VOLTEX GT-Wing / Aero Thread!

Can someone please answer this question if possible?
So I picked up a used Type 1 J's wing and have had mixed responses on this...
1) The bracket was apparently replaced as it was damaged by the previous owner and replaced? The new bracket seems to be wet carbon now. Risers were also replaced. I asked a few instagram s2k members and some have said it should be dry carbon while others have said their bracket is wet carbon. I'm not sure who would be right in this situation since it's been literally 50/50 on the multiple people I have asked.
2) The wing itself is proper length, carbon weave looks fantastic and it looks exactly like the authentic one when I compared it to someone at the meet a few days ago. It's also very "hollow" when you knock on it which is a good sign (not CF reinforced).
3) The endplates also have the same weaving, 3 screws/bolts and look to be the same quality. Sticker portion looks good except for "MOTORSPORT" which looks less bronze / more yellow?
Anyways, I just wanted to get some take from fellow type 1 owners as it is bugging the crap out of me especially since I'm not a fan of non-authentic parts and I would definitely feel like I was jipped.
Can provide pictures via PM if anyone could lend a hand!
Thanks guys

Authentic Js Racing wings have a dry carbon mounting bracket. in all the years seeing and selling Voltex, J's. Ive never seen one that is wet.
Voltex produces Js and all their bases are dry carbon. It is the #1 dead giveaway between a real and rep wing. You can also take off the end plates. you should see a serial number there if it is a real wing.

Every authentic Voltex wing as far as i know has dry carbon mounting brackets. Like RussianHammer, I have never seen a wet carbon mounting bracket on an authentic one. I can be wrong tho.
this is what RussianHammer is talking about. This is from my car when I took my end plate off to polish the wing section.
