But OP, I don't think I've heard of a single CF trunk that fits perfectly. But I have heard the best about VIS. But it seems like a hit or a miss sometimes.

Here are some pics of the VIS Carbon Fiber Trunk I had on my car a few months ago before I sold it. It fit really well. The only problem I ever had with it was water would leak in were the 3rd brake light is and just chill on the inside portion of the trunk shell. It wasn't ever alot of water, but still annoying.

Haha I was commenting on the way you wrapped up all of the whys into one big why fest of a sentence, you dominated it.


And to get the perfect fit I had to remove the hydraulic thingies and remove 2 of the 4 bolts holding down the trunk hinges to lower them a bit more.
