Nothing. Have to drill holes for the lights, brake light and lock.... Ugh

I can do it. But I'll be spending a day or weekend on it. Can't hack this.

making your own CF? they should come with a UV coating. If you are doing your own resin, make it a nice UV protecting resin. Otherwise I would think some nice wax.

hahah no. If it was that easy I would not be asking.

Stock trunk has welded in bolts you just take off the nut. CF trunk just has holes. ED only shipped 2 bolts and 4 sheet metal screws.

I just bought new bolts and washers. Hopefully it goes okay. The directions from ED/CC was horse ****. There is no guide for anything on these. Maybe I'll document mine.
