Trunk lip/spoilers

This art v2 seems to be hit or miss, looks great when it’s flush. Is there a lot of play after bolting it in or ability to adjust it?

Hope this helps! Someone more savvy/patient may have done a better job installing.. but this is how it looks with all screws aligned and with minimal tape.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Yeah that's a bummer. I'm leaning towards the artwork since it seems like they worked out the issues they had previously (I know some members had fitment issues on the first set of batches).

No, it just fit very well. I spent quite a bit of time checking fit and positioning before I took the the tape off the 3M tape.

I had bad luck with the v2 originally, but the replacement they sent me was way better. Agreed on the install part to some degree. I actually found, the second time around, that getting the adhesive part done first was better, rather than hoping the bolts would pull it in snug. Used the bolts to kind of lock it in place after the adhesive was all set correctly. Also tried not to over tighten them just in case it ended up straining the adhesive and causing the spoiler to shift.

Anyone with a gloss black EOS or Artwork Bodyshop spoiler who can speak to the finish, and how it compares to the stock gloss black trim? The stock spoiler is just a bit too low-profile for me, and I‘d rather keep the simple white/gloss black combo rather than add in CF on the exterior.

I wish someone made a more pronounced version of the stock blade-type spoiler. I don’t really like the trend of the “flaps” toward the outside ends of the spoiler, like the OEM accessory and all the aftermarket options. I feel like I see a dozen cars with unpainted eBay/amazon spoilers in that style on the road every day, and it’s kinda soured me on the look a bit. Not many other options that I’m aware of, other than a full wing setup.

I have the V1 which is a replica of the OEM carbon but in gloss black. The finish is as good as you can get with gloss black. Jeremie (the owner) is proud of his work and the finish matches all the factory gloss on the car.

I have the EOS gloss black spoiler and the finish matches the OEM gloss black perfectly in my opinion, there's no difference that I can tell. Although, it's shipped in a plastic bag inside a box loosely without padding and the finish had imperfections from rattling around inside the box during shipping. I had to put in a few minutes of polishing and waxing to bring it back to a flawless finish.

EOS here, it's a little bit more aggresive than the OEM CF. It's nothing crazy.

finish is the same as the oem CF.

Received my gloss black EOS spoiler yesterday and I see what you mean. There are a bunch of light scuffs and swirls that would likely polish out without too much effort, however my spoiler also came with some pits and heavy paint sag, which would require filler and blocking down, followed by a respray. I'll be returning it to EOS and considering other options. Might just bite the bullet on OEM, since I'm not really looking for a project beyond the R&R of the factory spoiler.

Difficult to photograph, but these pics convey some of the finish issues in my EOS spoiler. Not shown are the swirls and superficial blems that can probably be buffed out. Anyone with their CF or the other brands have any issues like this?

I’m happy with my EOS CF spoiler. I don’t see any of the issues you have with yours. Maybe return and get the CF one!

This is what I’m waiting for. Something that’s just a tad bigger but without the flaps. Until then, I’ll just keep the factory stock gloss one on.

I think EPR might have what you're looking for.

The EPR one was unusable in my opinion. The finish was worse than the EOS mentioned by @Underdog. A corner had severely missing coating, glazed patches of finish in multiple spots. I had it clear coated to fix the issues and then when installing it the fitment was way off. The pointy/forward corners were lifted almost a 1/8" from the rest of the spoiler and felt warped when trying to set on the hatch. It's only held on by double sided tape and was unacceptable fitment to consider it staying on the car safely without eventually flying off. When installed it looked okay, kind of like the Artwork V2, but serious fitment issues. Lost too much money on it and that's the reason I went with the EOS. I'm happy with the EOS even if I had to buff out a few areas.
