I think I'm the first in the bay area to have this on a civic coupe...I've seen it on a WRX before. Let me know what you guys think.

it would look cool if it was the same color as the rest of the car.. nice for weight reduction though.

 

I had to match this:

 

mtk is right, in our opinion it would look better painted, I never really liked how the CF trunks looked like. How much did it cost?

yeah.. i think CF is cool for weight reduction on track cars.. but on street cars, it just looks like unpainted panels.. ya know? plus, i never really saw the need to lose so much weight on the street..

 

whoa.... its alright

 

Seems to fit pretty good. Did you purchase that from VIS? I noticed some of those in their booth at the IAS

 

CF hoods/panels on painted street cars look just as bad as primered hoods/panels on painted street cars (in my opinion of course)

 

has you guys ever thought that people like doing stuff just because they think it looks nice not because it'll help them be lighter?

 

yea, it's vis

bought it for about $450 shipped

I didn't get the hood or trunk for weight reduction, it was a way for me to blend my paint because I had my left side repainted and the paint don't match perfectly to the trunk, hood, bumpers, right side

I like the black/blue carbon fiber look rather then matching the color of the car

yeah, im sure we all know there are ricers out there who spend $$$ on useless ugly looking panels.

if you got the trunk because its weight reduction and you actually need weight reduction, ok.

if you get the trunk because you think it looks "bling"....believe me, it really really does not.

 

im surprised that kid187896597834 hasnt bought one yet

 

now you need a CF lip............

 

damn, that looks dope and don't paint it, it looks better like that on your color car !

 

Looks like pretty good quality.

Now time to get more cf body parts

yes, but he asked for comments

 

I have my opinion on the paint or not paint thing but the quality sure looks top notch!

 

so how much weight did you actually save with that trunk? Isn't the trunk piece already light as it is? Just curious.

Looks cool. Never seen it on a civic before.

 

Bay Area huh? If I see you around, I'll give you a honk.

 

thanks for all the replies

I'm not sure how much the trunk weights but I know it's at the very least 1/2 of what the stock one weights. That thing takes off when I pop it from inside the car.

 

lot of those in so cal, have yet to see one on an eg

 

nice. now paint it

 

civic trunks arent even heavy...

i like carbon fiber trunks on s2k's

cant decide if i like it or not...ummm....get the middle (where license is) carboned too

decided...looks COOL to me!

 

actually ur not the first on the bay...my team mate has one too...did u get urs from Rcrew???

 

ahh...the new trend!!! LOL, i'm just messin withca. I think it looks dope.......if i were behind you, i'd say....DAYMN!!!!
