just get the carbon fiber hood and leave the trunk stock.

Nahh i like the carbon fiber trunk from vis that just came out, it saves weight thats about it.

well first off i would need to repair the holes in my trunk since im changing wings so that would just be wasted money that i could put toward a trunk that im yet to see anyone in phoenix has on any car, mm individual lolol

import_tuner19

you'd be unique for a while then everybody will get the C/F trunk lid.

Tyrael6666

lol yah, id go to the races the first night having it and everyone would be like "**** HOLMES DATS TIGHT IMA GET ONE!" i swear to god that wil be the exact phrase, ive heard similar about my wing cause i guess its that hard to tell its not REAL carbon fiber... LOL people are blind

import_tuner19

thats why im painting my car black before i get the C/F parts that way its hard to tell if theyre carbon or not. I like stealth speed

Tyrael6666

im stayin white, so i can clash colors real bad...and oh yah im too cheap to paint my car im more focused on cheap cosmetics and my turbo kit lol

I just dont like my dark green plus like i said earlier im takin the Shadow theme to my car Black with red accents inside and out.

Tyrael6666

since u arnt going to put shadow ouside on black why not get red racing seats and put a pic like the one in ur avatar into the racing seats, like have its stitched in.

if your out for handling, im sure weight loss would be great. IMO, having a 50/50 ratio is better than losing maybe 15 lbs. if you get the hood only, and keep the OEM trunk, you would be closer to 50/50. i believe stock pros are 54/46 or something... and if i remember correctly, getting mattys SC would also help you lose some front end weight!


but im just ranting here

Tyrael6666

lol im out for looks/hidden power, after much debating im not putting a body kit on my car, im gonna keep it looking all stock cept an evo carbon fiber hood trunk and wing, oh and lowering springs and rims later on, but im gonan try to make it look like im just a ricer so people walk right into a trap and get eaten alive by my turbo, man that would feel good lol

Stueck

i believe that may be the best approach, lol. everyone knows ricers have no power.

Can you put a wing on a C/F lid? I thought I heard it isn't strong enough sometimes and cracks if you put it under to much presure.

Stueck

well, my fathers miata trunk is factory stock aluminum (sp?). his wing is plastic, but you cannot tell. if you slam the trunk down you could dent it, so i believe you could dent CF also if you tried enough.

That is a good idea i just have to find someone who can do that and BAM i got some unique seats. Thanks for the idea!!!!
