Dang, that sucks audisession- but you may have saved a number of us pre-face lift D4 owners from making the same mistake so for that, I thank you!

I have it on mine without issue but we did use a heat but to soften it up a tad and get it pressed into space. Mines been on 4 months now and cars been to over 160 a few times and had 10+ trips in the auto car wash.

I think you mentioned that there's a gap at the middle - I had that too. When I pressed down to get that middle gap closed, that's when the edges curled up.
If you read the Tesla and BMW forums, carbon fiber spoilers have a notoriously poor fitment issue because they're so rigid and unforgiving - and even small variances in manufacturing quality can create these gaps.

I am a bit OCD so even 2mm / 3mm gaps would drive me nuts - one of those things that maybe one doesn't notice from a few feet away, but I'd know it and see it all the time.

btw, I frankly think the CF spoiler may look good on a white or silver car, but on my black car it didn't look that great in my opinion even if magically the fit was perfect.

If I were going to get one, I'd have it painted black; I don't care for the CF look and it'll match the black accents that I'll eventually put on it.

Yup and a little heat took care of it.

Are you saying you were able to bend the spoiler with heat? If so it is not real carbon fiber - it’s a plastic wrapped with vinyl.

if it’s real carbon fiber a heat gun cannot bend the spoiler.

Its real carbon but its carbon bonded to a fiberglass mounting pad. Have used this method many times on Corvette body kits. You dont get much movement and the part cant be old but if its under 5-6 months old the epoxy in the carbon is still fresh enough to warm up and flex a tad. Mind you its only a MM or so but sometimes thats all you need.

See mine sits flush still
