Then something is wrong with her since a ton of people on the forums ran into very little issues in comparison to the Vorsteiner version.

I have no idea. She already exchanged it twice already. I haven't talked to her in a while. I should ask does that CSL trunk finally fit.

the only other person that i read had issues was Amit.. but he self owned. he purchased a returned lemon at a cheap price only for him to try and sell it.

ray and jon both have the seibon. they didn't run into any crazy issues aside from drilling all the sh!t yourself.

vorsteiner is pretty bad too. i still don't have the rubber seal around my trunk lock to this day, and my trunk doesn't pop open for some reason even after connecting and reconnecting the wires again. i didn't have the sliding issues or the water leak issues that others had though.. but i got mine a couples years after it was released.

my guess is the vorsteiner is a hair better.. i can only assume that the vis/seibon version is just a vorsteiner replica.. they both have gap issues in the same spots.. haha

Amit can be Captain Poke-Guy #2.

I heard from Fern in order for the lock mechanism to fit properly and all that you need to cut the area out and then epoxy it back on. Pretty fail if you ask me.

It is sad Vorsteiner can't make a better fitment product from molding off the original CSL trunk. However, VIS/Seibon can make a direct replica of Vorsteiner with all its fitment problems and what not. People wanted a Vorsteiner replica, I think VIS/Seibon answered their prayers.

Yea, I'm not cutting and going to expoxy sh!t on my trunk. lol Had the Seibon version come out sooner, it would probably be on my car now.

woot! one mini rattle solved... broken exhaust hanger is now fixed!! now if only that koni clunk would magically disappear..........

Hey funny thing about my diffuser... after a long drive, the diffuser looks like it's coming off the bumper...other words, the gaps become much bigger...

It goes back to the original position after cooling down... wtf... is this normal? My guess is the 3M tape got soften with all the exhaust heat etc...

It is cheaper than Vorsteiner and fits the same. Makes sense!

I think the heat is expanding the 3M tape because it seems to be made of a foam like material. So when it cools it should contract again. Does your diffuser have the groove for the 3M tape or does it just stick on top of the flat surface?

I had to post these from my friends website... he likes to manipulate photos hahaha

it just stick on top of a flat surface that attached to the bottom of the rear bumper.... Maybe I need to redo the diffuser with a better 3M tape or even with epoxy... but dont wanna sacrifice my bumper...

Their new products have a groove that you can put the 3M tape on so it is flush with the surface that contacts the bumper. It greatly reduces the visible gap.

I heard about it somewhere. I forget where though. Take a picture of the back of your diffuser Jason.

mine too.. it's a brand new Type II diffuser...I know the groove you are saying but it's barely even a groove...

plus the curve of the diffuser doesnt bend with the lines on the bumper...

I will try to post some pics tonight...
