Yep, its pretty sweet, now when I press the key fob to pop the latch the whole trunk flies open

I was hesitant at first, but when this cf project is finsihed it should look great and unique.

OMG yeah, this thing is has the weight of paper and the stock hood with the nismo spoiler was a rock. this thing is so light compared to my other turnk its unbelievable to me. There are some very minor gaps that you wont notice unles si point them out, and even then they aren't bad, but thats what you get with some aftermarket parts

Damn, that fitment sucks.

You really need the whole treatment to pull that look off, e.g.. carbon the whole thing.

LOL. It will look good when it's done james Find a body shop to paint that small portion of your rear bumper black, e.g. so that that line/poor fitment is less obvious.

Don't over do it with the cf though, just in the "two tone" fashion.

Actually the latch is not closing 100% so I am going to look into it more later, just wanted to get the trunk on. I also didn't put the covers back on inside because I need to modify some things so I can ground the rear defroster cord.

When are we gonna grab dinner I know you're home every night
