Default Ultra Sonic Blue Mica with Ventross Carbon Fiber Boot Lid

Well...I decided to get the Ventross Carbon Fiber Boot Lid (single sided) since I was going to paint it anyways. Wow...when I got the trunk...I was thinking of not painting it since it was already nice...but I thought it would be a little to ricey on my car...so I had it "custom" painted at Longo Collision Repair Center. They blended the rear quarter panels of my car with the trunk so the paint job is top notch! The carbon fiber trunk weighs about 11lbs for the single sided one...which is roughly 15lbs lighter than the stock trunk. I took the camera, lights, and wires from my stock trunk and moved it onto the Ventross trunk...and man was it hard...T-rex06 helped me on it...and good thing he has small hands!!! hahahaha Well here are the pictures of my car...enjoy!

Looks awesome! Very subtle but classy. I like how the CF peeks out from your emblem. Dude the paint matching is immaculate! I heard that USB is hard to match. Looks clean without the "Lexus" and the "IS" but maybe you should keep the F on there for intimidation factor.

I really like the lines!! I'll have to get one of these for my obsidian. By the way, I was looking at the tail lights and the way they line up with the section on the trunk. Is your trunk closed all the way? It looks like it could close a little more so that the tail light portion lines up.

Looks really really good! For reference, where did you order the trunk from? The paint and CF look awesome and go well with the car

I was thinking this as well....perhaps it's just my eyesight but the lights on the trunk and car don't look matched up

heh I posted on the 2nd post that the trunk had to be realigned...I should have it done by this week...heh This is due to the trunk being lighter than the stock one so adjustments have to be made to make it line up...

only the top is carbon fiber while the interior of the trunk is fiberglass...Ventross has two version...the single sided carbon fiber...or the double sided carbon fiber...
