fluid if even a drop is spilled on it without being cleaned off, it will completely dissolve the clear on the brakes as well. i've see it happen over night with a set i was gonna get powdercoated. i had the clam sitting on the ground in a puddle of brake fluid after pulling the pistons out. next day picked the clam up and all the clearcoat came off in that spot.

 

Take it to Don Herring in Irving, they will replace it with either an 8 or 9, your choice. I had mine replaced after 60k. The one thing that dirtybrembos was correct on is that it takes a LONG time, but it is not because they are trying to get the warranty covered, it is because they have to manufacture the wing and ship it here from overseas... The 8 wing is much more sturdy and is the one that I suggest getting.

 

i got mine replaced no questions asked. they took a picture, said they will call me when the new one was in. 6 months later i had a new evo 8 wing this was about a year ago.

 

i have a friend who works for sterling auto who paints all of my parts he's painting my new se lip right now let me know if you want me to ask if he can do your wing.

 

Thanks for all the input. I need to drag my butt to the dealer before it really gets ugly. Theres nothing like your buddies at work making fun of your pride and joy.
