Autoid rear spoiler

Anyone have one?
Not sure which one to go for - they seem to do a few of differing sizes but I’m not sure if the bigger one would look odd.

Cheers!

Think I’d prefer it painted body colour if I’m honest.
But then there’s no point paying out for CF..

It’s a nice CF piece but I agree if you want it painted that defeats the purpose.

I’ve no plans to have any other carbon so I think it’d look a bit odd.

It’s too wavy for me, ordered the Competition version of the spoiler and I will be selling it.

I assume he's referring to CF weave pattern.

Same here. Inconsistent weave pattern, the spoiler itself looks a bit off,like waves in the clear coat....It just looks very cheap ! I also got the rear diffusor from them where there are actual flaws in the carbon weave that look like dirt from afar. Fit of the diffusor is very poor. Basically, these parts should have never gone through quality control
The worse is, I sent them an email to make them aware of the issue, including pictures of the defects, not even asking for a refund. Never even got a reply or an apology. I know mistakes happen, I know these parts are cheap and you get what you pay for, but still, at least own up to it and apologize. I don't like to put people on blast but this is just bad business.
I also ordered a set of their mirrors which I will not even install and sell dirt cheap.
Lesson learned, buy cheap, buy twice I went with the genuine BMW M performance spoiler and diffusor, a different league in terms of quality. Do things properly with a vendor who stands behind their product.

Damn, I was just about to pull the trigger on one of these as I like the aggressiveness vs the comp (I currently have). Now having second thoughts...

May end up buying one of these just to paint it.!

The resin over the carbon fiber has a wavy texture and the bottom of the spoiler is not straight. I decided not to install it on my M2C and instead purchased an M Performance spoiler.

Hmmm, maybe a bad batch? I do not have these issues. My weave looks legit and it sits flush and straight on the trunk.

Could be worse. I paid 1300+ USD for a flawed diffusor, cheap-ass looking spoiler and a set of mirrors that I won't get installed.
C'est la vie !

I don't think they are big on customer service. They send me the wrong mirror caps and when I emailed them about it they never replied, so I just put the wrong mirror caps on :
