The trunk is not bolted in. I didn't have time to do all and my prototype guys are busy working on a black series widebody. So I had to do it myself, with a sprained right hand.. so I probably didn't align it right.
why tape? is it to tape down more g forces?

Honestly, I am not very comfortable sending even the G5 trunk out. There is going to be quite a bit of work required to make everything fit properly. Including cutting a space for the trunk latch. If you are okay with the extra work I will send it out. Just let me know.

thats tjin is on a base balt too. doesnt look like an SS. i believe when its on an actual SS or a cobalt with a non base rear bumper it'll look reeeeal nice. IMO i think the G5 trunk looks funny, but thats because i dont really care for the g5 trunk on a cobalt craze. shaving the reverse light are pointless imo. just somethign to do to try to stand out. i think it'll look sex with actual reverse lights

Which means the car he used wasn't owned by someone that bought a Tjin trunk and he didn't want to scuff up the trunk by bolting it on.

The latch has to be cut out. It's not hard work, but not every one here is accustomed to using a dremel or another cutting tool.

Please don't be too sarcastic here, since some people may think you're speaking the truth.

Will that be the case with the Cobalt one as well once it's done?

We've noted all the things that need to be fixed. So the Cobalt trunk won't be as difficult to install.
