I haven't had to do much maintanence since I bought it. There's not that much CF showing actually. It's only where the Lexus badge is and the top of the apex of the spoiler...and they look just fine still. No yellowing.

Here are my pics. Authentic CF WALD spoiler. Molded and shaved at the sides, so no raised quarters necessary here. I just noticed I didn't take pictures of the CF areas...so I'll post some later.

I'm planning on getting a rep one so I went to the shop and asked if they could mold it.
They said that they wouldn't recommend it due to the material being weak to vibrations and easy to crack.
My question is, have any of you had any problems with this?
Which material is stronger? Epoxy or fiberglass?
Also, what does it mean to raise your quarters?

I used duraglass which holds up better than anything when it comes to molding to metal and my trunk vibrates for sure I have a alpine type x 12 in the trunk. Check the first page my original post will show u the differences between raised quarters and not raised. When i first molded mine I didn't raise the quarters. Also click on my profile you can check my two previous threads and this link fotki.com/remydee and you can see the process of molding the spoiler then when i was raising the quarters.
