How did you go about doing something like that? I don’t really feel like waiting that long to get my new spoiler, and not a "crappy" half plastic one. Was it worth sanding it yourself or would you ever recommend just taking it to a body shop? I don’t mean to hijack this thread but maybe these questions will bring a few more options then relying on mitsu for anything.

I thought about re-sanding and re-clear the wing. But mine is peeling so badly that it went down to the weave of the CF. So not sure if it's still saveable?
Also thinking of painting the wing either black for the horizontal section or body color for the whole thing.
Then it will for sure go down in value when I want to sell it.

Called South Holland Mitsubishi in Illinois and gave them my VIN. There is a recall for the radiator fan controller and a recall to replace the info sticker inside of the drivers door. The guy said no recall and no even a TSB for the spoiler. He services 6-8 Evos and he hasn't heard or seen anything regarding wing replacement. He also did not hear of the Brembo replacement.

Are you sure its all the way down to the weave? Its probably down to the resin in which case its still salvageable. either take it to a body shop to prep and paint or prep it yourself, its super simple.
I think color matching the wing or painting the center section black just wouldnt look right, my .02c

And there are no replacement for the peeling of the Brembos

It's past the clear and the CF weave is showing and turning yellow. So it's probably down to the weave itself. The discoloration, not sure if they can fix that?
