dbchun · 02-06-2009, 11:14 PM

a little OT, but what is the difference in structural rigidity between the single layer and double layer carbon fiber products?

Russo · 02-06-2009, 11:32 PM

id like to see it on the grey color

jkp1187 · 02-07-2009, 08:16 AM

Waiting for the "anti-///M badge on a car that wasn't a factory ///M" crowd to begin howling...

Is this the same "dry" carbon fiber that the replacement sunroof was made out of?

Andrew@ET · 02-07-2009, 03:10 PM

This is not dry carbon like the other products.

Single sided dry carbon will have a thin layer of fiberglass for strength opposed to double sided with is carbon front and back 100%

Bump

Citizen Z · 02-14-2009, 12:42 PM

Can you post the installation instructions or a DIY so we can guage how hard it is to install? Also, what is the weight difference from OEM? I assume this is just the shell and customers will have to transfer over all the latchwork, the wiring, pneumatic assist etc, correct?

fmxomar · 02-14-2009, 12:52 PM

dude are you going to post the weight savings vs stock ? who would buy this unless they knew that answer ...

Andrew@ET · 02-14-2009, 01:22 PM

Let me try and get a stock trunk to weigh.

This trunk is going to be lighter but it's more cosmetic if true weight savings are what your looking for your going to want a dry carbon trunk which is in the works.

Andrew@ET · 02-14-2009, 01:35 PM

Yes it is just the trunk you will have to switch everything over.

oh okay lol well why does it say "much lighter than stock"

Has this been test fitted unlike the splitters ???

im not sure if its the pics but is this really "perfect fitment" because it looks like there is no gap at the top of the left side of the trunk but then looks like theres a big gap on the right

Andrew@ET · 02-14-2009, 02:56 PM

Yes they are test fitted the trunk is installed in the picture all trunks and hoods need to be adjusted even oem parts. It is much lighter than oem I was comparing this trunk to a dry carbon trunk

Andrew@ET · 02-15-2009, 10:52 PM

fmxomar we measured the sides and the gaps are exactly even and the same as oem.

Fits like a glove!

fmxomar · 02-16-2009, 03:26 AM

o really well thats good news, but you still need to get the stock vs this weight.
also curious whos car did you test it on ? you said you didnt have a test car

Endre · 02-16-2009, 03:48 AM

Im also interested if the weight is good.
Im only after weight sawings, so it will be painted and it should look stock if i am going to buy it.

MrHick · 02-16-2009, 07:48 AM

Interested in this and the Hood.

Weight Saving Pls ??????

Endre · 02-16-2009, 07:54 AM

Couldnt find any info about weight on their site either... Would be interested if the weight is seriusly redused on the trunk and hood. The one is too heavy!

Andrew@ET · 02-16-2009, 10:03 AM

Should have the weight for both today ! Fitted on the 135 in the picture.
