Sure you might of known this, but the Holes are for JDM plates - you can buy a JDM to USDM license plate bracket on Amazon, had to do this for my JDM sti trunk ....

[@RyansRandomActs]

Right on . Thanks bud. I didnt know that . Ill have to look into that

[@nismoylan]

Ya the stock holes on the front bumper for a WRX are for JDM also. I did not want to drill my front bumper so just made a little bracket. Also if you do that it will be centred as it seems to be of to the right as you are using 1 JDM hole. I feel your pain with expensive carbon. Just fit my hood this weekend. So annoying how much work such expensive pieces can take to fit.

[@Rad1oD3mon]

Just got this trunk myself to match the hood and I'm having a fair amount of fitment "issues"; which is surprising because the hood was a perfect match to OEM!

[@crusoebower3391]

Keep sporting that cross chief 💪 I know you got love for Jesus

[@RyansRandomActs]

💪

[@junk4719]

Just a heads up for anyone else interested in VIS products. They are known to have a lot of fitment issues. My V2 heat extractor hood actually sits higher on one side, at first I thought it needed adjustment but further looking into it I actually received a bad mold. Understandable for mass produced products but as also mentioned in this vid when you are paying close to 2K for these items we shouldn’t have to deal with these minor issues.

[@That_Stinger_GT5]

Is it me or the gaps to the trunk are significantly larger than the oem ones? Ik carbon will never be perfect but I feel you have alot of gap from the trunk to rear quarter panels

[@joshuasanitate2826]

That sucks you had so many issues with the install. I got the Seibon OEM style CF trunk for my 16. Literally no issues, everything went back on and in perfect.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Yea. Wish vis would have been that way

[@evlx14]

Looking 🔥 man. Hopefully a Japanese to US license frame adapter gets you squared away. 👌.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Yea. Ill have to look into that

[@nycdemonz173]

ill suggest either smoking your f1 light or picking up the olm nb+r smoked light to match your taillights

[@MrGsxrme]

If anyone is watching and reading this. Be sure to get the trunk from Vis directly so you don't accidentally get a foreign trunk with holes in the wrong spot like he did.

[@cH-d]

won’t be getting a carbon trunk but ducktail instead, thanks for sharing. Car is beautiful.

[@OmegaKTz]

I had the EXACT same issue with my VIS carbon fiber trunk. I had to sand down the left side of the licenses plate light in order for it to fit. Also, had to predrill my own holes to get the licenses plate to fit

[@Davethehorse321]

Fire man! Great vid. Sorry you had the problems. Glad I went with the STi wing instead of doing the CF trunk swap!

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud

[@MYWRXSTI]

yeah that trunk wasnt made for usdm its made for jdm. i wouldnt have drilled a hole in the plate but rather on the trunk. now if you get the bracket youll see the hole in your plate lol well i guess new plates as well.

[@mxrclxst]

That's pretty unacceptable how those mounting points are off base from OEM. Although one thing in their defence, the license plate mounting holes are actually correct. You're not meant to mount the plate directly to the trunk. The holes don't line up because it's meant for a plate bracket be in place before the mounting the plate / plate cover itself. The holes I believe are Japanese plate bracket spec. You can use a universal bracket to mount US plates to it.

[@xil3ntkha0s]

For an aftermarket part it's to be expected. I got a new OEM trunk and the fitment is off; one side sticks out more than the other around the tail light area and is not flush with the small groove of the rear bumper. I tried adjusting it as much as I could but no cigar. Pretty disappointed.

[@alihakimpour1015]

Nice man your car has gone through some nice changes and for the carbon fibre thing i had the same thing happen to me when i bought carbon fibre grills for my 07 the holes didnt fit right so had to improvise. Anyways again nice car and its good to see you making videos again keep up the good work.

[@TJShoop]

Beautiful. welcome to the carbon trunk gang! sadly mine had to have adjustments made and came with a crack :/ but has been fixed and re cleared. wax as much as you can. re clear if you can but it will probably eventually fade. looks awesome brother.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud. Haven't heard from you in a while. Nice build . 🔥

[@jasonbirkenbach4585]

I just put mine on last night and had the exact same issues, guess they haven’t bothered to fix their mess ups

[@saigoneze4465]

that's unacceptable i'd be contacting them man on the flip side you made it work and it looks sick!

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud. And I usually alway make it work if I want it bad enough

[@iceyfiero]

I installed my trunk hungover af maybe still a bit drunk w no sleep in about 20 minutes

[@x13xAVALANCHE]

Best looking trunk for the 15+ subies, amazing choice bro 🙌🏻 just need the carbon hood now 😂

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud. I agree. And maybe one day. 🤷‍♂️

[@KABAMFPV]

Looks so good dude! Sucks you had so many problems. Glad you got it figured out.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud. It was worth it though

[@Asdrez]

the holes are bigger because its meant for japan

[@Mfdoomin1204]

Do they not make these anymore ? I can’t find the website

[@n54kr.53]

i was thinking about going for a carbon fiber trunk but i might just go with the original sti trunk for now haha.

[@ronniedarko2536]

I had that VIS trunk on my CWP WRX took it off got tired of it. Went with stock trunk and CF duckbill instead.

[@Priestengineering]

I would’ve just sent that garbage back and let them send you a new one. That’s pretty stupid how it wasn’t fitting correct like 5 different ways.

[@Blanco_SubieForester]

Nice! I would buy it if it came with the Sti wing too! I just can’t see my car without that rear wing!

[@christosm9959]

I would love to see those red intake manifold from brz/gt86/frs in the wrx with the perrin stuff that would be an awesome look

[@jjessemoves]

Please keep making these educational and fun to watch videos bro💯 you’re doing great! +1 more sub🙌🏽

[@jaydenlennartz855]

That trunk is for a jdm plate not a usdm plate

[@brendanfogel4573]

You just need a nice diffuser now

[@originalmusic401]

Fantastic looking cf trunk wayyy better than oem!

[@jkingmendoza5485]

Look awesome bro I’m thinking about doing mine too hope you keeping the car bro

[@trvpluiss]

debating if i should take the wing off on my 20’ WRB STi and going with a carbon trunk

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Thanks for bringing us yet another vibe 🥂 enjoyed

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@prodigyink]

What happened to the videos

[@justinlucero6652]

Your car looks so good i got a 2012 subaru impreza and i got a vortex generator shark fins on the roof behind the antenna u should mod that one for your next video bro thumbs up ur trunk look so good are you thinking of carbon seibon hood ohhhhh ur next mod? Lol

[@RyansRandomActs]

I had the vortex generator as well but I took it off last week to wrap my roof. And hood will be in the future

[@melonlord4088]

bro love your set up with your WRX keep it up.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks

[@amakadius75]

Should have went seibon

[@CBattleJr]

Would you recommend putting on any extra clearcoat / protection for the carbon fiber?

[@jessebudelman]

RaceCar life.

[@tannerslol]

How many inches did you drop the car with coils?

[@Jscarano100]

Did you email VIS and ask them why there were so many defects with the trunk.

[@Chino21245]

I dnt usually say this word often.. but dayum that looks LiT !!!🔥

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks bud . It is pretty litty titty🤣

[@spider-man5578]

The only thing my OCD would bug the shit out of me is that extra open hole in the license plate

[@RyansRandomActs]

Same.

[@RyansRandomActs]

Same.

[@Hunter-hn4nc]

Is there a slot for the backup camera to go in?

[@angelsilva9616]

Nice 👍 that car will look awesome with some enkei Rpf1

[@RyansRandomActs]

I agree bud I love the white and gold look

[@angelsilva9616]

Yeah the car looks beautiful like that

[@idiether]

Hey man! I just got this same trunk and can’t get the lights & camera in. Any recommendations on what exactly you did?

[@DeOriginalDavid]

End result looks really nice! When you deal with carbon fiber parts that cost you a pretty penny such as this do you take any extra steps to insure that the quality lasts? Do you apply any PPF or ceramic coat it?

[@RyansRandomActs]

Yea. Ceramic coating will be added

[@emilio4696]

Looks awesome 🔥

[@abTraX95]

I had the same exact problem on my trunk for my 16 sti. what did you do to get the tag lights to fit? Can i just dremel the tag light section? i dont want to mess up the carbon

[@kingninja2794]

The trunk looks awesome man Pity you had to stuff around a bit though On a side note When you went to grab your keys near the end of the video and the camera was on your seats (so pretty btw) I was wondering how the have kept up since you installed them Like are you still loving them, would you suggest anything els What is it like living with them etc

[@RyansRandomActs]

Love the seats. Night and day from stock. I would highly recommend

[@kingninja2794]

Ryan's Random RideZ awesome thanks man ^_^

[@jayloyalty3543]

Hard work money time and love

[@bodiesbybradsfitnessbrad8621]

I couldn't live with that fitment issue Bullshit happens to many times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can relate B.SSSSSS Quality is not the same WTF!

[@michaelserrano4344]

bro what size your wheels & tires? looks perfect

[@K03sport]

... 18x9.5 +38 offset Gold Rota Grids . It's in his description (under "show more", along with other bits and pieces and two dozen links to stuff he's bought.

[@jasoncrites5306]

Looks sick 🔥

[@RyansRandomActs]

Thanks yo🤘

[@mycaraddiction938]

Did u got a trunk for Europe market?

[@alexisonfirecjj]

3m double sided tape what i use front and back bumper

[@RyansRandomActs]

For what?

[@_Simpaii]

Is there anything we can do to stop the carbon fiber trunk from flying open at the speed of light ? Scared that it might crack or damage the trunk

[@avguylyfe5837]

You can remove the bars inside the trunk. That's what springs the trunk up. Remove it then the trunk will just pop up not flip all the way

[@slimehussein719]

I neeeeeeed it!!! 🔥🔥

[@RyansRandomActs]

Use the promo code

[@tHeClOsEr15]

are you lookin to sell the carbon fiber trunk trim from your old trunk??

[@tHeClOsEr15]

nevermind, commented that before I watched the entire video and realized you installed it on the new trunk (face palm)

[@Hauteur723]

So you're saying i should go with Seibon??

[@RyansRandomActs]

Up to you. Unless your ok with cutting a little away

[@westrx1546]

That shit looks fire

[@modifyvehicleevolution7593]

My personal opinion genesis coupe still better looking car than WRX but you guys are not ready for this conversation ; )

[@sez765]

No chance lol wrx is way better looking

[@kylegeddes998]

Seibon Carbon fiber much better my guy and cheaper

[@jayloyalty3543]

Like it 🔥

[@Tony-tk4ht]

You from indiana? What part?

[@RyansRandomActs]

Southside indy

[@Tony-tk4ht]

small world

[@justagame4939]

Screw that shit! If I’m paying $1,400 for a trunk it better be ready for me to just transfer shit! I don’t want to be drilling or cutting things out. Send it back lmfao get their shit right

[@nixwrx]

so basically don’t buy a VIS one. U had so many problems for such a expensive item.

[@RyansRandomActs]

I'd say still buy vis but only if your of with cutting it a tad

[@matt89060]

Oem looks better imo

[@RyansRandomActs]

I like both. But hey. That how that car build is. Everyone has there own opinions. Thanks for your input 👍

[@matt89060]

Ryan's Random RideZ honestly. Carbon hood, and it will look soooo good!

[@matt89060]

Especially with the tail lights it’s a nice touch

[@RyansRandomActs]

@@matt89060 I agree. Maybe one day

[@cmillan14]

Really don't want to be negative cause I've been following this build for years but why is this exhaust on here? It sounds and looks terrible. It can't even make up all that trash in perfor.ance. have an Ark exhaust and it sounds awesome! Plus no drone! If you want to build the channel a bit make sure you don't cut corners. I will continue to follow and show support, just want to give my feedback for what it's worth. Keep grinding!! 👍💯

[@frostbitemobileautodetaili5944]

Now time to get rid of those ugly ass wheels

[@rafechild2348]

try to be more positive
