The trunk looks great! When you figure out who's gonna install it, post how it goes.

I'm expecting my CF trunk (and hood) in May and I'll have to go through the same process.

the hinge holes are already drilled. just gotta cut out the latch mechanism hole. It also looks like it's fiberglass underneath and the outside is carbon fiber. not sure if that's right or not

That's how most CF products are made. Solid CF would be insanely expensive.

bummer.

how's the fit on it?

are you going to add a trunk lock?

basically if the trunk needs to be tweaked ~ then it would have to get re-cleared or painted.

BUT!

if it's a jellcoat issue, (from what I've gathered) that's a whole different deal...

I'm thinking it's gelcoat issues. it looks like the small chips are right down to the fiber
