Do you have pictures from a top side view? I'm trying to see how the trunk fits at the seams. Also, do you have pictures from the inside? Thanks.

heres some older shots. Now that i remember, it actually fit 100% amazing, it was when i put the rubber weather strip on the chassis only then did it stick up in the right rear corner like i mentioned. Basically, im going to use those stealthy hood pins in the rear under the wing. When i push down with minimal effort, it fits as it should, aka perfect!


has a decent gap between the chassis, but i think i can pull it forward a hair more.

It sits a little more narrow than the chassis. I will go to the shop tomorrow and snap some good pics.

Thanks Slideways, fitment looks pretty good. Did you notice any issues or have to modify for proper fitment?

it actually fit really good right out of the box,

the only problem i have is the hatch struts that hold the hood up are too strong and make the sides pop up a bit...so i just have them disconnected until i think of a solution for that

revival!
Any thoughts on why my body shop is telling me that my FAL window wont fit on my seibon CF trunk lid? They are telling me that the window is about a half in. too big around. I'm going to go take a look at it myself later today but figured I'd check w you guys in the mean time. I need to make sure they're not trying to use the molding that FAL says must be left unused when using their window.

The FAL fits perfect. It's been mounted with and without the moulding and still fits fine.
