The only other one I know about is JSP. I tried talking Carbon by Design into making one, but no go.
Does Class Glass still make them? I thought I just saw one for sale on a website the other day. I'll look again. I like Class Glass because it's completely shaved.

yes class glass does make them, however they put a black gel coat over all of their cf parts now.

Curiosity will kill me, but why do they do that, what's the advantage?

dont quote me on it because i forget but if you search you can find the answer on it but i believe its because they say the parts are for race only and i believe the weave is not perfect so to cover themselves they put a black gel coat over the parts.
the real reason was because ppl bitching about the weave not being perfect. they wont even do one in clear gel coat for $1000.

GlassClass trunks are real carbon fiber.. not fiberglass wrapped with carbon fiber, hence why they have a black gel coat now because like said, people were complaining about the weaves not being perfect. I believe most of the hood and trunks out there are fiberglass wrapped with c/f. I have a Classglass trunk and its great, no weave problems, but there is a black gelcoat on the bend on the back of the trunk where it goes down, prolly being where they had the weave get off from the bend, but its not really noticeable and actually blends in with the c/f. Also, I can hold the trunk up and wherever carbonfiber understructure isn't on the underside, i can actually see light through the weave. This is a old trunk tho, im talking bout like 3-4yrs old if i remember right. Skilz is the only other member on here i knew who also had one, dunno if he still does tho.
I don't really have any good pics of it tho, it still hasn't made its way to being installed

Also, back on original topic, all i know if is ViS, JSP, and ClassGlass. Then the link i guess posted above, also i know in a thread in Mid-east or Mid-central cant remember, a guy had a c/f trunk for sale and it was another brand cant remember. But really thats all there is, and now u can no longer get them in the fully smooth version like mine is, with the visible weave. ViS and JSP make theres with inner tails and ViS also has the lock on theres, JSP has the shaved lock.. Xcelerated Concepts also has inners but shaved lock.
