Yo whats up? I installed my trunk last week and its pretty self explanitory. I just wanna give you guys a heads up whos ordering it that there are no pre drilled wholes in the trunk. You have to drill them all yourself. ofcourse that doesnt count the trunk latch and 2 wholes for the reverse. those are drilled. but the small 1/4 wholes have to be. And also do this in tempatures 75 degrees or higher or the CF will crack. Trust me on that I installed mine in 30 degree weather and it was flipping freezing. and i also have a tiny crack in mine from that but nto noticable. so have fun w/ the trunk. the CF also weighs next to nothing where as the stock trunk weighed about 32 lbx plus 10ish for the SS spoiler

ill get picks when i clean my car. its been so cold out side the water would just freeze

 

I am thinking about ordering one. Which did you buy ? I looked at Gravana and they have one.
I can't wait to see pics. Did you put the wing back on..? I got lots of ????'s

 

I also have a few questions. CF trunk is def in the works, thinking of CF truck with the stock wing put back on, and hopefully soon blue len brake lights or clear with blue LEDS.

 

i got the trunk from gravana . i didnt put the wing . not only do i not trust myself drillin through CF but im not sure if i like it w/ the wing on. i placed it on top of my trunk and looked but just dont think it goes right. ill try to take some pics tom w/ the spoiler just placed on it and also w/o the spoiler. a lil heads up my car will be very very dirty looking. for it just snowd 9 inches here.

I would not put any blue lights on your car at all it is just asking to be given a ticket, it is considered impersonating a police officer and in Colorado it can get you up to 6 months in jail. Trust me I am a Criminal Justice major and i am going into lawenforcement. The only legal colors to have on a car while it is on the street is amber and white on the front, red or amber on the back and you can have white on the back only when in reverse. Also it is illegal to not have red reflectors on the back of your car, even the Lexis suv's that have clear tail lights have red reflectors on the bumper.

 

Looking forward to some pics and want to do a CF hood and trunk myself.

 

yea pics ill probably pick one up after winter

 

not going to be doing a cf trunk but want picssss

 

booooo better to know now than get a ticket, as im guesing there are similar types of laws in canada.

i hope this works. enjoy

 

get some pics from farther away to get more of the car in the picture...

 

I deffinately like it with the spoiler. :

 

I like the spoiler on it too...I am going to go with a carbon fiber one. I think the yellow will look good with the carbon fiber hood/trunk/wing....now I am debating when to drop the $$$

 

cant u see that it was cold outside? haha. but ill try to get some this weekend.hopefully the weather will warm up so i can wash her too. but i havent put the spoiler on it . i think im gonna get the CF one. only way to go now

 

thats looks so f-ing hawt with the wing on

 

I like the wing on the CF. Looks real nice. If it was me I would put it back on.

 

Wow. I still can't believe anybody would want to drive around with a black hood and trunk b/c if they painted it nobody would know its carbon fiber. It just makes it look like the body shop had to replace the trunk and used the trunk lid off a different color car....

 

Totally agree,

IMO if the wing was left at the curb instead of being put back on, it would look better.

More to that, if the Trunk and Hood were painted to match with minor CF Details showing, you would get a 100% from me.

The point of CF is Weight, not Look Cool..

Here is an idea of what I did to the P5. The Hood was painted white but the front left side decal of MAZDASPEED was masked off and shows CF under a clear coat. Also, 1" is left NAKED close to the windshield. Unless the car is Black, CF looks odd IMO... Weight Savings, Not really good for "Cool"

 

But, my car is black so when I order them I am going to leave them CF. not paint them. I think

 

Agreed, It look HAWT only on a Black car because is maintains the stock look of the car.

 

Paint that trunk lid!!! It would look better if your car was silver or black! But nice im thinking about picking one up...
