AutoExe FBR Rear Trunk Lid

Does anyone have this trunk/lid/rear spoiler and can take better pic's than these:

Click ME

OR...does anyone know a website with better pic's?

This is basically exactly how I would like the tail on the RX8 to look straight from Mazda...while pricy I think it looks really nice.

Dang...but thanks.

Can someone confirm what I think I'm seeing in these pictures. Is their trunk/lid more aggressive. What I mean is...it curls up a bit...like a built in tail.

Their choice of color and angle of the picture does not allow me to see the detail I'm trying to see.

^thanks....small, but it helps me see more detail.

I know it's a bit costly for just a trunk...but it's EXACTLY what I want my tail to look like.

That pic of the black 8 is not AutoExe, but AutoBahn... the full kit, bumper, exhaust and trunk lid (it has the integrated spoiler as well though)

Yup, that's autoexe trunk. Is fiberglass strong enough for a trunk? I've always wondered that...

I would think so, anyway...I don't let people put stuff on my trunk anyway. I doubt it's weak...and probably lighter to boot.

Hello All;

I got rear ended couple on my 2007 RX-8 couple of mouths ago. The mechanic did a good job fixing the car and painting. Mechanic replace the trunk and put a new trunk weatherstrip. However, the trunk lid doesn’t close smoothly. I have to slam the trunk lid to close/latch it. I was told by the mechanic that this due to the new weatherstrip, which is very hard. Indeed, I see that new weatherstrip is much harder that the old one. This is an OEM weatherstrip, so I know that he used original parts. I went back several times to the mechanic for adjustments, he tried multiple alternatives, but still not as smooth as it used to be. He told that the weatherstrip rubber will eventually soften.

Has anybody seen this problem before? Is there ay way to soften the weatherstrip, or a soften replacement for RX-8? Moreover, can anybody explain how to adjust the trunk lid hinges myself. I would want to do the adjustment myself rather than asking the mechanic to do it.
