RADIUM Engineering 20-0051-01 Modular Rear Clam Kit for Lotus Elise 2ZZ-GE Black

The RADIUM Engineering Modular Rear Clam Kit is an essential upgrade for 2005 and newer Lotus Elise models equipped with the 2ZZ-GE engine. This precision-engineered kit dramatically simplifies rear clamshell removal, reducing the process to less than 10 minutes when combined with a few modifications. With the clamshell easily removable, engine service becomes significantly more accessible, reducing labor time and costs for routine maintenance and repairs.

Kit Includes:

• Billet aluminum decklid hinge brace with bright dip black anodized finish
• Four black anodized laser-cut aluminum body shim pads (73% lighter than factory steel shims)
• Four green anodized aluminum body shim spacers
• Two sets of precut super adhesive nylon hook and loop fasteners
• Stainless steel countersink hardware for secure, permanent installation
• Detailed installation instructions

Construction and Features:

• CNC-machined billet aluminum construction for precision fit and durability
• Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance and sleek appearance
• Hinge brace adds structural support after deck lid hinge mounting points are separated from firewall
• Aluminum shim pads bolt directly to rear subframe and upper rollbar mount, replacing factory tape-on steel shims
• Significantly lighter than stock components while maintaining strength

The modification process involves separating the deck lid hinge mounting points from the firewall, and the included brace restores structural integrity to the hinge support member. The aluminum shim pads provide a more permanent, robust solution compared to the factory steel shims that are simply taped in place. This kit is designed for enthusiasts and professional mechanics who require frequent access to the engine bay for performance upgrades, track maintenance, or regular service intervals.
