I'm going to buy a CF trunk for my EG coupe here soon. I've been looking at pictures of different brands of trunks.. On your OEM trunk, you have that peice that goes on the back of your trunk for your license plate. Do most CF trunks come with these? Or do you need to use that existing non CF peice?

 

I only searched one company's site for what you're asking, and it appears that you will need the piece for that particular part.

Hmmm.. Are CF peices made for these applications?

I wouldn't even know how to begin searching for that... I'd imagine there's gotta be something out there for it.

Yeah, it's a Honda. It has to exist. I remember seeing one a long time ago on an EK. It was an OEM trunk with that peice as CF.

 

Yeah... everything exists for these cars.

Let me try searching for ya here.

 

I googled some sites and found two things.

1. The same issue with the original trunk that was displayed and the same issue you're having, none of the trunks had the license plate piece in CF.

2. There were some trunks that were fully CF and had no place for a license plate frame, then again they had no places for tail lights either.

So no luck on my part, hope that helps. Peace.

Ouch.

 

ive seen them on this before in in person. so some one is making them some where.

or since it is a fairling flat piece it maybe like a carbon fiber sticker/overlay, ive seen that at the local rice shop

 

Yeah I think I saw something about those pieces being CF somewhere! I'm sure they sell them...

 

bump for this guy

 

Hmmm, anyone know where they sell those peices?

 

that would suck if they dont, becasue i have a yellow car and i wanna get one, i dont wanna insert my yellow one in the carbon fiber trunk, that would look weird. Someone has to be smart enough to make this

 

Hey bro, not to sound retarded but are you going for an all cf look or does that matter? If not why not just use the one ont he car and get the whole damn thing painted?

 

If you can't find it you can probably pull it off with a sticker.

 

I dunno what keywords to google search with... I tried CF license plate inserts... but all I got was license plates and other CF products.

No, I'm not going for the whole 'CF' look. I think it's rediculous that that peice ISN'T included. This negativley affects me in two ways:

1. It looks retarded. Why should I have to spend money on paint, when I shouldn't have too?
2. Weight.

 

I have a cf trunk on my 97 coupe, Its made by VIS racing and it came with that piece that your talking about, another thing u might want to look out for is some of them do and do not have the key hole to open the trunk, mine has it but I wish it did not cause it looks alot cleaner to me without it...

 

I think you should call VIS directly and ask them. Ask to talk to Sonny, he's really cool.

 

for the EK but not for the EG

I have an EG, so the key hole isn't on the trunk. So, it looks like VIS includes that peice with their trunks. Anyone else?

 

I found this VIS trunk on PasswordJDM.com and it didn't include the peice..

 

Have you seen these guys in the A&C marketplace?
They don't have your specific piece shown in this thread, but they seem to make alot of strange parts in cf, similar to that trunk piece you're looking for. They may carry it or be able to make one for you... I don't know maybe it's a start.

Right on! Thanks!

 

I'm 100% sure i've seen those around. Someone around here makes and sells them thats not a company I think.
