hi everyone
Ive installed a cf vis duckbill trunk.....
fit fine...but.....theres always a but......

with both tension bars the trunk is like a catapult
no tension bars the trunk is too heavy and does not open.
one tension bar...one side of the trunk sit higher the the other side looks stupid....

any suggestion the correct the problem?

Thanks for anyone help.

 

I did one tension bar but it looks even. Hmmm? You might want to try the other tension bar, if still uneven, then order RS tension bars.

 

r there any gas strut dampeners that fit the trunk of a 9?

 

off topic, but any pics of it installed?

You're Welcome!!!

 

I've been dealing with this issue for about 4 months now. I ended up removing both torsion bars. I need to just break down and buy the Redline kit cuz right now I try to avoid opening my trunk as much as possible

 

I looked up the redline kit it requires you to rivit it into the cf hood?
& they only make them for the hood not the trunk.
So far on the site most remove both bars and use tge carpet to keep the release up inorder to open the trunk.
I wanted to go upscale.
That soulution is not what I wanted to do.
What about taking evo x trunk brackets and using them?

 

The link I posted is for the trunk not the hood. Take a closer look

 

Ok that looks nice I ordered the elite kit extra $50.00!
Thanks I'd never had seen
Both bar will come out and the kit is made with the intent to install with a cf trunk.....

 

Cool man! Make sure you post up your experience with it. I've only seen one other thread where a guy used it and he had nothing but good things to say about it. I'm hoping to pick up a kit soon my self.

 

looks like a great idea

 

If doesnt work then buy it fr om me!!!!

 

I just open mine with the key and hold it a bit so it does not slam open.. not sure why its a big deal.

 

Because I currently have not installed a lock to keep a flush look.
I'm sure the problem will be solved with the redline kit.

 

I also do not have a key hole. Furthermore, my trunk wouldn't sit right with the torsion bars installed. One side sat higher than the other.
