“Purchase my 2008 mitsubushi evolution x about one month ago with 2,900miles. I don't drive it often since I have a company car. My current miles is 4,400miles. I am beginning to notice alot of small chips toward the back doors bottom corner near quarter panel on both side of the vehicle. Been on many forums and alot of evo x owner are experiencing the same paint problem.the road condition here are in good shape, so I don't see why the paint is chipping away. Im afraid when I reach 10,000miles, the car interior would still be fairly new but the exterior would have paint chipped everywhere. …”
