RennKit Next, put the left side bolts in and tighten until firm. Check that both sides are still in proper placement and tighten enough that the deck lid is not loose. Carefully test that the deck lid is firmly held on both sides, then gently lower it. DO NOT fully close the deck lid. If retaining the original air intake box, or have an aftermarket air intake, check for a clearance problem. Check on all edges of the deck lid to insure clearance on the top and fenders on both sides. With the deck lid nearly closed, check for misalignments. If the upper Turbo cowl panel was installed, it should be positioned as close to the rear window, a wide gap is visible. Perform deck lid alignment first, then move the upper panel down to match up. Only loosen/adjust/tighten the minimum number of bolts needed each time and after a couple of tries everything should start lining up. Once you are certain that gaps are aligned, nothing is going to bump and the latch is lining up correctly - gently shut the deck lid. Adjust the bumpers at the bottom edge to align the lid with the fenders. With the lid closed check for uneven gaps or vertical misalignments with the fenders and upper panel. Adjust the upper cowl panel into place to align the gap once the deck lid is well aligned. Check fan clearance to the MAF upon closing the deck lid the first time. Using a Fabspeed carbon fiber intake, the MAF sensor mounted on the end touches the Turbo fan assembly. This is mitigated by removing the plastic shroud on the fan as shown below: If the Fabspeed intake is stainless, the MAF is positioned differently and provides clearance for the fan. Below are pictures of both the carbon fiber and the stainless intake versions. Note that the MAF mount is closer to the engine and more forward of the fan on the stainless version: 16
