its funny because i would never smoke my blinkers or change my roundel colors, but a painted CSL style trunk i would definitely do.
Diff strokes for diff folks then i guess

Dont be an ass please, I wasnt speaking in regards to just the trunk if ud have read my earlier post, EVERYONE on this thread was goin nuts about basically CFing everything on the car, even interior items. AND talking more about the weight savings than looks as far as I could see...so what are YOU babbling about sir? To them I say just go out n buy a whole new car with all that money n get a completely diff look if thats what theyre after. I happen to love the color I specifically chose, dont feel like adding CF pieces all over for thousands MORE, sorry just doesnt do it for me. But I also have others things i need the money for..

P.S. And honestly it wasnt my intent to drag this thread into some offsides battle over personal opinion, I was just giving mine, end o story. Please keep going on bout it if you like, I will not be in respect to the OP.

You do realize that CF can be painted right? Yes exactly, different strokes for different folks so why are you here putting down a very nicely made part if you're not interested? I don't go into the smoke your blinkers and roundel colors threads and tell everyone I think that is stupid, because I don't care what other people do their cars. I'm not being an ass. You're the one in here ragging on fellow 1addicts for making cosmetic mods to their cars whilst making incorrect statements about the negative effects these parts will have on performance.

That's true. I want this trunk but I'm going to wait until I receive parts i've already paid for before I sign up and pay for more parts. I hope they make a hood to compliment the trunk.

Didn't they say back on page 2 that they won't do start any sales until they actually have the products in stock????? I think they are learning from their mistakes.

I just hope that when they do decide to ship out the product, that its not the same time I am in the middle of moving out of Europe. Im going to try not to order anything a month or two before I move.

Dear ICARBON,

I don't care what anyone says. I can wait for this trunk and I am ready to pay. I am a return customer. Please give us updates when available.

Thank You,
John

incredibly minimal visibility blocking if any From the rear-view it looks almost the same an OEM performance spoiler would, but just a tad bit more.

We took pics from inside the car showing rear-view shot, but it's still being processed!

Some of the Mustang guys put full louvers on the rear windows, I don't know how they can drive!!!!!!
