I don't think it can be buffed out.
Then near the sharp edges of the spoiler where it bends downwards, the carbon fiber weave is completely exposed/cracked. If you run your finger along that edge you'll instantly realize that it's rough and not smooth like the rest of the spoiler.

Right now The Z store is happily to work with me for an exchange but I have to wait for 3-4 weeks. Hopefully the next one will be better. Keep you guys updated.

Sorry to see ya off to a bad start. Are they comping you anything for your time? Kinda sucks to have to wait another month.....

No, I guess shipping is comp, so I'm ok. I was expecting the worst for them to not even cover that --- that would have sucked if that was the case. I wasn't ready to fork out another ~$100 to ship it back.

The Z store said they would inspect it carefully next time before they ship anything out next time for me. So we'll see...

The link is listed below:
Carbon Fiber Listed $549.95 + shipping
FRP Listed $439.95 + shipping

Zstore is a quality outfit, they will take care of you.

I receive a lot of things via UPS and Fedex as well as independent shippers every day. You have to inspect every box before you accept delivery. Time-consuming but necessary.

And you never know...that scratch might have been caused by an overzealous new owner opening the box with a sharp knife...I speak from experience....

So I got some updates for the Nismo High Wing from the Z store. Luckily I did not deal with EVO-R directly. He's on vacay for 2 weeks to celebrate CNY.

The Z Store got 2 new spoilers with 1 having the same exact issues with the broken weave at the edges. As for the other one had a blur in the resin at the inner tip and a small hair line scratch which hopefully can be buffed out.

I'm at the pt where I'm just going to have them ship it out so I can have it by sometime Tuesday. We'll see if by the time I get it in person, it won't be so bad. =/ This sucks...
