Thanks man! Will do. I plan on installing the intake this weekend. I'm going to try to do a DIY with video.

Please include the weight difference in the iCarbon trunk from OEM. Thanks!

bogart · 05-10-2011, 10:03 PM

-Stock trunk about 40 lbs
-iCarbon double sided CF trunk about 9 lbs

I will get official measurements this weekend.

Vectors2final · 05-10-2011, 10:23 PM

Holy, shit! That's pretty good.

bogart · 05-10-2011, 10:43 PM

Just measured the CF trunk at 9.8 lbs. Some say it weighs 9.7 lbs, so probably +/- 0.1 lbs to be realistic. It is light as hell for such a big piece. You can pick it up with one finger.

Vectors2final · 05-10-2011, 10:54 PM

I wonder how much paint would be.... And paint for the hood.

bogart · 05-10-2011, 11:22 PM

Probably a couple hundred bucks if you had them painted before they were on the car.

I think he was asking how much weight the paint on the hood and trunk would add. I was wondering the same thing. Even if paint adds 5-10 lbs, that's still a damn good weight loss. Not to mention it looks

I actually meant cost, wise, but I couldn't see paint weighing that much. Somewhere around 10 ounces would seem reasonable.

It weighs enough that the Ferrari F40 only has one coat...

I think it is... the paint is so thin you can see the CF weave underneath!

Normally I'm not a huge fan of unpainted CF parts, but for some reason it's working really well on SG... now all you need is a CF hood/diffuser/lip... it never ends does it!?

Any plans to paint the CF or just leaving it as is? Looks great either way I think!
