Bought this from carbon by design, and its too small..? maybe im retarded but it leaves about a 1/4in. gap on all sides between it and the trunk, not just a seem like the stock piece. i didnt bother to see if i can bump out the lock some but the spot where you have to drill out for the trunklock sits about a half inch farther out then stock and makes the lock look pretty bad like it was pushed into the trunk.

I know i'm not the first one to get this and i did i get a bad one? i tried calling but apparently they're closed today.

 

i think ur suppost to put it over the stock piece, instead of replacing it. that what i read in the forums


I bought one of these too, and im waiting till spring to install it. I didnt get any instructions with it tho.

so i need some instructions or tips on how to install it

 

i'll try that in a few hours when it warms up a tiny bit and let you know. at least it wasn't to hard for me to take the stock piece off and put it back on...

EDIT: tried it, and it fits alot better, but the top doesnt line up. its like the pice they sold me has a little curve down because the corners line up but it leaves a gap towards the middle.

 

this is sp0rk 's ralliart, u can see the yellow around the cf frame, so im guessing it goes over the stock

 

yeah and i can see is is a little too small also....guess i'll stick it on and see how it looks.

 

take a picture of it, when ur done

 

here we go.

 

looks a bit off to the right just like Spork's, Probably not much you could do about it

 

guess not, it would be nice if it actually fit right though...

 

my car is black, im guessing its goin to blend in better around the trim than other colors.

 

Looks good, especially with those tails.

 

how much was that?

 

Thanks for the comments. it was 120 plus shipping. www.carbonbydesign.com

 

You should send them a picture and the feedback about fitament, they could use it to improve the product in the future.

 

Ralliart329,

So you slapped it on on top of your stock one? Or just... replaced it?

Thanks!
