RPI designs rear spoiler

Tabloma · 01-17-2019, 11:27 AM

I would like any input anyone has on the 6 th gen rear spoiler offered by RPI designs regarding quality and fit and finish. I really don’t like the rear spoiler on my 18 ZL1 A10 and hope this is a quality piece

I have had it (the one piece blade) for about 2years and love it. People get nervous that they think it will hit. Mines never made contact with the car even when friends or gf forget it's not an old beater and slam the trunk. Fit and finish is great. You may want to see how they're paint quality is these days. It was iffy when I ordered. Mines just their satin black and the paint is starting to bubble in 2 spots. I always planned on painting it the same as I had my hood/rockers/splitter painted but keep putting it off.

Thanks, my idea is to do exactly what You want to do👍 I think I will get it in primer. I hope your bubbles are just in the paint and not coming from the f-glass itself. THANKS!

Check reviews on RPI. Way more bad than good. I ordered mine before doing proper research on them. Mine arrived with one thin layer of paint that could be rubbed off by hand. $99 for $3 worth of paint. There was a chip at the top of the blade as well. Not impressed.

No issues with mine, paint is good, fiberglass is a tiny bit wavy but not noticeable unless you point it out. Overall very happy with the piece....and the look....

I bought one of the very early one's in matte black and it was very ruff the bottom didn't lay flat on the trunk lid and was wavy and uneven. I started to sand all the high spots down and found it had been painted red under the black, the same red that their car on the video showing the spoiler. Anyway I called to bitch about the poor quality and how it had been painted red under the matte black they came up with some ole bullshit that it was red primer not red hot red. They are liars!! I kept the spoiler and repaired all the half ass work myself. I wouldn't buy a microfiber towel from that outfit!
