Warped Fiberglass wing?
Warped Fiberglass wing?
So I bought a FD Racing Beat type II spoiler from a member here a few months ago, and he had it in the original box, never installed for a while. It's in good condition, no cracks/etc and Ive been saving up for a full repaint before installing it. Well recently I set it down on a table and found that one of the corners of the wing doesn't sit flat with the rest. It's about 3/4's of an inch above the table surface, so the wing sits on only 3 corners at a time if that makes any sense.
This is fiberglass, but is this sort of thing normal and can it be easily fixed by a bodyshop? Or do I have a useless wing now? Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks.

Welcome to the world of aftermarket parts. Nothing fits. EVER. without modification that is.
Its easily fixable though. And perhaps its not as far off as you think - I'd hold on the car as opposed to a table...................it may be worse though too

I mean I CAN sort of bend the corner down some, but I didn't want to crack anything without knowing how much flex is allowed. I just have no experience with things like this so thanks for the input. I think it'll be alright.
