Default Pics of eg spoon spoiler

I got mine today and it comes no where close to my expectations. The inner edges are rough, the rear edge is scuffed, and fitment is horrible. Please post pics of the area where there is a 90degreee angle on the right or left. Where the spoiler begins to come down. Mine is REAL rough, not rolled or smooth at all. Thanks for the help in advance.

If i hold it up to the light I can see through it! I know not all spoon products are great but, their carbon fiber fit and finish is supposed to be second to none.

dont feel bad dude, i got scammed on mine too. i bought my spoon cf spoiler and it was really made of poor quality. the clear coat on mine was real shabby and water got underneath and ruined some parts of the carbon fiber, making it look grey and faded. like the cf is running together. i am going to get mine stripped down and have a shop relay another layer of cf on it to make it look new again. well hope you can make it work for you. mine didnt fit great at all, i almost broke mine putting it on. ill post pics later

I just spoke w/ the online shop I got it from. Theyre sending me out one tomorrow. As long as they remedy the problem and the new spoiler lives up to my expectations, I will not post who the vendor was/is. If not, then ill make damn sure everybody knows they are trying to pass replicas off as the real thing, which is what I think happened. I need close up pics of edges and fitment to make sure. To add one other fault, the spoiler had water marks (like when you wash but dont dry your car)and hand prints. I think it was on somebodys car!

I will take some pics in a little bit. The one on my EG is not "perfect" but is far better than any knockoff I have seen.

Description:
The edges are not rolled. They are not made that way. I promise.

The top edge that is along the roof is level with the roof when viewed from a profile. Most knockoffs I have seen sit 1/8" to 1/4" HIGHER than the roof.

The corners that come down to a point on the sides do not perfectly line up with the body. It is close, and equal on both sides tho.

The finish is smooth, no ripples. There is a slight fogginess in a couple areas. My logit tells me they are air bubbles, but I am not pickey enough to complain about that.

The weave is awesome. Tights and even, and it doesn't separate around the curves like most lesser wings would.

I know it is Spoon too, cuz I sold it to myself


Keep in mind too, this is not the same quality **** they use to make Ferraris. At the pickiest level, there are going to be flaws. But consider how hard it is to lay CF, and all the goofy curves and angles that spoiler has in it.....it is bound to have imperfections. Mine does. But it is the best I have seen.

I just picked mine up at Area 51 while on my trip to cali. I here on the real spoon one there are cardboard peices on the inside of the spoiler for support. The weave is real tight and small.

Just put mine on tongiht. I dont have any pics of it yet, but the fitments is perfect!

Well, the weave was nice and tight. It did have some sort of cardboard/fiberglass on the inside. The finish was nice other than the waterspots and the scuffs on the outside edge. The fitment was not good. Maybe I just got a bad one. My salesman seems egar to remedy the problem and that get from me.

I got a cf spoiler the other day from a friend of mine. It does not fit very good eitrher. The fiber has a good lay to it but the fit is bad. I drilled out the holes the bolts go through and I got it to fit a little better.
