Please keep us updated on this. I am interested in this application as well. Personally, even more so if it was a direct replacement for the glass alone and was still functional.

Ok will do!

NGL I’m excited about the trunk and other stuff

I really appreciate the efforts your putting in to push the platform. It all adds up!

Just an update for everyone following this product, got the trunk installed yesterday and have a carbon fiber drag wing with splitter support rods in the works that will be added to the trunk to wrap up the weight reduction in the rear end.

Here is a sneak preview of the prototype 100% CF trunk I have been slowly working on most of this year. I would like to say first and foremost this is not a show car part and is a race car part built for the purpose of weight reduction, and as such only weighs 12lbs compared to the stock trunk assembly at 45lbs. Secondly this is still just the prototype and not what a production run would necessarily look like, as this has been a huge learning curve on my end in the composite part creation world but I hope to offer SHO specific trunks, hoods and fenders all from CF at some point once I am happy with the surface finish and have tested the parts at the track.

I would like to thank @802SHO, @DadMobile, & @Ecoboost_xsport for all the advise in regards to the finished product's quality as there were multiple times I wanted to throw in the towel when portions of the fiberglass mold and CF part process did not turn out perfectly on the first try.

Stay tuned for more pictures as this endeavor progresses!

Is it easy to make I want to do this so bad to mine

How much for material?

You will need a spare trunk for the mold. I bought all materials from composite envisions. Give me a call if you’d like to discuss. It’s a lot of work but doable if You have the time and patience

For sure need to. I love the carbon trunk and trim delete look
