Paying $400 isn't a for sure thing as far as fitment goes. Anytime you go with aftermarket body parts you're taking a gamble on fitment.

OEM trunk, modified, equals OEM fitment.

Truer words were never posted....^....aftermarket quality is questionable at best! You can spend hundreds of $$ at your body shop making is close to right!

How would you like to make a little profit? You are already in the hole $175. I would like to offer you $250, a K&N drop in filter and some Nismo stickers.

man i respect the offer and them nismo stickers are so hard to turn down butttt i dont think if it was even 10 hundred dollar bills laying in front of me i would give this trunk lid up. i got some quality time in to this thing and this is the first time ive ever taken on something like this so for as good as its turning out ide pass up any offer just for the satisfaction of saying ....YES I DID THAT

well my body man will be the guy to figure that out and help me with it. this is the first time ive ever done something like this. i work with sheet metal alot but never painted anything. so far i just was tig welding all my slices i had to make to get the parts to bend both directions back shut so there not much bond or whatever hes gonna use in it. i want as little non metal stuff on that lid as possible so its taking a little time but i think will be well worth the effort when its done

Hi Nicole....^....his body shop will grind and sand so everything is smooth so they won't need much filler, if they're doing it right. I can't wait to see the finished lid.
