i will double check but i dont think that’s actually a blem. I think it’s a reflection. I’ll get another pic in the daytime tomorrow.

From a distance, it looked like a void empty space. I think any other color except white the CF would work. Then to add more pain, it even weighed more than the stocker.

I don't know if you can call it Rice but it was. Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. I think German cars call it Kraut.
I hear ya on all counts except for weight. This one is lighter than stock. As far as “RICE” I don’t mind the contrast and I’ve yet to look at it and notice a void. I think the dark wing blends well with the dark windows and the dark front splitter.

edit: made a few small changes.
have bought MACarbon w/o any issues. I visited their place in CA and got to meet John, he’s a stand up guy. Will be buying from MACarbon again!
