So I have an update on the Carsmo spoiler as I know a few of you are interested. I received it last week and Ray is a very nice guy and even though we had a small mishap with the tracking info he was apologetic and explained what happened and in the end his customer service was great. I received the spoiler and the install pack with the little vinyl circles to cover the factory holes. I'm sure they will stand up over time as they are covered by the new spoiler and won't ever be exposed to the elements so no concerns there at all.
I was eager to drop it off for paint and my local body shop has been busy so I had to wait until today. Normally they would charge $150 to spray the part but unfortunately the spoiler needs some bodywork. It's pretty wavy if you look along the top side of the spoiler and there were two low spots that were pretty low. I've spent many years doing body work and creating molds for parts and with fiberglass there is always a little variance to the parts but if the mold is perfect you can usually block the part once and prime then spray. That's not the case with this spoiler. It needs some body work before it will be straight and I honestly couldn't live with it on my car if I just sprayed it as is. This also doubled the price and I'm now paying $300 to have it filled and blocked and primed then painted. I know how much work is involved so the price is fair considering I know how great the work will come out. I will have the part back on Friday and will install it Friday night. I will post pics of the install then. Hope this helps those of you wanting to change or add a spoiler to your car.
