thanks. its the VIS, it fits terrible and was a **** ton of work to put it on. if you get a CF trunk, please get a shaved one with no third brake light or keyhole. it will make your life a lot easier

not one hole was marked to be drilled-pretty much eyeballed it and got it good
trunk is super high on the driver side and flush on the passenger side, no aligning is going to fix it. i know its not going to fit perfect but damn
- Keyhole i dont care about and wanted to plug it but yes ill agree was to small.
- Mine fit perfect no issues
- Holes were clearly visable where they needed to be drilled as they dimpled from the mold. Not sure how yours was any different.
- Mine was super high till i aligned it. Simply turn the bolt on the hinge all the way in then lossen the 2 bolts that bolt to the car and slowly push the hinge down. retighten. Completely flush.

Blazin saw mine, and after removing the hood prop on my hood it fits perfect now.

Took me about 20 minutes to put mine on and align em like they are aligned.

Don't expect a perfect fit.

Personally I wouldn't run any VIS or Xcellerated Concepts stough...that's just me though

Does it fit everywhere else good?

Serious as **** with what I am about to say.

Let the car sit in the sun with the hood getting really warm...and flexible, and CAREFULLY press/bend it to sit flush

As long as you have the bolts tight as all hell and are CAREFUL you won't break anything.

Take a pic of where it's not fitting good and I/others will try to help you...I suggest not here though

I have the same issue with my VIS Invader2 hood. Up by the windshield and down by the nose is flush, but it kinda bows up in the middle...I've let it warm in the sun and pushed it down, but it always comes back up eventually.

It's just something you'll have to live with...every now and then I just push it back down when I see the gap is getting too big again.
