yeah i understand, i didnt see all the foam and what not but from what i hear it was a lot haha.

 

you guys (UPS) should just stop throwing **** around lol

 

That will never happen haha

 

hey i think i need to send this one back.

 

 

Brent I'm holding you personaly responsible for any bad experience I have with UPS. Make a difference and fix it.

 

This!!!

 

hey i am wondering if i can just get my money back since this one is damaged and i dont have the car and really dont want to hassle with another one shipped.

 

Foam only cushions the peice when it hits the inside of the box, what you need to do is keep the trunk centered in the middle of the box with lots of gap around so the edges never see anything touching them at all! Some double ply cardboard inner panels would do this and a heavier grade of cardboard box would go a long way. Look at the way any PC or printer comes packaged now a days.

 

My tips got damaged as well but not too bad though. The trunk was definitely wrapped well but I agree the box should have been packed so it didn't move around. The tips wore right through all the foam, probably from hitting the sides of the empty box as it shifted around.

 

this!! even keurig coffee makers are packaged legit. Molded styrofoam piece on top. followed by the coffee maker in the middle. followed by another piece on packaged inside better. eg:more stuff surrounding the trunk rather than nothing. not saying these weren't,it was wrapped legit but i think something should of surrounded it.
its a shame we all waited over a full year and it came down to some people having to have to ship their trunks back and everything. my trunk from the pics posted in this thread with the exception of the one TommyP got appeared to have the least damage, and it looks like im the only one who fixed it with the stuff i went with the day after i get it.

has anyone else tried the nail hardner like i used?

 

Good luck. I've been fighting that battle for months and have basically been told "tough ****, we don't feel like it". That being said...

Ugh so busy at work I haven't even been home for 2 weeks. I'll be packing it up for you guys soon

 

For those that installed their Tjin trunk, what did you use to mount the brackets?

 

this thing is a pain in the ass, i just want to sell it haha. no screws for the third brake light or the brackets.

 

my box is in perfect condition but im afraid to have them look at the corners i dont wanna be surprised to see ther broken even tho the box is fine

 

and hows the 3rd brake light working for everyone? seems like water would just pour right in.

 

my trunk came with the package of screws.
arent they for mounting the brackets? this better not give me huge problems.

 

that's why there is a seal around the 3rd brake light. As long as it's tight no water should get in.

 

Yeah I know but it doesn't sit as flush as the stock one.

 

Shoulda made it in 'merica
