99% of carbon fiber parts arent made in california let alone in the usa btw

I DM'd Anderson earlier today asking about my nov 9th order. They were quick to respond but not what I was wanting to hear. They said they are HOPING to START November orders in May. :( that's alittle later than when I was told end of March to early April.


I just dm'd next-gen about their spoiler. Asked for a few more picks and see what the wait time is. If its less than a month I may cancel my order with Anderson. I didnt mind waiting the 3 months i was told... But im almost a 5 months and told it will be another 2.

So, I still have the 2nd wing that AC sent me. One thing I want to note is the wing has a few questionable cracks. I left it in the basement because I was waiting for a new one, however, they’ve decided to cancel the order since they can’t figure out what’s going on. I already ordered a wing from Next Gen Speed, but I was curious to see how the car would look with AC’s wing. After sitting for over a month I’ve noticed more cracks in the resin that weren’t there the day I received it. I believe there might be an issue with the resin they use. The fitment was terrible. I had to stretch the one leg in order for the bolts to line up with the holes. During the process it chipped some of the paint around the holes due to the crooked alignment. One of the the bolts broke loose and started to spin with the nut. The middle stanchion doesn’t sit flush with the trunk lid. I know this wing was defective due to shipping, however, the other issues are manufacturer defects. I don’t even know if they would have honored a refund, especially after waiting 2 months to install it. Anyways, I thought I would let you guys know my experience. Make sure you check the fitment on your wings. It does look very good on the car

Just my opinion, but I think the cold weather has something to do with the cracking resin! It shouldn't if it is done correctly.

I think you are right. A small crack showed up near the center of the wing. It’s unlikely that it was damaged in this area during shipping. I’m glad I received my refund

When they first started selling them, which was last month. He told me 3-4 weeks. When they changed to 5-6 weeks and then "I don't know when I am getting them", I cancelled my order. The website indicates the batch that is currently "in production" is due on or before 1 Apr. This is the same batch, he told me would be shipped on 20 Mar.

I have the oem dive planes, which required a full bumper removal. They were around $56 each?? It’s tough to beat oem quality, especially at that price.
