carbon fiber fitment

[vandol]

picked up and installed a carbon trunk yesterday and the lines

dont match at all :-x, would the carbon get messed up if i put some weight on it

and let it sit out in the sun?

[der affe]

What brand is it?

[jaywood]

What do you mean the lines don't line up? Are they crooked, or does the carbon have a "bubble" effect?

Let me guess its from Ary? No secret Eurostop/DTM-Fiberwerkz is pure shit.

You will not get it to change shape. Once it is set, that is how it will be forever. That's why having a correct mold is so important when making the part. It has to be flawless or the part will have flaws.

ill try to get photos by this weekend.

the brand is actually Extreme Dimensions.


but the trunk doesnt sit right with the seals, so it literally pops up and the trunk doesn't seal in the middle

So it has a "bowed" effect then? Let's see some pics.

haha, thats how my OEM trunk sits. :(

[AndrewBird]

Nothing is going to make that fit correctly short of permanently screwing it down in several places, and even then...

[Hey-U]

Back to the drawing board with that one.

ha damn


I wonder if it has anything to do if its from a 4 door or a vert

they all fit the same?

[jaywood]

Send the company your pictures and ask them what the deal is. Even though it was a "free" CF trunk, I'd still email them. Hopefully they haven't sold too many of those bubbled trunks lids.

I do like the weave though...that's my favorite CF weave.

[jaywood]

Do you have any pictures of the underside of the lid? Does it have bracing?
