Carking rear spoiler suffering from hives- a sad day...

330xiboo2 · 07-02-2007, 01:14 AM

I installed my carking rear and front spoiler last weekend. Usually my car sits in the garage at home and in a carport at work. Today I left the car outside and 6 hours later I saw something that made me feel itchy...

The front splitters are fine but the rear spoiler has bubbled. I have Pm'ed Carking and all I want is a refund...

Hope you guys didnt have this problem...

magmd · 07-02-2007, 01:17 AM

Ouch....that does not look good.

esbezee92 · 07-02-2007, 01:39 AM

other than the "hives" it looks really good, why dont you just ask them to repaint?

Ray · 07-02-2007, 01:43 AM

Wow! I hope they take care of this for you.

SES_D · 07-02-2007, 01:44 AM

whoa, that's rare! Brad's products are usually top of the line. You probably already know what good service he has so it should be no problem for a refund or exchange.

but wow, that's ugly!

FrankoQ · 07-02-2007, 07:25 AM

Hope they can fix it for you.
Nice rims.

e93 · 07-02-2007, 07:37 AM

Those bubbles are moisture related. Happens when the primer isn't dry when the topcoat is applied or when applying paint in very humid conditions. Moisture gets trapped underneath the paint. The only remedy is to remove all the affected paint and start again.

tjnptel1 · 07-02-2007, 09:12 AM

eww... that makes me itchy.

hope you get it fixed soon.

ksfrogman · 07-02-2007, 09:22 AM

Hope you didn't Betalink that down. If so, remove the spoiler asap.

Or razor. But be very careful.

Eh, this makes me need to look closely at all vendors since i'll be buying a spoiler soon.

oneshare325 · 07-02-2007, 12:12 PM

I have the same spoiler,

, I have two little bubbles, and I also betalink"ed" mine down too...crap..I hope this dosn't happen to mine!

Bimmer335i07 · 07-02-2007, 12:40 PM

Wow, I'm glad I cancelled my order and ordered the BMW OEM CF spoiler.

ironic · 07-02-2007, 01:31 PM

that's fucking scarey shit right there haha

ward · 07-02-2007, 01:34 PM

is that thing way cheaper than the factory piece?

and did it arrive painted?

ejazbmw · 07-02-2007, 01:50 PM

sometimes it just worth paying a little extra for oem stuff......

Johnny Lin · 07-02-2007, 02:09 PM

Sorry to see, hope they will switch out for you. GL

I have carking's ACS rep roof spoiler since last summer and its holding up well, their quality, in general, is up to par. I'm sure he'll take care of you. Keep us updated.

BigO1120 · 07-02-2007, 02:47 PM

Are there any pics?

Autobot · 07-02-2007, 04:35 PM

I was just looking into their roof spoiler since mine blew off yesterday and I have his front ACS rep lip, that looks amazing

330xiboo2 · 07-02-2007, 09:03 PM
