Guest Ricter Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I've heard of quality issues with MSA's fiberglass BRE spoilers, has anyone here seen the carbon fiber version they offer now? What's the quality/fitment like. I assume being carbon fiber, it should be an out of the box, fitted part. but that could be assuming alot on my part. Anyone care to comment?

johnc Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I assume being carbon fiber, it should be an out of the box, fitted part. but that could be assuming alot on my part. That's assuming a lot for ANY compsite part regardless of the materials used. At the price point that 99.9% of all Z body parts are sold (fiberglass or carbon fiber) you're looking at hand or chooper gun laid up parts that are (in the best case) bagged when curing in the mold. Sometimes a little heat is added. When the parts come out of the mold they will tend to flatten out, some parts more then others and it can be minimized through layup pattern, foam cores, and resin selection. But, all non-autoclaved composite parts will change shape slightly when removed from the mold. Then there's the vehicle the part is being installed on...

2126 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Got to agree with John! I always say....if you plan to build a modified car, be prepared to modify! Shoot, even the best of parts sometimes need a little massaging to fit correctly and look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
