Make sure you don't loose too much weigh on your car or it may fly away.

The CF will be on the lower end of the prices I originally quoted. If not at the maximum lowest price I posted.

It'll be just like any wing with thinned out edges. It wont hurt you if you don't hurt it lol. You should be fine though. We made a little and I say a little thicker the the steel replicas that you saw on these boards. Also, I've updated your listing as well. Thank you for the response.

I wanna figure out a way to have it painted black but still have a some of the CF showing. On a hood it's easy b/c of the body lines, trunk is a little more difficult haha

Two spots had opened up. Both were swooped on right away lol. If the other two names in bold don't respond soon I will give you one they're spots, if you want it.

No, you wouldn't be able to tell that there is carbon under the paint. Until you open the trunk.

Since you've been constantly speaking to me about this hood, I am going to honor this price for and see if I can 1 extra trunk shipment for you. I understand you are moving so its hard for you to decide. But let me know what you decide.

If your interested for sure let me know and I'll see if I can open up a few more spots. The way things are going the Cobalt owners may get they're own container period lol.

I am not sure yet, we haven't classified the trunk under a specific shipping category. Canadian shipping could run as much as $230.00

You posted the GB pricing,

Duraflex will range from $360-$420 + Shipping
Carbon Creations will range from $480-$560 + Shipping.

If you got a chance to read through last couple of pages I said it would be closer to the $480 range then $560.

Well its firm to the extent that you will get the lowest possible price. Its almost 35-40% off of retail.
