Yeah we suck and we also intentionally put things on backorder just to irritate YOU. We don't make any $$$ on the warranty of the wing AND we can't take care of our customers AND you don't get the wing if it's on backorder either.

It sucks for us just as bad. Relax and when it gets here you will get it put on.

Just tryin' to show you guys that there are other people being inconvenienced by back orders. We need work just as bad as you need the spoiler. A backorder is no good for anyone. It's not just about you as a customer.

I'm not bent, just tryin' to show you guys the other side of the business.

I'm sorry. Sometimes it sounds like I'm goin' off when I'm not really.

Thumbs down

The dealer replaced my wing about 3 months ago without me even mentioning it. I was suprised when he mentioned because I knew it was a bit faded but not concerned with replacing it. Well after getting the car back I noticed the horride paint job their local shop did to it and I was to happy about it. Well they forgot to mention also that they didnt put any wax on it so less then a month later it already started showing signs of wear this time in the form of holes in the gel coat. Well now a couple months later the "new" wing looks way worse then the old "original" ever did and will only get worse. The spots are down to the CF grain and more holes are starting to appear.


Is there any way of repairing and then resealing the wings? Does anyone have links to this new 8 wing they are developing?
