carbon fiber trunk

What the hell? I just got my cf trunk from seibon and i put it on and it sits to high...the right side of it is out and up to far......i tried messing with the hinges but it didnt help.............Does anyone know if u have to sand down the trunk somehow or something?????????? It looks really stupid right now...

try drilling out the holes on the trunk hinges so you can adjust it back and forth and side to side, then i suggest trunk pins

i mean they are the same thing as hood pins, just use it with the trunk, most carbon fiber trunks wont fit right, the pins are used to pull it down to make it sit flush

on opposite sides of the trunk on top, like where the wing would go, if you lower the latch it wont lock in properly, but i suppose you could try

I've read a few threads about this and I think you can avoid a trip to the body shop.
1. reverse the latch on the trunk, (upside down I guess)
2. Have a buddy sit inside your trunk and help you adjust from inside, someone on here did it and it worked. lol
3. Use washers and whatnot, to adjust the gaps.

Try searching. I know theres some threads about this exact problem
