ChargeSpeed carbon fiber trunk.

Post by **BomexS13** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:11 am

Today I woke up early to drive 2hrs to go get my trunk at VersusMotorsports. I wasn't familiar with the area so I missed the shop, went around then ran over a couple of big potholes

Anyway, I got my trunk and wasn't really impressed with the quality unlike their headlight covers which fits perfect and has a pretty good clear coating on. I think VIS would've done a better job. The clear/gel coat is so thin an there are alot of white spots like over spray or something. I'm not sure about the fitment, I'll install it tomorrow. Will post pics in a little bit i just got back, its so freaking hot and I dont have airconditioning

Take some pics of it before doing any touch up work. Im curious to see how it looks.

This guy I know through the internet, has one from importfan

I dont think I ever asked him about the quality of it though.

that was actually my first choice, but I already have the charge speed headlight covers might as well go all out. I'll Take pics later.

pics should work since its "file attachment"

Post by **Neejay** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 6:01 am

Everytime I click it, it says "File attachments can only be linked from the message board server; Outside linking is not allowed."

Bug perhaps?

Nice, everytime you post pics of your car, it keeps getting sexier and sexier. Please stop making me jealous of you S13 owners. ;p

Wow, the clearcoat looks really thin and almost matted. If I was to pay that much for something like that, I would expect better for sure. Maybe a good buffing would bring up the shine a bit?

Post by **Neejay** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 7:56 am

Damnit, why am I the only one who cant see the pics?

Post by **SHIEF** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 8:50 am

Doesn't seem like it fits all that great either. Looks like in the pics that it doesn't go all the way out towards your tailights, and a decent sized gap on the passenger side. Maybe it's the pics, but that's what it looks like. Oh well, your car is very nice no matter

I can't see them either and it makes me very angry....lol... I too would like to see how ****ty of a job they did on the trunk.

Probably because only 1 hinge is installed. THe screw got stripped on my stock trunk so I cant take the other one off. We'll see when the glass is on, I'll take more pics.

I dont know why other cant see it. I can see it here at work. ITs probably a bug in you guys comp.

it is bad if you dish out over 600 bucks for the trunk with a quality like that.

Are you installing the lexan replacemement glass as well? How much for everything total? Around $1000?

Post by **VmaN!** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 6:12 pm

lol it kinda looks like there is a film on it, you know like that piece of plastic you peel off that they put on LCD displays to protect the surface. Fitment looks good, but that is pretty odd that it isnt as glossy as your headlight covers.

Probably not. Lexan is about 500, if I get that then it'll be around 1000. BUt I already ordered a hood(not charge speed) and it should be on its way so no money for lexan.

Yes its odd. But I'm going to have the body shop put a clear coat on it when its time to paint the car again.
