CF Trunk help - do they leak?

Now that im almost finished with the motor im thinking ahead of what id like to do exterior wise, and a cf trunk is on my list after seeing the AMS EVO. - machine by the way - and I just wanted to know how the fitment was on them. I know nothing ever fits like stock, but I wanted to know what people had to say whove had experience with them. Alot of tweaking to do or do they fit well etc..... also thinking about mounting the stock highrise on there such as PLAYSWITCARS did. And thoughts on that as well? Thanks

I have the Xcellerated Concepts completely shaved trunk and it sits a lil high on the drivers side just like everyone else who has this trunk but I have almost fixed it. But even with it sitting high it does not leak one bit.

Heres some pics before I even did some adjusting to the driver's side:




If you do end up getting it I can give you a few tips on fixing the driver's side problem, Im pretty sure Im the only one to take the route I went with. BTW this is the same trunk playswitcars had.

Yeah Im thinking the mold is bad but mine is almost flush too but its still not good enough for me I actually dremeled the holes on the bracket on the drivers side so that the bracket would sit lower on the bolts.

There arent many people who have trunks, so you may not find alot of people to help you. But from what ive seen in pics the other trunks fits just about the same as the XC trunk. It might fit a lil better but I dont have first hand experience.
