We are going into this project knowing that it will be 99.9% similar to pictures posted. The only thing that we can possibly mess up is the wing, the trunk isn't hard, since we already have done it in CF.

does this include no keylock too?

I hope so! looks so much cleaner without it

I hope everyone understands that there have been over 180+ votes. I am trying to start a list to see how many people are really serious. I obviously won't be leaving a bad iTrader rating if something goes wrong on our end. Out of a 180+ votes we only have 3 people on the list to show for it? This is why I started the list.

Be nice to see what I'm dealing with before I commit to dropping this much cash plus a gazillion more for shipping, and also confirmation that there won't be a keyhole beyond, "as far as I know."

Being a painter the duraflex is a better deal and not crazy about CF in TX my buddies EVO looked great for a while till the heat here gets it. I hate my wing and trunk and wanted to shave iut but this looks clean so i will take a duraflex trunk. Plus mine is a DD so the painted duraflex makes better sence.
So duraflex and how long till these are made and how are deposits or payments being done since I didn't read all pages but like the pic. Paypal I presume.

General idea of Pricing:
DuraFlex: $350-$599 MSRP
Carbon Fiber: $550-$799 MSRP

Production Outline:
2-4 weeks of in house R&D.
24-48 hours until I am able to post pictures of the final product.
After the Group Buy ends we will need 8-12 weeks for mass producing the trunk.

UPDATE 05/16/11:
Name of the New Trunk: GT Concept

I have gotten the approval to build a Duraflex and Carbon Fiber version of the trunks.

The pricing is set at $599 for Duraflex and $799 for Carbon Creations.
After the the product its completed, I will be conducting a Group Buy on the trunks.

Duraflex will range from $360-$420 + Shipping
Carbon Creations will range from $480-$560 + Shipping.
Those prices are based off of the amount of people who actually buy and leave deposits.

Just got confirmation we will be doing this for the Sedan owners as well!

This is AWESOME!!! Finally get to see it made, I've seen the "TJIN" car in magazines then in person.. That car got me to purchase my first Cobalt.. If anyone has seen this car in person, it's one of those OMFG moments, just like seeing a Veyron SS on Ocean Drive.. LOL..
