Thought I would share an honest review with my fellow enthusiasts. A while back I ordered the carbon fiber track pack like spoiler from Carbon Dynamics.
The journey from their doorstep from mine was a little frustrating. They fudged the shipping date by several weeks. Got a few emails suggesting one date then when that date would pass I would get another date. I decided to be patient and ride it out.
Eventually the spoiler arrived and it was well packaged. When it arrived I inspected it and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Oddly I swear the thing is hollow but maybe that was just my perception. I had a stock spoiler installed already so the swap was simple. The new spoiler came with 4 threaded studs that picked up the OEM holes. A small gripe I had was that the factory spoiler also used the 4 threaded studs but also had 3 alignment pins for precise positioning. Also on the outboard edges the factory spoiler picked up 2 other plastic clip/pins. None of this was present on the new spoiler.
Once out of the package I realized that the adhesive tape that came installed on the spoiler was way too close to the front edge and would be a major eyesore when installed (when you can see the double sided tape it screams cheap). The other major issue with their tape position was that it only covered the front corners. This would not have completely sealed the spoiler to the lid allowing water to enter all of the remaining holes and rust out my trunk. I completely removed their adhesive and installed my own and recessed it enough so that it would not be visible when the spoiler was installed.
All in all it took about an hour to remove the old spoiler and adhesive and install the new one. Once installed I was pretty happy with the look. I like the more aggressive angle of attack they used over the OEM track pack spoiler.
My last comment is that when I look at the spoiler in good lighting I see waves all over the front face of the spoiler. It is kind of embarrassing as it makes it look pretty cheap.
If you have a clue what you are doing you can make the best of this spoiler but it comes with some real rookie set backs.
