i am currently using a fiber images cf trunk and i love the look of the cf trunk but i have tried everything to try to make this trunk sit completely flush. it sits about 1/4" high and i have tried everything possible to make it sit correctly. so i was wondering if anyone has had good fitment with any other cf products they have used on their evo's. i am not trying to start a flame war about wich company is better i just want to know of any good fittments so i can buy another trunk.

 

i have the vis cf trunk. to make it sit correctly i had to cut the two cross bars that make the trunk stay open. the downside is you have to hold the trunk open, but it looks perfect closed. justin

 

Hey what a coincidence I just installed my VIS Carbon Fiber trunk and had the same problem.

Okay so you know the locking part? Not the mechanism but the actual soft steel piece on the car. Anyways, what I did was dremel the holes on the piece that the bolts go into to elongate them allowing me to lower the piece. As for me the side that was high was the right so I tightened it accordingly so the latch is actually lower on the right then the left. I know this is hardly making any sense.. sorry but you'll get it. Also I made a small washer using balsa haha. Good luck!

 

carbon trix. quality stuff.

they're the division of Road Race Engineering.

 

i have actually dremeled out the holes also and it still wont sit flush but i have already had the holes drilled and i am now planning on going wingless so any input on companies that have had a known fitment would be great, thanks for the carbontrix input ill check them out

 

after getting the piece from carbign, i'm amazed at what people get away with and sell stuff for.

outragious.

 

hmm is the carbing front lip that bad? I've seen pics on a black evo and they looked pretty decent...

 

i will be getting my vis trunk soon ......and now that i hear all this i wish i didnt ha i dont wana have to make a any modifications to make it fit oh well

 

can anyone pm me with more exact details of what to do when installing my cf trunk

 

i can help with the install. pm me. also, empty your inbox/outbox

 

i didn't get the front lip, don't really just wanna open bash, but after posting up a fairly good answer to a few questions i asked, i bought a piece to see how it was.... well, if i want it to fit, i'm gonna have to dremel the holes a bit.

and the claim that it'd be overly expensive to make the piece out of solid carbon, (which i thought it was) is a total flop.

 

fiber images, poor cust. service, i know.. 2 diff hoods and they both suck..

 

Wait you're kind of confusing me.. so the carbing front lip isn't full carbon like the do-luck?

btw i'll post some pics tomorrow if I have time that shows the mods that need to be done. i'm def. not going to take it apart but at least i'll show you what's up.
