The problem I see with this company is the total lack of consistency, both in product quality and in service. Some have no problems with either while too many have. Pick a card, any card.
if you got another cf trunk, it wouldn't have this BOW problem?

No...the problem isn't the result of the c/f trunk. It is the result of our trunks springs are pushing too hard. People that run c/f trunks usually remove the trunk springs. After you remove the trunk springs you will no longer have the problem, and the trunk will fit perfect. All trunks that I have seen C-WING, SEIBON, VIS, MG all have this problem...

I don't have anything to add, but I want to thank all of you. I was considering buying the MG full puzzle kit; Thanks for saving me unneeded grief.

I would hope that after 5 years of local CF trunk availability, owners would know that you have to remove the trunk springs in order for the trunks to fit. Almost a no brainer.

I had a MG trunk that I got from a buddy of mine and it needed a lot of work to fit like a Cwings/VIS CF trunk so the quality is not near as good as Cwings/VIS. I had a couple of those trunks too.

The problem is/was the products along with customer service from what I have heard and the lies to the magazines (Import Tuner) and the judges at the shows.

I have no problem with them personally but way to many horror stories with this company. Just stay away from them and you will have nothing to worry about.

I never purchased enything from them but just look at their products.
The WB makes the car look like a bugg on steroids, all that CF interior stuff puts you into the rice Civic gang and if it does not fit on pictures, it does not fit my bill....
