I just got the spoiler and was disappointed in the quality, I dont have any reference though for these parts so I was wondering if you could all tell me if im over reacting.

-The whole spoiler is twisted so that only one end can lay flush
-Theres some material bulked up underneath that would prevent the spoiler from laying flat.
-Theres a giant seam running across the entire length of the spoiler
-The clear coat has dimples all over the spoiler

Is this just a poor quality spoiler or are these things that you just deal with when buying carbon fiber parts?

Looks like pretty poor quality. What did you pay for it? From an Ebay seller?

I used to own this spoiler. I paid about $150 shipped. Later sold it to someone on here for $100. They're just not very well made. They look decent on the car, but when you own one, you can see all of the faults with it. You get what you pay for. Any carbon fiber part that cheap isn't going to be great. A high quality CF part would not be like this, but you will pay a lot more.

Also, my clear coat was perfect. Mine was straight, but the outside edges didn't sit against the car and the corners would lift. and yeah there was a seam just like yours.

That sucks too hear, I cant believe that seam is just normal. Thats what really killed it for me, looks terrible, course you dont see that in their store pics.

Wow that sucks. I was considering their front lip. Not anymore thanks to you.
 
They offered me 50.00 in compensation or to pay shipping for sneding this one back and they will send another one. Im rolling the dice on another one and sending it back now. I asked that they inspect this new one before sending it but whoever I was working with only had the barest english and responded "ok friend" to everything so I have my doubts but its cant be worse than what they originally sent me I hope. Ill know probably in the next 2 weeks.

I got my front lip from g4werkz and it arrived yesterday. The site says made to order and got to me in 19 days so counting shipping and such they were on it. Looks good, was packaged well, and I did speak with them once on the phone, they were prompt and helpful. I wish they made more stuff for the Stinger. Its cheaper on their site versus k8, kharz, etc... too.
 
These spoilers and splitters from EPR are just knock offs of M&S, minus the carbon fiber finish. I have no such quality issues on my M&S spoiler.
