Are they really cheap or something? for some reason the trunks /end caps are always really shitty. The front end fits decent. The upper side scoops fit close to perfect. Each car is different so its hard to mass produce a part that will fit them all. ---

Yea, I’d think depending on age and how its kept, exposure etc, metal flexes and expands/contracts and changes a bit overtime so its very hard to get panels to fit all cars 100% then again i could be completely talking out of my ass, but thats my guess ---

more fiberglassing. I got the back of the trunk/ endcap sitting flush but the bottom edge of the trunk is still unsquare and uneven so I put more fiberglass down to create a new edge. gap looking better ![http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9280/img2349qw.jpg](http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9280/img2349qw.jpg) bottom of the trunk ![http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9268/img2350i.jpg](http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9268/img2350i.jpg) fiberglass ![http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5747/img2351w.jpg](http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5747/img2351w.jpg) ---
