im sure this has been answered before, but im at work and dont always have time to look...

i was wondering about the best quality / best fit of a carbon fiber trunk and where i should buy it? i've heard there are a lot of fitment issues, and i dont want gaps or a leaking trunk (its always sunny hear, but washing my car...)

i probably want an OEM style hood, but may think about scoops/vents. i live in Southern California and will probably have to pay a boat load for shipping, but thats to be expected. any help would be greatly appreciated

 

It will always have a fitment problem mine was good a little high on driver side but not much. But leaking I never had that problem I had vis racing

 

i have VIS. it doesn't fit perfect and it leaks from the reverse lights. note: with VIS you have to drill your own holes and the trunk has to be modded for everything to fit

 

pm'd

 

How did you fix your vis? mine is still fucked up on the driver side

 

let me see a pic of how it fits. there are only a couple things you can do to make it fit/align

 

what do you mean you have to drill everything? i don't need a spoiler, but i'd imagine everything should be set to transfer lights, latch, key, etc. why would i have to drill all of that?

 

because it doesn't come with those holes opened. most people say that the trunks were marked with the holes to drill, mine didn't so i had to eyeball everything.

-reverse light mounting holes need to be drilled
-reverse light center hole needs to be opened up with a dremel
-trunk lock opening needs to be opened up with a dremel
-drill holes for third brake light
-dremel out the opening for the third brake light a little
-locking mechanism holes need to be drilled

 

explain these things, i shall get picture at some point

 

Yea I had to cut out a Lil bit on my trunk fir the third brake light and key hole but nothin serious.

 

read the PM.kinda things i already knew, some i didn't......


i kinda want it cause it will look good with my gray car, plus i wanted to try and go wingless, and this was a way i could do it without plugging holes (no one really has a slate metallic car to trade things off of)

 

there is the one "bumpstop" that you can adjust which is that little piece that touches the trunk mount to. and then you can loosen the actual bracket from the car(2 bolts holding the trunk hinge to the car), there is a lot of play in that and room for adjustability

 

I haven't seen a CF trunk that fits properly yet. This is why I am painting a wingless steel lid with no holes starting tomorrow.

 

My trunk seems to fit great. I dont know if it leaks though. I never drive the car in the rain.
I have the VIS.
