As for the wing, mine (also an 03) has a bleached out and peeling clear coat on the wing, and my local dealer took care of it. Mistsubishi is also aware of this too. Good luck....

Is anyone thought about saying screw it and painting or powdercoating them?
I am thinking about get them done to match my car, and ordering brembo stickers and putting them on it. What do you think?
Thanks

Don't blame Mitsu for @$$hole dealers and service departments.
Some dealerships know how to take care of you, and some just know how to get you to take your business elsewhere.

I just got my Wing replace on my 03 Evo with 32K miles and it wasn't much trouble at all.
First they had to ask the big boss to approve it. Took some pictures, call me couple days later say it was approved.
My service rep also told me there is a TSB about this. Although it says nothing about the carbon fiber part of the Wing but it did indicate that the paint tend to fade off.
But then again, my service rep is really really cool and very mod friendly.

i just called another local dealship and they have not issued any new calipers. they also told me that the serivice rep bob disamone would have to see it and evaluate it him self. this is the guy that was a ***** to me and i told them that. so if anyone here deals with this guy, beware of his cockyness and his ability to be a d i c k .

Dealer is doing just what corporate tells them to.
If it was a blanket "no" from Mitsu, why were they helped?
The "corporation" will always be out to save money, so I do believe that you were stonewalled by them. Wrong person, wrong day maybe.
However, a good dealer/service manager will take care of you, because they want your continued business.
Mitsu does business with the dealerships. The dealerships do business with you.

I'm quite certain the dealer I went to did everything they could for me short of paying for the calipers from their own pocket. I bought 2 cars from them already, they know I plan on getting other EVO and I also met the owner. I have a great relationship with that dealer and they are not just yanking my chain.
In my personal case, the hardball is at the corporate level...
This just shows how inconsistent the dealers/corporate depts are. Like you said, depending on who you get at what time and what mood they are in, the outcomes can be as different as night and day. That is just ridiculous!

been checkin this thread and decided to call mitsush*tty corp about this total *** Bill Adams (area service rep) denying my claim for my calipers and the obvious chipping off on the wing clearcoat. basically they said it was his and the regional guys decision and that is that. and the b*tch hung up on me. great customer service. what a company. so, it looks like if you live in the southwest, you stand a chance, southeast it seems some have had their calipers done, but if any of you live in the mid-atlantic and have to deal with this clown bill adams, you're outta luck and have no recourse. if anyone on here is a pissed as i am and wants to start a group claim, please let me know. i will never buy another car from mitsubishi
