"Tjin" Style Trunk
well that still doesnt help his case. I think ED knows how much they sell an oem style trunk for. And if they do (which they should) then the estimates on the new trunk probably had taken that into consideration. Also, if they are purchasing and reselling oem style trunks, they would probably be more expensive than a trunk they manufacture themselves. I dont know what the price will be and I am not gonna argue about it. However, I am just gonna go by what the OP said.
this is where it began
and after a few words
Really? I dont see anything "left field" about it, but you are entitled to your opinion.
Anywho, I am not trying to be a thread jacker, so you are 100% right sir. Have a nice day

OP gave a price lower than there OEM CF Trunk which is already made and easier to make...CF yes but its simple.
I highly highly doubt its going to be cheaper than a OEM trunk no matter what the material is.
The fact you did not do research even when I sent the link just proves my point further that you guys are just basing your opinion on the price.
If 2 kits came out for the LSJ say a Stage 2 kit, will you go with Cobalt Addiction or ZZP? ZZP is a lil higher priced but you can rely on there parts, CA is slow at shipping and very unreliable but there cheaper....
Thats the way I see this. You guys are picking CA.

I know that's not your point but since you're missing my point, I dont care about yours. I will break it down kindergarten style for you. IF I CAN GET ONE FOR 350 - 500, I AM IN FOR SURE!! IF NOT, OH FREAKING WELL!!

Have you picked up your point from left field yet?
In response to those of you who only want one if you can get it cheap. look at it this way, if they do carbon fiber, the typical thing that always happens on this site will happen. A bunch of people will buy it, then sell it in a few months, because they realized they don't want it, or really need the money, so you'll be able to buy them cheaper used very quickly

First off I wish there was a Smiley that was eating popcorn because of the entertainment this post is bringing haha.
Yes I am. I believe the next move is for the OEM lip in CF only.
I would agree. If in fact it is higher then what I quoted, then I will set up a Group buy to bring the price down. I am going to be looking out for this community like my family.
:popcorn: crap it didn't work! haha. Thanks for helping me out with these posts!

Also, for the people who really want Duraflex. Don't you think it'd be smarter if we were to just create the wing for your car? and you can take it to a shop and get it painted and molded on?

Thats actually not a bad idea. Especially since I want to do a G5 trunk lid.
That's actually a bad idea...like almost everything ..widebodys etc....Having it molded on to a stock truck no matter how well they do it it will crack....there's no way arond that plus with the open and shuting of thr trunk it will happen sooner the. Later...if the op is backing out of doing a duraflex trunk...I wouldnt even bother making just the wing personally
