No issue with fit or finish on the 3pc Carbon Flash from EOS. YMMV

The 5vm front spoiler I consider to be a disposable piece. I damaged my 1st one at 2 different track events and didn't want to pay the big $$$ for a replacement. EOS has the only inexpensive replacement but has really mixed reviews, mostly bad. I emailed them to confirm they inspected these before shipping and they confirmed they do and said send it back if these an issue. I'm very happy with the finish quality. It's a much thinner material than my fiberglass piece but for my purposes that's fine. I know now to use a pool noodle at the track. My car is in storage so can't test fitment until the snow has decided it's done. I posted a video here of the finish close up.

I bought/installed their 5VM version. Very pleased with fit & finish. As was stated before, if there's an issue they will replace. good luck !

Decided yesterday it was time to get my car out of storage . I just took off my American Hydrocarbon one and installed the EOS version. I made a video trying to compare the two, never done that before and I'm not ready to post it yet (if ever). But I'm pretty darned happy for the price. I took some measurements and the only thing I came away with is the winglets on the sides are 0.5" higher on the AH version than the EOS version. I do like the one piece better, but for the savings, I have no problem with 2 pieces and after a bit of fiddling, they fit together very nicely.
