RE: evo wing question
hey, how long should the clear coat on a wing last on average. Also is there anything that can be done to make it last longer? I was thinkin' about gettin' a sheet of clear plastic to cover it, the same material used to make the clear bra's for the front of the car to avoid rock chippage. u guys think that would work?

RE: evo wing question
no that wont work. My wing was perfect at 12K miles by the time 2 years went by the wing was awful it looked lik stained milk on the top all across it. the new wing so far a year and not a mark on it. just gotta wax it ALOT. and try to keep for storring the car outside, its the sun and weatherthat kills them not rock chips

That was also a big problem. I had my wing relpaced. There was a rash of wings with the gel coat failing (carbon fiber does not get a clear coat like paint, more like fiberglass).What they will do if the car is still under warranty is replace it with a new style wing off a 9 (not all carbon like the 8, but they no longer produce those).

And no the Evo wing is no warrenied for that long that falls under a differnt warrenty. the VIII gets a 3 year 36000 mile and im sure the IX is the same for the paint warrenty.
I had my wing replaced at 35,600 miles lol waited on purpose till the very end because the spotting started at like 20K for me
