Spoiler re-clear... How much?
Just like the title says I was one of the unfortunate ones that couldn't get the spoiler replaced under warranty as I was the 3rd owner and the mitsu. dealer in GA was being gay. I was quoted around 250 by a local body shop just to reclear the faded part and felt that was a tad bit high. I have the money to do it now, but I don't want to pay 250 bucks for it. Has anyone paid a body shop to just re-clear the wing and around how much did you pay?

Thanks. I had a friend that worked in a body shop back in GA and I should have had them do it. They quoted me 100 bucks, but I really never had the money than.

Thats what i'm talking about. I'll go check some other shops. I can remove the spoiler in a matter of minutes, so thats not a problem. Did you have to do the prep work yourself or they are just going to do it all?

how bout a DIY solution? go to a auto paint supply store and get some 1000 grip paper and some top notch clear coat and sand it down and spray it your self? i did some stuff like that and came out looking wet as hell!! perfect finish! and you prob spend 20-30 bucks!

I thought about that, but I don't have a spray gun. I wouldn't mind doing it myself. Also I'm not sure how far you sand down and what you do after you sand it.

Well I had already started wet-sanding the clear, but I highly doubt that had anything to do with the price quote as I maybe spent 20 minutes or so doing it.
