I recently bought one of these and i'm having trouble trying to make it fit properly like it does not want to close like it is supposed to..it looks like something it is not letting it close all the way..it states that you must have to remove the shocks/springs for proper fitment? any help would be appreciated it thanks

Post some pictures.
It's entirely possible that it's the trunk's quality\build that doesn't let it fit properly.

i know this isnt the best pic buy i'm kind of tired of putting it and taking it out to find out what causes it not to close properly..they stated that some trunks/hatches may have springs or shocks that must be removed for proper fitment from here..dont know if that is true

what ^ said
I have a hood and it was fun getting that to fit properly but still some things are off.. this was on both my 8's. (above Luckyboii69)

it's a crap-on creations trunk, what did you expect?

WreakLoosE

oooh yea... the carbon creations or ED stuff is not nice on the fitment.. just saw a MS body kit from ED and the fitment is waaaaaaay bad has to get a load of corrections.. lots of work there..

Make sure you put the latch on the correct way. It is really easy to put it on the trunk backwards..and it will keep the trunk from closing..otherwise it is just crappy fitment

ahhh great. the latch is fine..still does not close..i went to a body shop and they want to charge me 180 for the trunk and the spoiler

monchie

Just tape it up...lol

i made it fit..i had to remove the shocks but it leaves some gaps..like on both sides there is a big gap..i wonder what would happen if it rains..water will probably go through

monchie

I don't know...maybe try to put some long rubber gaskets were the openings are, glue them up from the inside, and see what happens, if you know what i mean...

so this is how it looks.

that's crazy; did you get the right trunk? heat gun that until it fits the body properly if you put it in right

Luckyboii69

the trunk fits and closes with the shocks removed..thats the only thing i had to remove..oh i have to remove the bottom part of the MS spoiler 'cause it doesnt fit on the trunk for some reason..so i have that removed as well
