ok guys and gals i have recently installed the carbon by design turbo sport hood and i dont really think anyone truely understands the quality that carbon by design puts into thier product. The hood is the most amazing aftermarket piece i have ever layed my eyes on. This being said, i would like to see if there would be any interest in having carbon by design produce a carbon fiber trunk lid. I know that not everyone is interested in having a trunk made of carbon fiber, but let me just draw you a mental picture. Carbon by designs hood has a full one piece underside unlike VIS which upon opening reveals a nasty mess of cut out fiber glass. Secondly the carbon fiber used by carbon by design is an aero-space material that can be found on many aircraft. Other companys use a less expensive, lesser quaility carbon fiber which would never last as long and i can gaurentee the UV gelcoat is not as abundant. Basicly i was informed by someone at carbon by design that a mold for a trunk lid would cost them around 4,000 dollars. There has to be a decsent amount of feedback in order for them to produce this product. Please respond to this post and also if interested email carbon by design.
I personaly would realy like to have a trunk of the same quality as my hood. Thank you for taking the time to read this long @$$ post and i look foward to everyones feedback.
with money in hand i would 100% be in for a cf trunk lid with shaved tails and keyhole
or if at bare minimum shaved keyhole

just a stock trunk lid as far as i know not shaved (some of us dont have trunk poppers).
id be in for a fully shaved cf lid.
problem with this is now youre going to look at a 3 different styles and they wont go for that.. molds are expensive....
shaved
shaved lock
stock
but either way i'm sure it would be pretty

only way id prolly get one that was like stock is if it was a real good deal. otherwise it would have to at least have the keyhole shaved

i'd have to go for a shaved trunk and I'd be interested.
I'm with Eazy on this one id be down for a fully shaved trunklid or even one with the lock shaved but probably not a stock one unless it was a killer price.
i would be down for one with a shaved lock
Whats up people?
what is their website? id like to check out some hoods
Whats up people?
Id be interested to get a fully shaved trunk or at least a shaved lock trunk. Already have a VIS one, real nice quality but if this one when shown to me is of better quality then im down for buying another one. I could sell the VIS in 2 seconds to at least 3 kids in my area.

kool but has anyone emailed them yet? if we r interested we need to do so come on guys i want a trunk!
the email for CBD is contact@carbonbydesign.com so email em and lets get a trunk made! i just talked to jim at gravanatuning.com and i want everyone to do a google search on the government and carbonfiber apparently the us government is gonna be limmiting the use of cf because the want all production to be devoted to millitary use which means every carbon piece that u have is gonna double in value! but this also means buying new cf products will become more expensive so lets hurry up and get this trunk made while we can afford it! also we dont need to worrie about what style we want because they can make all three : stock,shaved keyhole and fullyshaved with the same mold they just use filler pieces in the light holes annd keyholes so there shouldnt be anything holding us back now except price but trust me whatever the price will be in the longrun it will be worth every penny of it email carbon by design NOW!!!
Thats not true. Military grade Carbon Fiber doesn't even look like carbon fiber that is on cars and bikes. It's not the same. The stuff we use on B-1s here at Dyess looks dark grey.
Here's your Google Search.

Don't worry people. Carbon FIber isn't going to shoot up in price. At least not due to the military.

well i was told that the government was limiting it for some special weapons stuff or something get jim at gravana to explain he knows more about it than me and he said you can find it on google i havent looked myself so im sorry if i offended you A.15 ive been too bust tryng to on the org. trying to raise interest for this trunk to surf the web again i am sorry im not trying to argue with anyone i was just going on what i was told and my source has never lied before but i know it had nothing to do with B-1s
dude that is the biggest run-on sentence I ever read!
The only punctuation was in A.15's name!
Just bustin' yer chops - please take no offense, Geoffrey
hahahaha
Seriously, I'm sure that there's plenty of CF for everyone. You did have me worried for a sec!
