Carbon Fiber Cnautofans Spoiler

Ladies and Gentlemen. It's here.
Unboxing / Photos included.
Mock-Fitment (Size) Included as well.











And here are the imperfections.



This Spoiler was $203 Shipped.

Order Placed 3/29/16
Order Shipped 4/1/16
Order Delivered 4/5/6

The quality of the weave is great. They did a fantastic job keeping the weave in line around the molding of this spoiler.

Although!

There is quite a bit of white pasty residue left over. this DOES buff off with a microfiber (Tested).
There is what looks like minor air bubbles in the UV Protective coat.
There is a small scratch/crack from the hole. (I assume from vacuum pressing?)
There is a THICK UV protective coat on this spoiler from the feel of it.

I decided to purchase this to show everyone on the forums the quality of this product. Keep in mind I did NOT receive any compensation for this.

What do you think? for $200 would you order this?
Can you deal with the minor flaws?

I am going to contact CNAUTOFANS about these flaws as well, to hear their explanation.

Cheers!

Looks really good and its hard to beat that price. The shipping time seemed super fast too.

As far as the flaws, it would depend. I would definitely bring it up to the distributor, but if its really minor, I think I would be able to live with it.

Problem would be if its really visible, like a smudge or crack in the middle of the product where it its really visible, it would probably bother me.

Yeah I actually expected it at the end of this week, so I am happy with the shipping time.

Hows the fit? I'm tempted now but that hole is deterring me from ordering for sure.

I thought it was installed. Now that I look closer at the pictures... is the top indented? There was another cheapo carbon fiber someone else bought that was flat and I wasn't a fan.

That looks nice! I paid $100 more from RW Carbon and it is probably from the same exact distributor (mine just shipped out today, will be getting it and installing this upcoming weekend)

Should have looked harder to locate the deal you got at cnautofans save myself $100. RW Carbon does, however, quality check their item before shipping though.

oh well

Let me know when you receive yours, and let's do a quality comparison.

Looks like most of these are indented on the top with a raised bevel.

Yes. the Ebay and RW carbon versions are the same as the Cnautofans version.
Although, the Cnautofans version is still quite a bit cheaper.

Still waiting on a response from the company as to the imperfections.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THAT GUY! He actually changed the eBay name to something else to avoid the negative feedback.

After a fight with paypal and ebay I got my full refund back (including shipping i paid). A month of fighting to get it back. (I have still have the wing though, it's CF material but terrible packaging)

It looks really good! That price is hard to beat as well! Personally, I could live with the imperfections.

I could live with the small bubbles in the coating. I could probably sand them out and coating correct them.
as far as the hole goes. I feel that's not acceptable. Even for $200. It should at least be filled from factory.
