alot of cf companies use a clear on there parts but its not an automotive grade clear and after time wil start to turn yellow and peel so its just extra insurance

Should look good with tjin style trunk. I'm going to get my hood sanded down and get it cleared as well. They look so off when there yellowed. Are you selling that trunk you got there? Or have anyone lined up? I've been trying to find a used oem cf trunk!

If your local guy backs out let me know. I'd pay that plus shipping for that trunk!
