Would you take some pics of the inside of the lid? I'd like to see the underside. Thanks.

does the trunk now catapult itself up in the air when you open it? I've had a few CF trunk lids and the tension bars that open the trunk are usually way to much for a lighten trunk lid.

yeah...i have to do a little adjustments so it doesn't do that and to align the trunk with the rest of the body...

"The carbon fiber trunk weighs about 11lbs for the single sided one...which is roughly 15lbs lighter than the stock trunk. "
I guess I would say from what I read, that the stock trunk weighs roughly 26 lbs..
The Ventross One sided Carbon Fiber weighs 11 lbs

Weight savings is roughly 15 lbs..
