I wanted to know if anyone has any imperfections in the weave of the carbon fiber in their wing. I spotted my weave deflections the first sunny day I had the car.

The carbon fiber used in the wing is hand laid, right?

That's what I have been telling people. "It's hand laid carbon fiber...the imperfection in the weave just shows that."

Am I right?

Anyone else have an imperfection?

I find mine adds character and I am not upset at all, just curious.

 

I also noticed that my CF wing has it...

 

Mine has imperfections as well....

 

not a big deal if you ask me, only if it starts yellowing or peeling then i'd start getting pissed

 

The flaw is perfectly flat, covered by the factory clear coat. Other than the visual effect, there is no problems or worries with the wing. The flaw adds character imo.

 

nothing on mine, looks perfect

 

To prevent yellowing, ALWAYS HAVE 3 COATS OF WAX on the wing, if you do nothing else.

 

Have nothing on my wing, look perfect.

 

Let me know in a year or so of sitting in the virginia sun if it still "look perfect."

 

Is the clear coat any different that the clear on the car? I wash and wax my wing no different than the whole body.

I do not have any flaws in the clear...this thread was just to gauge imperfections in the weave itself.

 

Take a real close look at someones carbon fiber hood (its got to be a REAL) and most have a lot of imperfections.

 

Mine is fine...

yes it is different.....the clear on your wing is actually an epoxy type clear.

 

hurmmmmm...think it will fade over time even with regular washing and waxing?
