2point4 Ion
Friday, April 09, 2010 6:36 PM
Finally put my carbon fiber trunk on, yes its gay that its only the top but I plan on having the other part wrapped. Car is lowered on B+G springs until I get their coilovers. Wheels were bought in gold with a polished lip, painted them dark bronze gloss polished, and now bronze matte cleared. Tires were 225/45/17 BFGoodrich g-Force KDW NTs but are now 245/45/17 Falken Azenis RT-615's talk about meaty! The car isn't a Redline, its a 2.4 and the plan has always been turbo. The car has only has an Injen intake because I will be going 3" exhaust for the turbo and don't want to buy a bunch of stuff I'm going to get rid of.















Hope you enjoyed the crappy Droid pics...

I love IONs..... my friends mom has an older base model 5 speeds 2 door and it is a quick and fun little ride..... I would loooove to drive a redline, i bet they are pretty quick considering how quick the base model is...

Pics of the trunk I took before I installed the wheels, I still need to align it, change the tension rod settings and cut a hole to install the lock cylinder.

I like the trunk but you really cant tell too much that it is CFed untill you are really close cause it goes with the color so closely.

Nevar! But I do want to paint a 1/8" or 1/4" line on edges of the trunk, then have CF laid on rear or trunk like this:

then paint the part where the bottom of the tails end, oh and I want that freakin spoiler. It's too bad RKSport didn't make that trunk piece. Might paint a 1/8" to a 1/4" line around the sides and front of hood as well as the underside. But this is when I come into money, which wont be in the near future lol.

The trunk itself is fiberglass with a CF top, and with the other piece on I can lift it with 2 fingers. The stock hood and trunk were both metal so yes I saved quite a bit of weight and eff what haters say I like the look of a CF weave...

I like the trunk the way it is. I would describe it as a nice touch.

I'm a fan of the Ion. I'd drive your car.
