carbon fiber hood problem, or trunk??? but either way it will fly open real quick real lite nothings gunna be harmed

sorry trunk duh. yeah the keyhold didnt align and the trunk flies open when i use the release.. i took the tension bars off and then the trunk wouldnt align to close. i had the worst time putting the bars back on. i had to use super strength. i doubt most people could do it without certain tools.. taking the tension bars off is no longer an option.

madlion

so if i pop my trunk after my lights have been on it flys open so fast it destroys the license plate light bulbs.

Home Depot more than likely has gas struts for doors but you can probaly think of a way how to put it on your trunk. GL

Put your hand on top of it and guide it up slowly so it does not fly up. Wouldn't that be an easy fix?

jarrodholley

if he's using the release then he would have to pull the release button and run to the trunk and hold it down

So whats faster now? Your car because you just saved 11lbs, or your trunk lid? haha

a hell of a lot more then 11 lbs.. id say close to 25+ the old trunk weighed so much.. id say the old trunk was 65 -70 lbs and this is prolly 25-30

madlion

carbon fiber = space ship **** not rice. the us space ship has carbon fiber on it.. eat a fat one.

Good ol' Screwtape

wow. i dunno about that... but i could be wrong.
Anyway, you can add a weight (like 5lbs. or 10lbs., since you say you saved about 25lbs with the conversion) somewhere on the trunk, like behind the license plate might be most efficient.

i had that same problem with my STOCK trunk on my EJ1, btw. All i did was put my OEM spoiler back on. fixed.

Anything can be made rice with the proper touch. All they're saying is you found a way.

Yeah but is it purely carbon fiber or is it just fiber glass with carbon fiber laid on top just for look$.

I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could figure out some kind of solution.

madlion

less weight runs great

madlion

pure carbon fiber biatch.. a lot lighter then the vis hood. this is cwest trunk.. i already have possible solutions. i just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem.. spoilers = ugly that **** is not going back on my car.. i guess ill attach a strut somehow.

madlion

this is made in american carbon fiber.. barely any fiberglass if any.. you can actually see threw the carbon. rice is your mamas exhaust quit making derogatory comments. rice is your tv.. infact honda is rice so stfu and leave

monicle

make strap for it. then after you pop the trunk reach in and unhook the strap.
