Here is a rundown of the issues we are addressing right now.

- (Complaint) Bolt hole location on the rear bolt
- Pending solution: Waiting on our metal fab department to finish a revised fixture that allows for less tolerance while the holes are being drilled

- (Complaint) Inside the bolt location on visible side of the rear bases some need to be better cleaned / prep.
- Pending solution We are working with our paint and prep department to let them know about this issue. This should be fixed on all new spoilers going out from now on.

- (Complaint) Marks on the paint / finish
- Pending solution: We are going to better package each part of the spoiler and separate the 4 pieces provided. We believe that during transit the bases and the main wing must be hitting a little and making some of the small nicks and marks that some customers have posted about. Our QC dept would never let a product leave the factory with any marks or chips in the finish.

Summary:
We are really close to having this product dialed in, we have had a few hiccups along the way since its a new product and the bases are small but very complex to fabricate. There are 18 molds for the bases! Being able to build the bases slightly thicker and wider allows for the bases to spread the overall weight load of the rear spoiler across more surface area of the rear trunk. So while they may be a little bit more complicated to build this way, we do believe that it is the best way to fabricate them to help distribute the downforce load provided to the trunk.

The main wing itself has been very straight forward and no current issues to address or revisions planned.

We just want to thank everyone for there input! We design our products based on community input and if needed like this product we will also revise and fix any issues based on the community input

The only thing that bothers me is I feel kind of cheated like a guinea pig and new customers will benefit from my struggles. Now, I'm left with an inferior product and all these new guys will be getting better fitting ones with no flaws. Can you do anything about that? Can you offer a replacement AFTER you perfect the process? I've already sold off my stock spoiler, so I cannot send you this one back and be driving around like a half-assed Civic with 6 bullet-sized holes whistling Dixie in the wind as I blaze down the highway.

What can you do for us?

The only changes are cosmetic to the bases.. And as far as being part of the initial purchases.. You should see what the pricing of these spoilers are now

I would just like to follow up on my recent issues with the spoilers I have received and say that I am extremely impressed with C7 Carbon's efforts to make me happy and reconcile the issues. I was personally contacted by Ryan, one of the owners today and can honestly say that you are in very good hands should you decide to spend your money with C7 Carbon regardless of production issues, they will go out of their way to make it right.

Here’s mine. Only complaint is a visible fault in the paint like dirt beneath and no answer from C7 Carbon after I send them the Images. Also the Installation was not easy because the OEM hardware doesn’t fit, I broke one of the threads because I tried the OEM Nuts..one size bigger for this spoiler an they are not delivered in the package. I had only washers with it. So I had to search to find 1/4 20" Nuts. Over all not so happy but now it’s on the car. It looks very good just the fault in the paint is an eyesore. Greetings from Luxembourg 👋🏻

C7 Carbon · 06-16-2018, 12:42 PM

Your car looks amazing!!! Thank you for the pics and we will get ya another wing asap.

Technium · 06-16-2018, 07:15 PM

Thanks for your kind compliments about my car.
It’s your wing that makes the car look perfect. The wing is well designed.
If you send me a new wing...your customer support an overall are on top. The Paint Crack is very visible and I still have the broken threat because of the bad install information and the wrong not fitting oem nuts. It‘s just fixed with 5 nuts for now. It could be a perfect rating without these little but painful issues.
A Company that listens to their customers and try to make there products better has my full support and respect. Looking forward to hear some good news then...my order Nr. was 9414.

Looks like the intro pricing is over and I was thinking I might finally pull the trigger on a 1LE wing. I wanted to wait until all the issues were worked out. Price almost doubled though so I guess I won't be getting one as soon as I thought lol.
