Bad Carbon spoiler

Hi Guys, I wanted to know did anyone get their carbon fiber wings replaced? Mines has lots of little bubbles under the top layer. Are they covered by warranty? Need help i think its getting worse...

I had mine replaced. The Clear coat on mine went bad on the center of the wing and looked like it had been scratched. I also had been waxing it once a week with a UV wax, but with no luck. My new spoiler is much better and the dealership even put a second coat of clear on it.

From what I understand the company that made the first spoilers did a ****-poor job, so Mitsubishi got another company to make them. The old Spoilers were completely carbon fiber. However, the new ones have a carbon fiber wing section and inner side, but the painted end caps are a high impact plastic.
