do-luck cf trunk questions
Hi Everyone
I just got a brand new cf trunk.....
I was hoping for some install advise.
Any info would be helpful. Im not looking for the obivious....
More along the lines of keep the tenshion bars? remove them both? or replace them with the rs bar, since there will NOT be a wing. Im worried that with the lightness of the cf trunk will the two bars might snap the trunk or create stress cracks, or break it in way?
How to drill a hole into te trunk for the trunk lock? Do I want a trunk lock?
thanks for any help
cheers

I would recommend removing the tensioner unless you desire to use it as a weapon for protection. If you were ever in a battle you could place small bombs on the top of your new trunk, pull the level, and catapult those bombs 100yds. into enemy territory

I have the Carbon VIS trunk on my car and am very happy with it. It is just over a year old and looks just as good today as the day I got it.

The advise is just what i needed
What about the lock?
Also what about a gas strut to open it slowly?
I would like the strut for both hood and trunk
What do you think?
