              Me too. By the way, where do you get a 'Tail Finisher'? I wasn't aware that my tail was 'unfinished'.

                        I installed mine as the maker intended with the metal tabs and the one bolt, and the first time I closed the hatch the TF broke. It cracked on both end where it wraps around above the tail light.

                          OUCH!!

                          David, maybe you could write this up and describe what may have gone wrong and suggest a "cure."

                          I didn't get a tail finisher, but I just got "stimulated." It all went directly to my VISA bill, which went down under $500 for the first time in years. Next paycheck I'll pay it off completely before I begin running it back up again.

                            I received mine in the mail today...not to impressed impressed on the quality really thin fiberglass should of did 4-5 layers. Those tin tabs are only good for one bend after that they don't like to re-adjust at all. The center screw doesn't even line up with anything and i had to take off my center plastic piece that holds the license plate light off. Also there is a minor gap in the center about a foot long. I'm going to try it on one of my other hatches


                            ** had minor body work issue on my white car, wouldn't fit in the center and driver taillight**

                              Well i test fit it another hatch still a little gap in the center, and the bolt stud hit the grab handle dead center meaning when installed you cannot open your trunk. Better cut the stud off first instead of test fit it that way you dont have to manually unlock it by crawling in the back and pulling the rod after pulling the grey access panel.

                              **Hatch on my california car and no dents what-so-ever...straight bare metal**

                              Will post photos during fit stages, pre paint and after paint.
