Default Carbon Fiber Trunk??

Does anybody know of a company that makes a carbon fiber trunk lid for a 96-97 Accord?

Has that actually come out yet? I know that they were "making" them, but wasn't sure if it made it to production.

I don't know, I tried emailing Fiber Images about it but the email address posted on their website is invalid. Great way to run a business.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting one, but from everyone that's tried to contact Fiber Images, no one has gotten an answer, and if they have, it hasn't been a straight answer.

accords are bias toward the front anyway, right? So what good would increasing that bias do? Maybe im off base and I'm sure someone will correct me if im wrong but i would think for normal (and) cheaper purposes moving the battery to the trunk or something simple like that would be better. Unless, of course, you want it b/c it would be cool. Which it would.
