      I guess if that's how you interpret it, but those aren't my words. Car parts (among other things) have been outsourced to low wage countries for years where manual labor is necessary for their manufacture; that's a fact. One problem is, those countries are risky for investment; they may just nationalize your factory (Venezuela w/GM, etc.). Another problem, worker training/turnover; I see it in Mexico constantly. So my point was there are many reasons why parts quality has tanked--and yes, part of that is low wage immigrant workers--in many countries. Hell, low wage "American" workers have issues too. Has nothing to do with what you claim that "I want big government hands..." in it. Sheesh.

            that is minor and as mentioned won't be noticeable once painted and installed. Mine has the same miss match weave on the top right.

            My OE roof also has 1 small area that is not perfect. Early days of Carbon Fiber.

              Has anyone examined oe diffusers over the years?

              I never inspected the ones I had and sold when the csl was still in production. I'm curious if these issues were consistently present throughout the years or if it is just now people are putting these under a microscope due to exorbitant pricing and expecting perfection.

                  This seems like the most logical explanation.


                  Someone posted real CSL cars for sale the other day and their diffusers didn't line up for shit.
