Damn it!!! When are the vendors getting this!!! Marcus' site doesnt have it listed yet
He has them. Just have to call him as his site isn't updated yet! (949-295-1668)

By the way, I got some of our spoilers back from the paint shop for those that wanted to pay a bit more for a quality job.



Reflection.


This does take 3-5 days for turn around time, but they do an absolutely fabulous job. The paint looks like glass, is a very, very close match even without a car there. Pricing is $125.

Yeah i think it flows so smooth with the trunk lip spoiler. Perfect flow from roof to trunk... very smooth.

For those of you who installed the spoiler, how much of a gap is there between the roof and the spoiler? Also does your spoiler ends sit right against the window or is there still a small lift due to not being concave enough? I'll try to get pictures soon to explain it in detail.

Thanks.

So I put mine on today and it looked great but it doesn't go with the wing spoiler at all. It doesn't flow. So I picked up a new trunk lid with a lip spoiler today and I'll be putting it on tomorrow and should have some pics on friday.

^^ So jealous yours is already set to go on.

I actually got mine a couple weeks ago but just recently had a chance to take a good look at it on and off the car. Admittedly, I did throw it on the car as soon as I got it but it was dark. Has anybody else had issues with fitment beyond the overall curvature that was discussed previously in this thread?

What I've noticed on mine is that the side(s), specifically the passenger side, of the spoiler does not follow the edge of the rear window very well and exposes part of the glass near the roof line. It also doesn't seem to follow the roof line as well as what I've seen from the pictures people have posted in this thread. Mine also has the lifting issue on one side when the opposite side is held in place. I've spoken to Mike about it and we're in the process of working it out (I still need to get pics for you Mike if you're reading this - finding time to work on the car has been brutal lately).

As Mike has mentioned, these are hand-made so some irregularities are understandable. Mike has been extremely cooperative as usual which is why I never hesitate dealing with him for parts. Just wanted to see if anybody else has had similar issues. This part looks so good on these cars it's killing me not to be able to just throw it on.

I had the same problem, but I did not notice the problem till it was painted, talked to Mke, and explain the situation to him"right away he offer to send one" the new one should be here this weekend hopefully, mailed him the old one back, even though I paid 100 bucks for getting painted locally, it wasnt that great, so I asked Mike to, which cost me extra 125.
I know I paid extra.

I had the exact same problem and same scenario lol. I even test fitted prior to painting after heating/flexing the piece to make it fit and it seemed fine. Once after painting and installing the fitment was off and I talked to Mike and he was willing to take the spoiler back and send a new one but I refused since I already paid to have the spoiler painted locally.

so should i try heating it up before it gets painted or after? or the tape is strong enough to bring the curvature down?

^^tape will not keep the curvature down. Make sure the shape is right before installing...otherwise you may have to use an epoxy.

Mike, I contacted Marcus at HeelToe about getting one of these ATLP Aeros pre painted and he said:

"The wings are in production now and we can get these going in about 2-3 weeks. I am not offering paint on them though. For the time being I expect this job is best handled locally".

My question to you is are you guys only offering the painted option to the original 50 people on the sign up list? If so, are there any plans to possibly offer the painted option in the future?

It was only the initial batch as we were able to do them all together for the most part. When doing it one by one, the shop charges a lot more in which case it may be better to do it locally especially so that they can match the paint perfectly.
