hey guys i got the idea today that id like to maybe have a flat bootlid. i dont mean the drift/stealthwing either. just a flat boot. i did a search on here and google to find some pics but all i can find are rear views.

i know both east bear and do luck make them. UAS and Carmate also supply. anyway i wanna know ppl's experiences with these things.

how strong are they? will they stand up to opening and closing like the stocker?

are they any lighter? (cf is obvious wat bout frp/metals?)

being lighter will they cause probs with the gas struts on the stocker?

finally id really like any pics you guys have especially side/profile views and rear 3/4 views

peace

not very i dont think,

there was one a split second performance a while ago, hard to explain but it was mostly made of strip's of metal, abouts 4, that went from front to back and they were bent, then it had acrylic and then the whole things was coated in fibreglass, the brackets etc were welded to the metal strips

F**K its hard to explain lol

i think it was just a dodgy job of it but they said they can order them in so i dunno :S

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
