No skin in this game, but just to provide my experience. I've dealt with Mike before with an issue of incorrect parts in a direct ship order, called him up and it was dealt with promptly and professionally.

Now to this lip. Even being a weaker material than CF, 70mph wind would not do that to FRP. And keep in mind that this lip is installed in parallel to the direction of the air flow which makes the location of this shear even more unlikely. There is pressure pushing the lip down applying stress to the connection points to the bumper, but the location of that tear just don't make sense.

There's only two possibility here.
Either there was structural damage done before or during installation.
Or the damage was caused externally after being on the road.

Since the claim was nothing impacted the lip during that drive, I'll say it was damaged before the drive. At what point was it damaged? Only the people involved knows but this structural damage was likely already visible externally either before or after installation.

Point is there must be preexisting damage to this lip for it to result in this from just a short drive.
