Yea yea i know its carbon fiber but looks black. Whats wrong with putting a black trunk?? Sure a CF trunk is the way to go sense painting the trunk cost about the same as a CF trunk but whats wrong if someone likes just black? Me personally, my wife don't like CF (even tho she has never seen it in person) so if i were to let her convince me whats wrong with it?? What if i still lived in Phoenix and painting it would be much easier then a CF hood were i would constanly have to worry and making sure it didnt turn yellow??? hmmmmmm,mmmmmmmmmm

^ Not for the weak? What are the pros/cons of having a +22 offset like that?

you need to do some fender mods if your planning on lowering. shave or roll the rear fenders, heat gun the front fender lining, and mod that damn tire shredding tab that connects the fender to the bumper.

Tab mod is a must. You don't need to roll or shave depending on the offsets. Can't wait to put the summer wheels back on next week!

So what are some good offsets if I plan on having a moderate drop on coilovers (just to close the wheel gap, not looking to tuck), but NOT have major fender mods (preferably not even the tab, if it's possible)?
