Default ISF ventross rep Carbon Fiber Trunk Installed

Car is almost done with phase 2 and that included buying an unique styled ventross trunk ! (one piece trunk with a raised duck tail spoiler). I bought a replica because I don't think they even make the one piece trunks anymore..lol, wish they did cause I am not 100% happy with this product. When I first got it I was pleased but when I got the car back from the shop (not the shops fault either, they did a very good shop with installation and the work they had to do) I was not too happy. The owner told me that the trunk did not come pre drilled or shaved for room to put the taillights so they had to do that.. then the backup camera was not designed like the OEM trunk so they had to modify the OEM backup camera bracket to make it sit like the original. I mean, what you pay for is what you get.. Hopefully I can modify the trunk a tad more to get almost perfect fitment but as of now.. I love it ! ( little imperfections make me want to sell it but its because im a perfectionist lol )

I will get better pictures of the trunk and the fitment tomorrow, going to go wash her right now.

I know what you're talking about, Josh, but overall it does look pretty good. And to have a discontinued part is a bonus at that. Can't wait to see how Phase 2 looks when completed.

I think it looks good man. I'm a perfectionist to a fault so I feel you on the little things bothering you. But from the pictures you really can't see any imperfections. Maybe a slight alignment issue with the taillights, but very slight. Overall, the car looks spot on. Looks like I have the same spec TE37s as you too

Is your hood the Seibon? If so, how's the fitment? I've been contemplating pulling the trigger on one for a while now.

Really? I am assuming (hoping) this is a joke. And stop putting "lolz" and smiley faces after every three words.

Haha Josh, fitment is pretty damn on point. Considering how much it cost. Many of the supossedly high end JDM parts are about the same level of fitments anyways. Looks pretty good though. Our car are pretty much twins now. Just a few more parts

Thanks man & pull the trigger on the hood, makes the car look x10 more aggressive. Fitment is very good lines up well everywhere!
