Vis AMS Carbon Trunk

To all of the people that own this trunk, does the trunk flex at all when you put pressure on it?

I ask because I've had a friend buy a carbon trunk for his '07 sti and it flexed on him.

I understand this isn't a FULL carbon trunk like the seibon is, I just wanted to get a little more information on it before I actually order it for myself. Can anyone help me?!

none of them are full carbon, except for maybe the dry version. they are all carbon skin over a fiberglass structure. I have installed both seibon and vis. you will need to file open the holes for the tag lights on both versions. everything else has been okay so far. fitment was acceptable. we always sand and re-clear before install. the factory resin coating will fade and chalk up over time.

Thank you so much for the information!
