Hey all...

Just curious, how long does it usually take this vendor to ship out items? I ordered a CF wing a few days back, and haven't seen more than an order confirmation. Not impatient at this point, but I've read some horror stories, so I thought I'd do some homework.


Thanks in advance!

I had no issues having it shipped to canada. took two-three weeks from date of purchase. was a very straight forward experience, they kept communicating the hole way.

I've had good luck with JL Motoring, they seem to be good people

I got my diffuser from them. It isn't exactly Amazon Prime shipping speed, but it was reasonable.

Rob CL

Sounds good, folks. Thanks!

Received my part. Quality is okay...

The shape of the spoiler doesn't quite lie flat on the trunk lid, and there are a couple spots where the resin is chipped/pulling away from the fiber.

I'm thinking I can heat the part to reform it somewhat..? And I'll just throw some strong epoxy in the two small problem areas.

Anyone else have quality issues similar to this?

I had the same one on my car, and after a year I just wasn't feeling it. I bought an oem one, painted it and put it on.

The JL is ok -
OEM - You Can't beat.

Here are the "bad" spots...




kompressede, I may just do that, if I can't get this one to play nice.

LOL - (bad spots) I had a rear lower valance also and as fast as I had it I got rid of it. Way to much adjusting, and screwing, and it would have needed glue. I said this is not for me.

Now I have a CF front spoiler, that does fit very nice, but I'm on the fence do I paint it?

Rob, they are pretty good about swapping out pieces if you arent happy. Most of this stuff that the vendors sell come from the same chinese factories. I cant remember who it was from now but I ordered a 3 fin diffuser from someone and had some imperfections on it. They offered to replace it

Rob CL

Good deal. Maybe I'll give them a shot and see what they say.

Finally got around to installing the part. Turned out pretty well, I think...

looks really good, i just ordered one for my s550 its like plastic material type was yours like that ? also does it glue on ? there was no screws on mine just some double sided tape looks like.

Thanks! It's a copied mold of the OE spoiler, ABS plastic, if I had to guess. The carbon cloth is laid over, then gel-coated.

There weren't any mounting materials included with mine, so I laid sections of 3M tape across the length of the top underside of the spoiler. I'm sure a glue could be used, but I didn't want to risk damaging the paint if it decides to come off.

Took it through a spirited highway run, and it stayed on. So overall, I'm pleased with the result.
