Welcome

xpandabl3 · February 23rd, 2008, 11:07 PM

thanks

Zero · February 23rd, 2008, 11:36 PM

dope ride verry nice welcome

xpandabl3 · February 24th, 2008, 01:13 AM

thanks man

Slippercream · February 24th, 2008, 05:37 AM

Nice!

Welcome, man

So how're you liking that CF trunk? If I may ask - any fitment issues? How's the finish mold on the weave? And has it resisted yellowing pretty well?

My bad... pardon the twenty-questions welcome

iLan · February 24th, 2008, 03:00 PM

Wttc!

xpandabl3 · February 24th, 2008, 03:41 PM

Thanks for the welcome

As for the trunk, so far very please for the quality and the fitment is near perfect except the little area on the left side. Also, like silversniper mentioned, the plastic panels underneath the trunk does not fit at all but shops should be able to fix it up for you.

Slippercream · February 24th, 2008, 07:04 PM

Sorry - which little area? Is it in the interior or outside?

Man... I need to take the trunklid panel off to see what it's all about under there

I wonder how complicated it is.

xpandabl3 · February 24th, 2008, 07:18 PM

I'll take some pictures later tomorrow for ya because its kinda hard to explain

Slippercream · February 24th, 2008, 07:30 PM

You rock man!

Sorry to jack the thread with the questions. I'm debating getting one for the car considering I'm about a month to three weeks away from a paint job. But all I'd really want showing the weave is the piece exactly above the back glass, and the below the factory spoiler. The rest will be painted. So if it's cosmetic around those areas to be painted I'm really not worried about it

The only true performance gain from this upgrade would be weight redux.

nice ride do you have a cf hood to and how does the cf trunk fit?

Hope these helps

Slippercream · February 25th, 2008, 10:30 AM

Ewww... that sucks! And the other side fits like a glove? Just how huge is that gap to begin with? Hopefully nothing larger than 1cm. 1/4/" is fine.

Thanks for the reference shots man. I'm going to have to make a decision today about whether or not to get the trunklid myself - you've been most helpful!

eRep!

And yes... welcome!

Panicbutton · February 25th, 2008, 06:54 PM
