Anyone else with a carbon fiber trunk experience any heat warping?
When the sun isn't on it and it's not hot the ends near the window curl down and when it's hot it curls up

My trunk does that. It was one of the first ones made. One of the front corners would be about a 1/2 inch lower when cold and perfect when hot.

Yeah that's what mine does... do you think some paint will change that? Or maybe reinforcements?

I have repaired one of my cf hoods so I have spare carbon fiber and resin. Maybe some reinforcing might help in the right spots.
Honestly with my experiences with carbon fiber I'll never buy another. I also got a glass hood and it's perfect. Solid. No sagging and looks better
