Passenger side kinda flush

Driver side fucking high

I guess I better stop buying body parts, cuz all I have been getting is fucked up shit. Just like the VIS CF hood a few months ago from showstoppers.

wow, mine fits better than that. mine is not exactly flush but closer than yours.

btw - i didn't use their weatherstrip, i used some of my own... theirs looked too cheap.

Did you cut out some of the hard ass plastic that holds the back window in place?? I bought one used off a fellow EPhatch member (thx Jester) and he gave me some instructions from his original Honda spoiler and it said to cut out the black plastic that was sticking out. Take off your spoiler and have a quick look, it may solve your issues.


As for the weather stripping, I think I have to redo mine too because I am afraid all the salt is going get in there and rust my car fromt he inside out.


PM me with your email and I'll email you the Honda instructions.

bioevolve - althought the instructions don't say to remove the factory velcro stuff from the window under the stock spoiler, i did. maybe that would help yours fit a bit better. just a thought...

I did remove that and the rubber hole seals. It's just poor accuracy on the manufacuer.

Oh, did you check out my pimp ass antenna in the pics lol.

bioevolve - you should call them (it's under warranty) and get a new one. good luck!

Keep us posted!

I'm sure a lot of us are interested in this wing, but we won't put up with poor workmanship!

Hopefully, the guy who made yours got fired!;)

glad, you're sending it back. mine isn't perfect either, but it's really close -- great finish, paint match, no runs. heres a photo from my cheap camera...

Ok, UPS came picked up the RMA'ed wing on 20th, spoilersdepot.com got it on the 21st(12pm ish) It's the 22th noon time and they still haven't looked at it to verify that is a defect. These people seem to think their customers are not important enough. :mad: The said they are going thru all their returned merchandise :o They must be swamped with returns, hmmmmm that doesn't sound to good for that business.


Just got off the phone with them, they said call them back Tuesday and they will give me an answer. Bastards!:mad:

Ok, 7 days later! They finally got to inspect the wing. I called them like 10 times on it, crappy service! Now they are saying give them 2-3 and they will send out a new one:rolleyes: maybe sometime next week I will get a new one or probably get a my old one back fixed. They just freaking suck.

:mad: Round II with spoilerdepot.com:mad:

After 14 days with the wing in RMA I finally get it back. I'm sad to says They are the sorriest S.O.B's!

Get the package and I see the wing poking out of it.

I guess they don't know that liquid foam when it hits the air I expands and expands and expands, looks like this one wasn't finished expanding when they packaged it.

Corner of wing is chipped and scuffed from being pushed out of the box and UPS moving it around.

Looks like they had a hard time redoing the wire or just a hot tempered employee.

It's same wing I sent back to them, they sanded the thickness on one side and repainted. Guess they didn't want to loose any money to send me a new one, they just tried to fix the defective one. Bastards!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid77/pd96b83d96507b2bd8fd8aa89374b776c/fb310daf.jpg
Hopefully it will fit better than it did before, which I will do this weekend. Over all I DO NOT recommend these guys to anyone :mad: :mad: :mad:

bioevolve

Put the wing on again, It fit better than it did before but still 1/8th of an inch high off the hatch. Guess that is as good as it is gonna get from that company.:(
Anyhoo........here are some pics of it.
