Quality of voltex carbon????

Hi, I have a voltex type 5 v-mount carbon wing but am far from happy with the quality(End plate has fine cracks under the gel coat, spoiler blade were its joined in the middle has a lot off defects and a few blisters here and there). Its being sent back to the vendor that it was purchased from in the U.K for a refund. Am going to buy another one from Driveline just waiting on Eric getting back with some pics. What am wondering is, is there any other members that have purchased these wings that aren't happy with the quality? Would hate to buy another one(as am in the U.K) if its just the way they are. Would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this matter.

I bought it from a UK trader, it was a authentic voltex spoiler. Am either going to go though driveline who i know is a authorised dealer or else Voltex themselves. Some more thoughts on the quality off voltex products would be really appreciated as am thinking about buying a full cyber street kit in the future.

from what i have seen, voltex products are VERY well made... their body kits need almost zero body work to get them straight and true... fit like a glove right out of the box.. their carbon is very well made, but i have seen some webbing here and there on some products.. but not bad at all.... to most, it would be a very easy oversight (like me).. most of the time, the webbing is from shipping and storing, not from voltex manufacturing..

hopefully the wing from driveline will not have the same issues.. as i havnt seen any negative responses to anything driveline ships out

Ive got small issues with my Voltex wide body kit, fitment isnt %100 but damn close. My Voltex wing had very small imperfections but they really do top notch work and with shipping/changing of hands multiple times, i assume it wont be perfect. Driveline is the way to go for sure, ive had nothing but excellent customer service/prices from those guys.

Am pretty sure with the amount off pm's me and Eric have had between us he will make sure my wing is 99% perfect if not 100%. I can live with a few imperfections as long as theres no gel coat damage, scratches or cracks like the last one i had from a U.K trader

You guys are awesome. I made sure that this wing was packaged in immaculate condition- suspended in the middle of the box with cardboard, foam, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts.
