Any other reason to do this other than looks? The stock trunk lid is so light I'd imagine swapping to CF might save minimal weight.

well $500 for it doesnt mean its cheap. maybe they do a ton of carbon fiber work and got a mold already made out and they make it in house. who knows, someone who did my motorcyle cf parts does it in house and does an amazing job, charges me close to nothing for the parts, when i know i could turn around and sell for a profit.

but none the less
someone should try it if they are looking for the black theme. or two tone theme

thats a chinese trunk, the maker is on www.alibaba.com
If there was enough interest they said would make the trunk with-out the inner tail-lights, I think that would be cool. I cant vouch for fitment though? Can someone send these guys a tte lip so they can make one out of CF too please
