faded top finish can be restored by marine fiber glass product(by 3m), or you can bring it to the pro and let them recoat it for you.

the UV rays really take a hit on the finish on CF, the only thing you can really do is park it in the shade and buy the trunk from a good manufacturer.

it costs around 100 to restore a hood

 

THANX ALOT EVERYBODY!!!

 

how much did it cost you for a seibon trunk?

 

$500

 

Bwahahahhahahaha... you got ripped son.

$200-$300 FTMFW!

Just shows that you either didn't shop around, have money flowin outta your ***, or you're simply stupid.

 

HMMM!!! i guess its a little of all 3!!!!! damn, that sux.......................

 

yea i remember the thread that somebodies warped on them, but i dont know how to prevent that, but i do know that the trunk is now lighter so the springs will pop the trunk faster so be careful

 

Wow seems like someone buying a carbon fiber trunk should already know the answer to the question that you are asking.

Because of the trunk springs. It forces the trunk out of shape over time. The sun heating it up only makes it easier.

 

take out trunk springs and throw some layers of clear coat on it and i shuld be fine!!! SOUNDS ALRITE!!! thanx everybody
