anybody with a 4gen lude have a carbon-fiber trunk

 

I haven't seen one. Are you getting one for aesthetics? I think the stock one is light enough as it is.

 

i remember looking throw the prelude forum and seeing a red 4 gen lude with one. i thought it would nice to have one with a carbon-fiber sunroof from lighterfaster.

 

VIS just came out with one last year, I believe. $450 is what they quoted me...

 

and does it have holes to mount the stock wing

 

I asked them the same question and they said it had only a keyhole, no wingholes(which I think is smart).

 

good looking, thanks

Who needs the stock wing on a 4th gen anyway?!? Once I get my cf trunk my 4g is officially wingless.

The stock 4th gen trunk is heavy as ****. I took out the trunk supports to install my speakers and its very, very heavy. I'm looking into a cf trunk as well

 

where would one get the cf sunroof

 

One problem I see with getting this if the trunk is heavy is that the car already has like 60/40 f/r weight dist, do u want to make it worse?

After I swapped my stock spoiler for a Mugen one... the trunk was felt light as air. I guaran-******-tee you that the stock one is not more than a couple lbs. heavier than the CF one.

 

if you want to find a cf sunroof try visiting lighterfaster.com they should have plent in stock . i'm pretty sure the 5 gen's glass sunroof fits and will work on a 4 gen

 

Just take the entire body off the frame. Just be in the open, cheaper than air conditioning. Put an indy car body on that beast. lol.

I thought about a CF trunk for my 5th gen, then just laughed at myself for having think such a thing. Replace your glass with the fiber glass shatter resistant stuff, that will save you BUTTLOADS of weight.

 

Sure, if you want to be trendy. Though, I do like the look of full cf exterior.

yeah maybe. Does the CF trunk use the two trunk support bars? Without them the stock trunk is very heavy. Either way the CF trunk is blingin'

I think they sell a plug there, so you'll lose the sunroof.

 

lexan windows will remove tons of weight but you gotta use those screw things.

 

VIS has a 4th gen trunk out?!?!

Hmm..............I wonder how much it actually weighs, no BS guesses......

Does anyone know if it still has that recessed spot for the license plate?
