I'll chime in.
So I ordered a CF wing from WeaponX about 4 months ago. Seemed like a decent price, and was told(via their site) it was better or equal to OEM. No problem, lets do it!
Well, the wing arrived yesterday. Came packaged well, and looked pretty protected from any damage it could sustain during shipping.I had expected it that day, so I called my buddy up and he drove over. We ripped the OEM ZL1 spoiler off(he accidentally melted/discolored some paint with the heatgun on a stanchion while removing adhesive
) No problem, moving on.
Lined the wing up ready to drop in and "uh oh" the studs don't line up with the holes. A couple pictures below:
Well shit. I got the bolts to flex a bit and we were able to get it in, but it was tiiiiight. A lot of brute force was involved. Slapped the nuts on and slowly tightened everything down. Next problem! The toes of the stanchions don't rest on top of the trunk lid. Pictures below:
Pictures don't do it justice, simple because the lighting isn't very good. In the daylight you can
clearly see the gap between the trunk lid and the toes.
I've already reached out to WeaponX, and it looks like they are set on helping me get it fixed. Their sales guy agreed that this is unacceptable, and that for the price of the product I should get a correctly fitting product. If we can't, I'm not sure what I'll end up doing in the end. The whole thing was a nightmare to get it on, and it looks like shit up close now that it is on. Half hour job turned into like 4 hours while we played with it to see if we can get it on without damaging anything. Fitment issues make me fear performance/stability issues with the wing itself, and I'm concerned about any damage to my vehicle as a result of the wing flexing or worse, ripping off somehow. I'll keep you guys updated, I'm not too keen on waiting 4 more months to get a corrected product.
Disclaimer: this isn't a post to rip on WeaponX or whoever manufactured the wing, but rather to be informative.
