Overall your car looks great! I just can't get past the fact that your trunk doesn't line up correctly with the taillights. I understand the whole "it's aftermarket" discussion but I don't understand why hoods, fenders, and bumpers can be made to sit well but the trunks can't.

Even the MG2 trunk for the coupes can be worked to fit perfectly, I have a friend local that has one (MT7Rabbit) and his looks great.

I'm not bashing on your trunk Mark, overall your car is one of the sweetest sedans I've seen. It's just the trunk lines that bug me.

^all good... yeah, i know it's easier for the coupe trunks look "on-point" since they don't have 2pc tails, they just have to have an even gap along the bottom of the trunk lid and they're good.

Elongate the holes on the bracket more and you should be able to drop the bar enough to fit under the hood.

To the top.

I would be great if they simply made OEM parts carbon fiber without adding on stupid stuff. I would like the OEM trunk in carbon fiber so I can use the OEM Nismo spoiler and simply paint it so people don't know it's carbon fiber.

That curve on the trunk looks out of place and it's not functional like the OEM spoiler.
