So who wants to sell me their damaged one? Lol

 

what are going to do with what you have now? haha

 

Mine keeps cracking second time I'm repairing it

 

damn that sucks

 

damn! outa the others i have seen mine isnt as bad.
guys try the nail hardner. mine looked like that as you see in the pic. and it darkened right up

 

Yeah I'd rather try to fix it then go through the hassle of shipping it back and the chance of another one getting damaged

 

yeah if NOTHING IS CRACKED on the members who posted pics of the end of the blade than id get the nail hardner and paint it on. nothing to loose mine looked the same as all of them did. and it darkend right up and blended. $3.77 to do that

 

That box in that one pic looks kinda flimsy. If I shipped a dozen eggs in a paper bag with a fragile sticker and they show up at the customer's door broken should I complain that UPS messed up ?

 

 

My box was not even that messed up but both ends of the blade were poked threw the box.

 

damn. even the lady at UPS was saying how packing peanuts should of been dumpped in the box.

but i simply put nail hardner on the corner and its good to go.

have any of you other guys tried it atleast..?

 

I might be able to fix one end of my trunk with that but the other end is crushed pretty bad

 

damnn i thought i was the only one.
there are still like 20 others who havent posted.

 

So, I got curious. I had to cut through 4 layers of bubbles plastic, tape, and two kinds of foam. No damage to the tips at all.

 

so did anyone get one that was flawless?

according to tommy mine only has 2 tiny scratches

 

I didn't cut off all the foam, just uncovered the two tips, but those were perfect. When I get it over the the shop next weekend to mount the thing I'll uncover the rest of it.

 

Here's some more pics

 

from the pictures my friend sent me mine is flawless (knock on wood) my box was dented or anything at all and didnt say nething bout the corners

 

Mine should be good. I picked it up from ED. It's still in the wrapper, but there's no wear on the packing, I can't imagine there's any damage.

 

Khurram will take care of you! I went through 2 G5 trunks having damage. Every time he had a new one sent out. The third one is flawless! Have a little faith! lol

 

Ok, time for me to put my Tjin story out there, the good, the bad, the ugly.

The good, trunk arrived on indicated date! Packaging was very well done although the box took what looked like a beating, the product was almost damage free!

The bad, one of the corners was slightly scrapped, I am just going to do the nail harder trick on it and call it a day though.


The ugly, I can not get this trunk to line up with rear quarter panels no matter what I adjust! I did get the trunk to latch, so it is on the car, but there is no way to get the gaps spaced evenly or get the deck lid to be level on either side of the car. Pictures for better understanding are below.





So I am stuck with a dilemma, the corners look like they are what is interfering, see below.



It seems that if I shaved some material from under the corner it would shut further and maybe line up better, but I am not about to ruin a 600 dollar trunk!

Just so I am clear, I am not hatting, just wanted to share my experience with the group. I plan on getting in contact with ED to see what we can do to to resolve the issue.

 

its called bodywork not bodyfun take it to a local bodyshop if you want and have them see what they can do

my hood and my trunk i installed myself but my oem cf ss lip and hood latches i took to a bodyshop and theres no shame in it lol

 

you cant bodywork a cf trunk..clear yes..if it doesnt fit it doesnt fit..you cant shave and add filler.. you may be able to heat and tweek but ..thats it

 

That's just an alignment issue. The trunk mounting needs to be brought back slightly towards the back of the car and the trunk latch needs to be loosened and pushed down.

 

hope i dont have this problem.
but the guy who is installing mine works at a body shop so hopefully he knows what he is doing
