I had that on my cf trunk, it comes off with a hot wet towel. It seems to be buffing compound from when the buff they trunk after clearing it. Comes right out.

Compare the price as well. Like a wise man once said, if you dont like it then shut the **** up and don't buy it.

Looks good OP. And I agree with you. Redlude97 rarely says anything positive.

I'm not referring to any buffing compound.. I tried to circle the area of the roof that is not covered by the cap.


seriously?... you can see buffing compound on there ? good eye

+1000000, You offer a great product to everyone and people have no respect but to talk **** about it. Redlude is a tool, always runs his mouth, loves to talk ****, and loves to start ****. My advice to everyone is to not take advice from this ***. Someone one day will eventually finish him off,

What are you to expect? Its an overlay, the whole roof isnt being replaced.

what did i expect?... is that a rhetorical question?

I'll answer it anyway.

I've been waiting almost a year for this piece and what can I say? I guess I expected it to fit a little better.

aren't overlays supposed to cover the desired surface area?

Mastergrade makes some quality products, you know. A piece like this is prone not to be installed properly by the installer. Ever thought about that? I guess we will just have to wait and see how well they fit as others continue to buy them. As for now, if anyone doesnt like it, stfu. Jim is trying to make a living here like everyone else by offering great aftermarket parts for us and if you dont like it, keep it to yourselfs.

I think it looks good, but the op could have taken a little more time and lined up the edges a little bit better.

yea man, of course that crossed my mind.

that's why i said "maybe it wasn't prepped properly" (giving MG the benefit of a doubt)

Its very easy to do, but if you put enough epoxy down, you should be able to slide it around til iall sides line up with some pressure.

damn hotel, you're putting a lot of weight on the OP's shoulders by first saying it wasn't installed properly and then proclaiming how incredibly easy it is to install
