Yeah that's been done already. Everything is new for the hatch to open. It's the actually hatch popping before you lift it would not lift all the way...now it's gotten worst to where it's back to where I was before (wouldn't even unlatch unless I lift it and press button at same time).

I bottomed the sacrificial plastic lip on the bottom under the painted section of the bumper.....thats what its there for.....to make a noise and let ya know you are bottoming.......plus i dont care.....thats my 2nd front bumper, 2nd set of side skirts, and 2nd rear bumper......

You know you are selling me your front bumper right??? Whenever you get a body kit....you and AllstarE4....


No but for real, measure your old ones.....and subtract the difference to the new ones.....add one penny max and try it out.......the peeps that dent their hatch area only dent it cause they put 4 pennys per side..........measure the thickness and try one at a time.......i bet one is all you need.


leave now.......do this and come back and report OCD less findings....

^ yeah, its fairly clean for autoX and it also has a raised section where the spectators watch from, so the view of the entire course is great for spectating.....


IF you look close you can see the autoX tracks still in the pavement:
