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.

Hmm this is pretty straightfoward.. if it its too light, add weights and make it heavier.

replace the spring with some bungee cords??

or heat up the original spring and stretch it a little.
