I also had fitment issues and a small scratch.

No it doesn't. I wish it did though or I would pick one up.

I got mine pre-painted. In fact, Carsmo delayed delivery by a few weeks because they were working to get the color matching on all the colors as close to perfect as they could.

If they stopped doing pre-painted, I don't know. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

In their current group buy they said they are no longer offering painted as an option.

That sucks. They did a great job on the paint matching. Maybe it's just on the group buy? I don't see why they can't fire off a wing to their painter on a buyer's request.

I think they were having too much variation in the paint outcome, that they figured it would be better to sell a great product and not have to worry about paint matching complaints.

I just got an email back from Tim at Carsmo confirming they DO NOT pre-paint spoilers anymore (the spoiler comes unpainted)

[Draco-REX]

Ah well. Still, at least you'll know the paint will match if you have it done locally.

I installed a black one about two weeks ago. I purchased it from another member on this forum, but it was still brand new when I received it and installed it.

The fiberglass is VERY wavy and I saw at least one fish-eye in the paint.

My biggest issues is that the tape isn't sticking. Not the tape that I applied..but the tape they applied at the factory/sweat shop where these POS's are molded. I have a daily routine of pushing it back down each morning before I leave the garage.

Aaron, if it's coming up and you need to push it back down every day. .you need to pull it off and retape it and re-install it. It's only going to get worse and eventually come off.. hopefully not in traffic.

I agree on the wavy comment as well. I have a picture (that I can't post right now because I'm at work) of the spoiler from straight across and you can tell it's not straight.. there is some wavyness. However, you have to look closely and at the right angle to see it.. So it's like everything else with this piece.. looks good from a distance, but upon close inspection you can tell it's not well made.

[CaptainSlow]

Yup, I'm just calling it a loss. Might as well have burned $400...would have been more entertaining/satisfying. The fact that the main source of this spoiler has remained quiet (even after I asked him to post in the thread) says a lot, too.

So there's no refunds if its a bad fit?

[CaptainSlow]

I'm not saying that - I wrote them an email regarding a refund over the weekend (after I test fit it and took pictures), and I haven't heard anything back. Granted, they told me the last time I talked to them that they don't check their email very often, and the best way to contact them is to call, but I really just don't even want to deal with it anymore, so I'm cutting my losses and considering it a lesson learned. If they want to contact me and offer me replacements until I get one that fits (including any shipping to/from their place or the manufacturer) I'll take that...or my money back...either would be OK with me. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
