RW Carbon build quality issues?

I orders a set of RW Carbon splitters back in May of 2019 for my M4.

By February of this year little areas started to develop what looked like bubble under the clear coat. But only on one of them. I sent them an email about the issues I was having. Along with some pictures.

The response I received told me that they were likely rock chips and that I should purchase this small bottle of clear coat from eBay to fill in the spots.

I did what they recommend but it only got worse.

As you can see the one side is having issue hope the other looks good.

I reached out to customer service again with my original email attached so they can see the history of issues with ONE of my splitters.

They said it's likely due to rock chips and offered me to purchase the one side I need at a discount.

Has anyone else had issues like this before, or do we have any carbon experts who can weigh in.

As you can see the progression of the failure while the other side looks fine.

My car is garage kept and not driven everyday.

Thanks

Parts on the front bumper need to have ppf applied to them especially aftermarket immitation parts. They are blasted by debris all the time. Looks like there isn't much you can do to salvage those.

+1...I would suggest applying PPF to all exterior CF bits.
