Ericsson trunk fitment
Is it just me or the lines do not match properly in the first trunk vs the second? I believe the first pic is RFP and second is carbon.

the first pic is of my car... and i can tell you its only the lighting playing a trick with you...
i defiantly see what your talking about... but really it was just wrong angle at the wrong time at the wrong light.... the fitment lines are right online for the FRP trunk... when i walk around the car.. it looks just like the 2nd and 3rd pics you posted of the actual Amuse car... |

And it's FRP, you can have your body shop add or cut fiberglass from the trunk to fit it the way you like it.

Judging by the pics it looks 10/10 man. I think its the angle the shot was taken. And with fitment that good, the shop installing it can always shave and cut little bits here and there to make it fit 100% OEM perfect.

The first pic bumper to quarter panel alignment looks uneven. Looks tighter in some spots as opposed to others.

Dude, get over it. It's FRP. It never comes out of the mold perfect. Your body shop would have to fit it and tweak it for it to fit perfect.

Fitting and tweaking will be fine ! assuming you are paying big bucks for top notch quality Japaneses product.
I also think its just the lighting and photo angle problems. My last Vorsteiner truck want installed properly, and a few tweaking the trunk is back to perfect fitment !

Ericsson trunk =
I wonder if they have plans for an e90 version in the future? Or am I stuck with the VRS.

"1st picture look like it needs little mount adjustment where it adjust how trunk closes." I don't see how adjusting it would make it fit, if you look at the top its alighment perfectly, any adjustment would cause the top not be alighned. |

FRP = fiberglass and from what little experience I had with fiberglass on my R32 and R33 GTS and with some Hamann FRP parts on my old E92, they almost never fit right straight out of the box. You need to find a good body shop to fit the part to you car. They might have to shave or add fiberglass to make the parts fit perfect. Different aftermarket parts manufacturers have different tolerance on the variation between body parts manufactured with the same mold. I'm pretty sure Powerhouse Amuse have a pretty low tolerance for variance so their body kit should fit pretty well.

Fitment looks good to me. Like the others said, it's probably the lighting and angle.

If you look at the where the tail lights and circled area, I am pretty sure it just need some adjustments. Top line is really hard to tell from that pictures because of the lighting. |
