speed was off of my gps. could have gone faster but backed out of it. this was on a unrestricted portion of the autobahn. so it was legal.

That is sweet! I don't think I will ever be able to push the car to that kind of limit in the US. Only possible way would be to find a nice race track or a long empty road with nobody around. Getting in trouble with the law is not my forte. They will never let us have anything like the autobahn here since majority of of the people on the road are more hazardous than Mr. Magoo.

I am with martz1991. Not feeling the CF fenders either they would look better if they were painted to match the car IMO. Wheels look good though.

They'd look a lot better painted I think. Carbon side skirts and front and rear lips look sick on our cars.

Only took me an hour to help cobalt523 put my old one on. Really not that hard. Unscrew everything from old trunk, unscrew trunk, screw parts on new cf trunk, screw cf trunk on and then screw with the fitment

^^^ true story, we should have made a how too lol hey you remember when i pointed at those two screws and asked what they were? and you said the might be to adjust the trunk. you were right, they allow the trunk to go lower

you have to cut and drill all the holes...I was more curious about the lock/latch hold and mount. If it was plug n play I wouldn't be posting

So far the hard part was pulling the carpet plastic pins out..f those are hard.
