Default Carbon Fiber Trunk?

Anyone know if anyone makes a carbon fiber trunk for an integra? I'd like one for my car with a carbon fiber hood. I think it might look cool...... what? stop looking at me like I'm weird I just want a cf trunk.

They make a fiberglass hatch, butI don't know about carbon fiber... ??? Hmm, get one custom done if you want one done.

Later,

I haven't heard of any cf trunks for the coupe's before, although i have heard of the sedan's since their trunks are actually a "trunk." As for the hatchback on the coupe version, as I look at mine with the panels off, I don't think its possible to have a cf version on the market, the supports would need to be pretty strong and their would have to be good seals for the rear window to fit onto.. Although there are alternatives, there is this 11 second (flat) itr with a rear hatch sprayed flat-black.. He removed the metal support underneath to basically cut down the weight and used hood pins to seal the trunk shut. This is a full-drag car though, fully gutted interior, plexi-glass windows, etc.., but I really like the trunk even if it isn't cf.. Recently he just sprayed the doors flat-black, adding some original style to his ride.. Peace

Damn How I wish I kept that ITR.

Ohh well at least Forest is putting it to better use than I would have.

Doors are flat black becuase the doors are striped and gutted to reduce all weight
