i noticed that my trunk release dosnt work as well with the extra weight of the spoiler blocks. ill pop the trunk from inside the car, only to find it still locked, cause it couldnt pop up enough. i have to get out the key and turn it as i pull up the hatch with my other hand. is anyone else having the same problem? did they do anything different with the trunk release on a real gtfour?

after a while of pondering almost the same thing, I realized the center of gravity back there is different because the spoiler is pointer more towards the front of the car, rather than more weight towards the rear. The blocks themselves don't weigh much al all.
my manual release still works fine, it might be a bit harder to pull, not sure. I did notice that my remote popper doesn't work like it used to though. I believe the 205s have stronger struts in the back. my solution, new or stronger struts I guess...I don't know -------------------- |
