i'd be interested in fiberglass only. whats the pricing shipped to 23666?

i'm still trying to figure out what to do with the missing third brake light. i don't think a window mounted one would look very good. any ideas for a flush mounted one?

there isnt actually....... unless you want to have a bodyshop professionally put one in the trunk. but that defeats the purpose of the trunk.

I'm pretty satisfied with the product, craftsmanship is excellent and their customer service is outstanding! I even got a tour of their work area where everything is fabricated, I saw their line-up of quality cf parts for 350Z's and S2000's. And for those of you in the market for a vented cf hood, I just donated my stock hood so they can get started on producing their version of the RX8 hood. I was told that it would be about a month or so before they finish and release the hood... there's still time to contact mastergrade if you have any suggestions on how you want the hood, I'm sure they will consider all inputs.

Big thanks to Mike (BRGREEN8) for doing all the legwork to make this possible.
get the taillight condensation fixed!

not really. its pretty much a debadged trunk with a molded lip. IDK, maybe i'll just try going without a light and figure something out later.

el dinero es en tu account de paypal
el dinero es en pesos para tu y tu grande papaya




in other news... this is gonna look perfect with the kit thats waiting to go on. i just love how its subtle yet aggressive... more aggressive than other trunk lids, and more smooth than a spoiler

bev has my previous mint blue spoiler. would be cool to compare the trunk with spoiler and the trunk with spoiler molded.

Ladies and Gents... Id just like to let everyone know I payed for my CF trunk in full on 1/18/2008, TWO MONTHS AGO, and still have not recieved it.

The delays by Mastergrade have continued... first they waited over a week after payment to get my home phone number from me (apperantly the shipping company needed it), so I already had paid for 7 day shipping an 8 days later the trunk was JUST being shipped.

I waited another 10 days and the trunk never came.
I got back in touch with BRGREEN8, and after 4 days I got a tracking number for BAX Global... which had lost the package, or something.

Another 4 or so days after establishing the trunk was lost, Mastergrade began to make me new trunk, which was apperantly completed on 3/10/08, to be shipped on 3/11/08

It is now 3/17/08 and I still have no trunk.

I have shown my car TWICE since I payed for the trunk a month ago, and planned to have it on the car for both of those shows... obviously that didnt happen.

The gaps in communication from Mastergrade have been terrible, I have been out $650 for a month with nothing to show for it.

I payed $164 for 5-7 day shipping... not 5-7 WEEKS. I believe that at this point either Mastergrade should have payed for quicker shipping out of pocket, or refunded my shipping costs, as I have NOT gotten what I payed for.

Am i being unreasonable here? I believe Ive been pretty patient throughout this whole process, but I am begining to wear thin.


****POINT OF THE STORY***

I wouldnt recommend ANYONE make any purchases from Mastergrade or participate in this GB until Mastergrade comes up with a solution to this clusterfuck.

Im sure the trunk is beautiful... but quality product or not, I dont know, cuz I DONT HAVE IT.
