I just bought an Evo from a guy who apparently never waxed the spoiler, so it has areas of oxidation along the top. Would removing & reapplying the clear coat fix this problem? Approximately how much would this cost? Thanks!

that isn't the cause of that oxidation..... the earlier Evos (03-05) had a problem with the clear coat separating from the carbon fiber.... how many miles are on your Evo? If it has any sort of warranty left you can take it to a local Mitsu dealer (preferably South Coast or HB) and have it replaced under warranty

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be heading over to the dealership...

something else to consider would be for a body shop to strip the wing completely and re clear coated. that way you will have an entire cf wing... there's several members who have done this.

Approximately how much would you think that would cost? Thanks

It costs $100 to do the CF in the middle and $150 if you want to do the sides.

You're right. I just went to a couple bodyshops and one quoted me $100 for the middle. A second shop I went to said that a new clear coat wouldn't fix the problem and I would need to buy a new wing :idiot2: . . .

I just got the center piece re-clear coated today. Looks brand new. They said it would about another $100 to strip the sides.
