Strafe vs Hikka

I'm interested in these two trunks, and they look pretty similar to me. Can anyone with experience let me know about fitment etc.? If you have pics please post

For the Hikka, Go to the sedan media section and find the threads started by myself and G Sedan. Lots of info and pics.

fitment on both are pretty decent for aftermarket FG. It's up to you on what kind of styling you want.

1 has doggy door, 1 doesn't.

The strafe is slightly better in price too, and you get it in full carbon cheaper than hikkatadori in FG. Again, it's based on what kinda styling you're looking for.

YOu're gonna need a godo shop who's willing to do somewhat significant bodywork. There are waves and thin FG coats throughout. Will require bondo, slight sand and trim, and blocking at the very least. Striker will need to be lowered for better fitment also. It's definitely doable with a capable shop.

its vey hard for aftermarket parts to fit "perfectly". Not at the price range you're paying for these trunks anyway.

with some minor adjustments, it will fit better than most aftermarket/CF trunks.

for Srtrafe's leftover doggie door versions in-stock, they'll shave and primer the door out and it'll be cheaper than the new non-doggie version coming out. you'll also have a full carbon one for cheaper than the HD in FG.

Other than the doggy door is there a diff in between the strafe and hikka? Havent got to see them in person which is why i ask. So fitment and quality are pretty similar?

Strafe - full carbon fiber, more subtle lip(flows perfectly w/the sedan body lines, IMO), slightly better fitment

HD - full fiberglass or w/cf wrapped lip(extra $$$), more aggressive lip(duck tail style, compliments a body kit nicely), special "tricks" needed for proper fitment

both look great in person and in pictures, it's just a matter of style/taste and budget.
