RW Carbon Spoiler vs Ebay Spoiler?
Hey everyone, I've done some research on RW carbon and other similarly priced carbon manufacturers for the F22 and almost everything I've found is mixed. I've heard good reviews, awful ones, etc.
I'm specifically trying to find a CS style spoiler, like this one: https://www.********.com/bmw-f22-f87...k-spoiler.html My current options are between that and an ebay/aliexpress spoiler such as https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-14-18-B...r/192520284917 So my question is this, in yall's experience is it worth it to front more for the RW carbon and hope it lasts or just go for an ebay spoiler and prepare to eat the yellowing cost in a year or so? Or if anyone has solutions to yellowing itself that works. Thanks! |

If the carbon fibre moulding is not clear coated and is left in it's natural state where the epoxy yellows or goes cloudy due to moisture, then WD40 works well to restore the blackness - liberally apply and leave for an hour or so, then wipe off any excess and polish with a cloth.

I've ran eBay spoilers on other cars and have the same AliExpress on my 235, all have been fine, good quality and no yellowing. In the event that something happens to them you can get like 3 more for the price of the "real" ones.

Had 100$ ebay one for 3 years. Some bubbles at the end of its life from heavy sun exposure and more likely due to the cracked edge where water would enter.... i broke it... dont damage it and you should be good. I replaced for another china one. Still running at 30% of the cost |

I have the fancy RW Carbon mirror caps and rear decklid spoiler and am not a fan of the quality.
Mirror caps started to degrade after a year, and spoiler soon after that. This car was babied during that time, barely had any sun exposure, also lived in Ohio that time so the time it was not in the garage the sun was probably not out much. RW Carbon never replied to my requests.
