The fitment of trunk looks good, bet it took lots of work.

As for the trunk, it definitely took some tweaking but the shop has a lot of experience with OEM CSL and V-CSL modifications so they knew how to make it fit. They insisted on using both trunk struts despite it weight 1/3 the weight of the OEM trunk (double sided CF). I'm VERY happy with fitment.

Double sided CF trunk, hood, diffuser, front bumper. I already had the hardtop, but obviously it needed to be repainted to the new color, and I had the rear fenders pulled to accomodate 11" wide wheels.

Most of the wetsanding/polishing is complete, so the car is slowly getting pieced back together. In the pics, the hood isn't shut, and the trunk isn't aligned, but we checked fitment before it hit paint and it was perfect. One issue I ran into was that the PDC sensors are still Carbon Black- anybody know if these could be painted over, or do I have to order new PDC sensors?
The moldings were all painted today, and my tint shop is retinting the rear glass with a different film before we put it back in (the rest of the car will be retinted as well once I have it back).
