///Mikucki · Sun, Dec-12-2010, 02:43:50 PM

is it possible to adjust it so the lower left gap isint as big? or is that the best you could do? in for final pics too

thats very cheap for a csl trunk. makes me think of getting one just for weight savings. any idea on weight?

fitment aside, the finishing looks like crap. i'm not impressed. I'd rather pay the $1200 and have the finish and fitment be better.

what finishing???? it obviously will be painted so how does the finishing look like crap if its NOT FINISHED? and i also stated its not completely adjusted, just bolted on to make sure it fits right

finishing doesnt mean anything after its painted. For a quick fitmen that looks pretty spot on.

I'm specifically looking at the edges of the bootlid. They look uneven, sharp and just not up to my standards. I'm extremely meticulous, so i'm usually not satisfied with any aftermarket piece.

FWIW, the VCSL bootlids don't meet my standards either

I really like the fitment so far. good luck!

yea, and the khoalty trunks are a different style, which i did not want. which is the reason i specifically said "no-handle" trunk.
