Default EOS Splitter

Has anyone had quality issues with the EOS front splitter? I ordered mine a few months ago & it has sat in the box until I mounted it 2 weeks ago. I have put about 100 miles on the car in total since then & the clear coat on the splitter is bubbling & peeling off. The original splitter I had on the car looked like this after 5 years & 19,000 miles, not 2 weeks & 100 miles. Pretty disappointed with it, but wanted to see if the issue I am having is a random occurrence or happens pretty consistently. Thanks.

EOS is known to have quality control issues, their products are basically a crap shoot, some people get great product, some it is a disaster.

That’s a bummer. Where would you recommend purchasing a splitter from? I don’t want to spend $800-$1000 on a splitter that I know will get hit with rocks, debris, etc. - but I also want to have a quality product. So if $800-$1000 is the only option, it is what it is.

Mine was fine for months until I hit an armadillo. It was prone to chipping easier, but I drive the car too often and am too concerned with it being damaged to invest in anything more expensive. The side skirts look brand new still even after a year.

ACS makes a great product but is about double the price of EOS.

You could also take them off and have a shop redo them for you? EOS has a good base underneath and a good body shop will be able to correct the flaws/paint and make them good to go again. The upside to ACS is they will come ready to mount and their customer service is excellent.

ACS always a bit overpriced in my opinion, but probably best option

I got some EOS stage 2 spoiler parts and was disappointed that they don't use the side bolts on the wing, just the 4 bolts on the back. Quality wise, there are some minor imperfections in the paint quality and some small runs.

In retrospect, I would get ACS or C7 Carbon pieces as I've seen those turn out consistently good.
