I finally got my trunk to line up correctly...it ended up being a latch issue that I fixed. Now I'm working on fixing the trunk lid and putting stuff back together.
My first question is, can someone take a picture like the one below for me? I'm wanting to see how the trunk should be curved, so I can bend it back as close as possible and then apply some body filler to smooth it out. The pic is below. My second question relates to the pic below. The ridge where the rubber trunk seal pops onto seems to be bent pretty badly. My question is, should the whole ridge be bent like the sides, which seem to be pointing at an approximately 45 degree angle? Or does it get more horizontal in the middle? If anyone knows, I'd greatly appreciate an answer. Thanks! ![]() Oh yeah, I also have been sanding the paint off of my tail-lights since I have so much paint on mine that it's hard to see the lights in direct sunlight. So far I've wetsanded down to 800 grit after I got all of the paint off, and they look hazy. What grit should I use before I shoot a coat or two of clear?

The answer to the first question: Yes, see the pictures below.
The answer to the second question: The whole thing is at a 45 degree angle. So no, it doesn't get horizontal at any point when it gets to the middle or anything.

I'm always glad to help. Sorry about the pics in the links... it wouldn't let me post the images on the actual message. I don't know why... I've done it before... But yeah man, let me know if this helps. Later! EDIT: I'm sure you already know but when you click the link, just maximize the new window to see it bigger.
