carbon Trunk is too lighter then original part!!

I have the same problem. Just put the old one back on and when you open the trunk just guide it up and don't let it get out of control. After a few weeks you will get over it.

You can make it work. It took Trinity's body shop 30 mins but came out nice.

I may not fully grasp your fitment problem. But a simple solution to the "carbon being too light" is to add lead weights to the underside of the lid until you have achieved the correct opening speed.
