we were busy working on his car yesterday so he wasn't able to take a picture of it. it looks pretty good. the weave is very clean and the edges line up with the fender spot on. gap width is almost stock-like.

it does need to be adjusted, sits too high but evenly at all areas, but mastergrade will get it fixed.

brgreen should be taking pics tomorrow of his trunk to show the quality.

i will let brgreen update on comments from mastergrade. i don't want to toss his words on account that i am not really part of this project. heh...

its just like ngo said, the left side of the trunk has a noticible lift, the right side sits just fine. when compared side by side with stock trunk fitment, this one fits just as good on the gaps. i am going back to mastergrade on tuesday to see if the lift on the left side can be fixed. (by tightening the bolt down some more?

that just looks so ****** right. i know with my new setup this is gonna look great.

still subtle because its not a full spoiler, but much more aggresive than any of the other trunks out there. NICE!!!!

who do i make the check out to?

sad that they wont have this ready for my trip to lala land. Oh well, i guess i'll just have to buy you a ticket to hawaii so you can check it in as your "luggage"

:D

btw... i think if they shave down where the bolt goes in on the left side, itll lower it enough.

third brake light wiring was in the way + it needed to be bolted down some more.
ps: for you people concerned about weight saving, this trunk weight 4 pounds. stock aluminum trunk weights 7, with mint blue wing it weights just under 10.

I'll spread the word, no problem.. I might be interested in purchasing it later on, but I'm still debating on this trunk and the autoexe trunk. They are very similar and look very good!

if you don't mind can you take a picture of the trunk from a full horizontal picture of the whole car (so you can see front bumper to rear bumper). id like to see how the finished product flows with the lines of the car. i may be interested in buying it....just have to save up the cash. Don't mark my words that i'd be buying 1, still totally undecided.
