It looks like the dynamics of this fit are off by a small amount on nearly all of the pieces and is enough to cause interference with the trunk lid holes and possibly chip the paint around/ in the hole as you are fitting. Also stressing that wing is bad. Ideally this should be an easy fit where the wing should just drop in. Has anyone thought about carefully enlarging the offending holes with a tool. It sounds like a 1/16th would probably do it. This would give a nice slide in fit and before final bolt down put anti corrosive paint on the bare metal inside the holes. Plenty of decorators tape and a dremel would work. Just sayin ?

The thing that worries me about these fitment issues is that if you're having to pull the stanchions to get the bolts into the holes, that means there's going to be some pressure on those bolts which could eventually lead to the stanchions cracking. My stock style carbon fiber wing from Anderson Composites didn't have any fitment issues like this, all bolts lined up perfectly with the existing holes. I would not be happy with the fitment issues you guys are having nor would I accept that.

Same thing here. Both sides off in 2 directions with the center part aligned. Picture does make it look a little worse than it is.

Even that is a bit bit to much to massage the holes to make it fit.. Need to get some response from Anderson..

WOW that is pretty bad. I would be pissed to pay all that cash, have to wait forever and then get it and it has a crappy fit. That sucks real bad. I have installed two wings for my buddies who dont have a garage and they fit without any drama just dropped right in one was from C7 Carbon the other from vicrez both carbon and they were very nice. The C7 Carbon was a 12 week wait but they delivered on or about the 12th week the other one was in stock and he got it in week...I guess I dont get why you guys are married to this vendor...

Update on communication with Anderson, rec'd email asking for more pictures. I am a pretty patient person so I am willing to give them a chance to make this right, doesn't mean I am going to wait another couple of months for a corrected replacement though. Sucks because I used my last bit of ceramic coating on this wing so I have to order more if they get a fitting replacement out in time.
