Spoiler Clear Coat is chiping off?!?!?!?!

Hrmmmm....it would seem that the wind abrasion is chipping the clear coat off of my carbon fiber spoiler(stock evo8 spoiler). Will Mitsu replace this you think? Has anyone else had this experience? Thx in advance

no problem. what i really think tho cuaes the problem is pebbles or other little things going over the car and slowly chiping away at the wing. then it starts to peal off. not shore tho. ima stick with going to fast. lol

I had same problem . Carbon fiber will start to discolor chip will get big and deeper
has to do ultraviolet damage. New wing seems to have thicker clear coat. I can
see the orange peel in the new one . Mits replaced it for free. I was 5th one
in past 6 months at that dealer

The majority of times you buy an OEM product, it is covered by a warrenty of some kind. Ceck it out, you never know what may happen!
