Trunk Pins

Hey, I just installed a new Carbon Fiber Trunk and I dont like the way it latches. I am thinking about installing Trunk Pins on the top to secure it, but Im not sure where to get it or how to install them! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Its the one Evo Ippo sells! Its a great tunk and extremely light, I just dont trust the latches on Carbon trunks as my friend had 2 Seibons break. I would rather just use the pins to hold it on.

Your friend's trunk broke because...Seibon...'Nuff said...
CF tunks re-use OEM latches, so I don't see how you can't trust it. If you have not done so, remove the 2 torsion bars as that could cause the trunk to warp.
Other than that, I don't think you need pins...I don't even know if they make pins for the trunk...There is no physical way to mount it w/o further modifications to the trunk.
