Sounds like he needs to hire a marketing guy, or at least a CRM

More pics on my build thread.


For the record, the quality of this wing is crap. The fitment sucks, the finish sucks, and I'm not sure how much of it is actual real carbon fiber.

Painter's tape stripped off the clear during the molding process:




I don't see any carbon fiber under there :/

Would avoid buying this spoiler unless you're ready to put alot of time and money into getting it to sit/fit right (or if you just don't care).

^Thats the first I have seen of bad quality. I guess getting it to fit right does require some work from what I have heard. I guess I will be finding out because I just put my order in for one.

It's the first one I've seen this bad as well. However, I was one of the first of a "new batch" he had to make. His old mold was trashed apparently, and he had to make a new one before he was able to make mine. The clear coat shouldn't have anything to do with the mold of course...but maybe he changed something in his process...

Either way though, the fitment is still pretty bad imo. Only reason I was able to get mine decent was because of the molding work.

I have not. It's hard enough to get in touch with him (never answers emails, barely answers phone), and I didn't want to go through the hassle. By the time I had found the issue, the wing had already been molded onto the trunk...there wasn't much else that could have been done. I had intended on leaving the Carbon Fiber exposed...but since the clear striped off like that, I just opted to have it painted over in Black.

My main gripe about it is that it doesn't seem to be real carbon fiber. I tihnk it's mostly an FRP shell with a LITTLE bit of carbon inside. The outside/clear almost looks like some kind of CF sticker with a clear coat on it. I didn't really look into it as much as I probably should have.
