Need your help guys....

I installed my CF trunk lid and all is well except I forgot that because my OEM trunk had a wing spoiler on it, the trunk had the stronger rods. Well it's too much and it's putting an ever so slight bow on the edges of my trunk when closed.

You all know how I'm a perfectionist so your help in removing the rods is appreciated.

 

i just had a friend with me and pulled them off. watch out tho cuz there is a lot of tension on them. you got any pics of the trunk and hood on your car? also what did you do with the keyhole?

 

Pull them off huh?.......hmmm.......sounds painful....... anyone else?

My CF trunk did not come with the key hole thank goodness.... it looks clean as hell with the brake light. I just use the remote to access the trunk.

 

damn you got the new seibon trunk. ya i got a hole in my trunk from the keyhole. i used a plug to plug it and it doesnt look too bad now. it was painful when i took the rods out. post pics of the car when u get the time. i wana see the fitment on the hood and trunk

 

I'm really trying to hold off until my project is completed before posting pics but PM me your email and I'll send you some of the fitments. I was really surprised how well they fit.

I'm VERY happy.

 

which hood did u go with?

 

As far as removing the rods, check out H and A Accessories and scroll down to you find the "trunk spring remover / reinstaller." They show a price of $26.80.

FWIW!

Good luck,

Just use a damn screwdriver and bead them out of the mounts. Should take all of about 30 seconds to remove them. You don't need any special tool.

 

Thanks.........
