Carbon Fiber Cosmetic issues under clear coat
Wondering if anyone else here have had issues with aftermarket CF trim parts showing cosmetic issues? I have carbon fiber mirror caps and rear spoiler that are both showing white cosmetic markings, and the CF caps are showing lifting in some areas. All the areas of damage are smooth to the touch.
Is this just an issue with the quality of the carbon fiber? It's odd the damage is happening under the clear coat which should be sealing everything. I got these parts for under 200 eachon ebay and have had them on for less than 3 weeks. I live in Houston where the weather is pretty hot and humid. Both sellers are offering replacements but I'm not sure it's even worth it if this is just going to happen again. |

Spoiler installed for 3 weeks, mirror caps for 2 weeks. Driven less than a thousand miles with both parts. |
