Hi all,
While I'm in the process of moving I unfortunately don't have the time to drive or do many other upgrades to the car but today I had 30 minutes with two helpers and knocked this out. This is the Z1 style 1 spoiler/lip.
Overall quality - 9.3
- very small imperfections, little dimples in a few of the areas
- if I paid $400+ more for carbon fiber or really anything else in that price range I would be peeved, but not at this price and quality
Overall Finish - 9.5
- on the edges of the base it is somewhat rough. I do not believe this will rub and damage paint. I believe the edges of note are slightly raised off the paint due to the tape
- finish is consistent, not cloudy, not marred. I am very detail oriented and I am happy to report this area is great
Overall fitment - 9.8
- at times you will think it may not lie down and look factory but I assure you, get some helpers, tape up the area - I used a vertical tape middle of the spoiler going up to the rear window, obviously cut in half, so I could line up both horizontally and vertically. Worked perfectly
Final score - 9.7
- this is because I really like it, and the very small imperfections are completely acceptable and still exceeded my expectations for a lower cost, high quality spoiler/lip. I am not the biggest Z1 fan at times but I am glad they proved me wrong here. Good job guys!
