Yea I posted on wishoc trying to buy one not expecting anything but afte rlike 2 weeks a guy said he had one, picked it up that day. They are so hard to find and are $600 new... so I could sell it for $400 easily and make money so it is a win win.

Photoshoot time! This makes me want to buy one. Ebay has the Seibons for like $550 shipped, a little too much for me at this time. If i can find one local for like $350, I would be jumping on it.

Pics of the entire back end with the CF trunk as sfazn suggested?

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, been raining all day so I parked the car in the garage to do some work. I think it is supposed to rain again tomorrow but if there's a break I'll take it out for a few pics. And I agree with you cv, I would never spend $550 for a new one, same deal with a hood. That's why I am looking for used, and couldn't believe I came across this trunk lol.

Here's a few more pics. Started woking on my rear bumper I got at the junk yard. It is half spray painted black right now, eventually getting paint matched. But black looks better than silver. Gave the trunk a nice wax, looks awesome.

Sweet. I would have figured that the license plate holder piece would have been CF too. Thats why I was sitting here staring at it going "why do I think this looks different?" haha

I kinda want to go carbon fiber crazy now just cause it looks so awesome lol. I'm going to do my center counsel cf, just cause I wear out the fabric on there so quick. So I'm going to buy a kit online and wrap it, should turn out pretty sweet I think. I just need a hood and I'm going to order some Spoon stlye carbon fiber mirrors. Getting ones that are real cf and that just the mirror part is cf, not the whole triangle and everything. I was thinking about how cf side moldings would look...

Eeh dont go overboard with the CF stuff mann.

These are the things that could be CF on a car and still look good:
CF hood
CF trunk lid
CF mirors
CF front lip
CF grille

Thats about it imo but how would you even do the CF side moldings? just wrap em?

*Edit: a CF gas cap would look prety kool if they make them.
