I'm looking into getting a carbon fiber trunk without the keyhole. Looks like someone finally made one.

do you have or can get any picts of the inside of it, im just sketchy about the strength of the inside from shutting it alot cause i want to use it alot still. if you could get them it would make my decision alot easier

The trunk seems pretty sturdy so far. the taillights were a tight fit but the trunk never cracked or anything. heres some pics of the inside of the trunk. Dont know what pics your looking for but here is some....

We use a 2x2 twill style weave, and the edges are rolled. We also only use high quality PPG clear coat on all of our products.
