evo wing question

hey guyus just curious, where would b the best place to buy a stock evo wing... the real one. it looks like someone had jusmped on mine or tried to sit on it n bend it n its cracked in a couple places so now it flexes downward when i hit about 75mph

Try lancershop.com  they seem to have everything

your best bet is either the dealership, which will be expensive im sure. Or you can check on evom and see cuz im sure there are people selling them

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?

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 weather that 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).

I got mine replaced with a brand new all carbon 8 wing,  that was I think a year ago though

Interesting.  I was on a waiting list for over 9 months about 2 years ago now, and finally told them screw it give me the 9 wing.  They said after that that there were no more 8 wings anyway.

i kno this is gunna hurt, but how much is a wing from the dealer, isn't it like 1250 i heard somewhere. And how long is the warranty on the evo 8 i believe it is 5 years 50k miles and evo 9 it's 10 year 100k miles

My wing took about 4 months to get.
 
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

Oh!!! you can find those Wings on Craigslist (again). But you have to surf Craigslist to find them. some owner crashed their Evos or Lancer and they are selling their car parts for cheap. I would do it Locally at your area. Scums are very notorious on CL.
 
 

ya, thanx a lot for the advice and ya there's alotta scammers on cl, i've noticed

Damn, I just gave away a thunder gray evo8 all carbo wing, I had it installed on my 04 Ralliart and I sold the car, no one would buy the wing so I gave it to this kid who had an 04 es for free!

you couldnt have tried hard enough to sell.  those things are worth a few bills and people in the Evo company like EvoM seem to buy all the time

dude why didn't you give it to me?! I woulda flipped it and sold it for a few hundred,lol and ya I always hear a lot of people looking for them. Did you just put it on cl or something? Because like emonz said if you would have put it on evoM you woulda sold it for sure for a decent amount. But let me know next time you're letting evo parts go for free cuz i'll be happy to take 'em off your hands
 
I was also wondering if there's anything you can do to slow the process down of the clear coat decomposing, I know keeping it away from sun and stuff like that. just wondering if there's anything else to be done to help it last longer.
