I have the usual CF wing on my VIII that the clear coat is starting to fade. The whole center section still has clear coat, but it is getting hazy.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I've got the same problem you are describing. Perhaps there was a bad batch. I got mine in March of '03. How about you?

I was going to take mine in to hopefully get replaced under warranty sometime in the near future. I'm at 32k miles or so right now.

I went to the dealership (avondale mitsubishi) with 36,020 miles on my car. Those isiots tried to tell me that they wouldnt replace my spoiler under warranty. I got into a HUGE argument with the guy.

finally got them to replace it, but now they say its on back-order

If they replace your wings on your VIII's don't they give you IX wings instead? (because the VIIIs aren't made anymore)

My '05 MR's spoiler has just begun the fading process. I reported to my dealer and they acknowledged the problems with the VIII spoilers fading. In fact, they showed me a bulletin from Mitsu to them, giving them the necessary protocols to follow in the event that a customer has a fading wing and wants to replace it. The two options given were A.) Replace with the (and I quote, "more durable") Evo IX wing or B.) Wait for another Evo VIII wing replacement. I chose option A.

Not sure of the build date since I'm not the first owner, but I believe the car was bought new in June '03. I have 33,500 miles on the car, so I guess I should hurry up to the dealership.

So they are still making the VIII wing? That's one of the reasons I haven't taken my car in yet, because I didn't want the new IX wing. I can wait if they are offering that option.

My SPOILER is fading pretty bad. Took it to the dealer, they're replacing it with no hassle at all.

I made a proto-type wing cover about a month ago to just cover the horizontal carbon fiber part. Double layer ultra suede w/ velcro attachments. I've recently had to start parking outside and figured this would be a good way to test my cover. Hopefully it will alleviate some of this problem.

I have the same problem with my spoiler. It's getting covered under warranty, now the only problem is when will they have it. I've been waiting for a while now and still no spoiler

Are all of you getting it replaced with the VIII wing, or the new IX wing?

for those of you that dont have any fading yet (or those that it is very little or just beginning) WAX YOUR WING!!! trust me...it will slow the progress of the fading or prevent it. wax it and wax it often!

I guess I should check to see if it can be covered under warranty.

I'm getting a VIII spoiler. Getting any info from Mitsu when it will be in is turning into a joke. I've been on the phone on hold for 15 minutes now and all I get is someone picking up the phone every 5 minutes and telling me to hold. Their service sucks @ss!!!!!!
