looking good! SleK is rolling out some nice parts. The 1er community should be jumping all over these pieces soon enough. Especially now with the 1M out should be a hot seller. Love the double sided cf. Great work!

Is the entire trunk made of CF?
If yes, how much weight saving are we talking about?
If not, what's the purpose of having CF finish on the inside?

Yes double sided CF decreases the weight of any piece. SleK hasn't done their own weighting yet but from a past forum thread regarding trunk weights these were the numbers:

OEM trunk: 33 lbs

Single Sided Carbon Trunk: 13 lbs

Single Double Sided Carbon Trunk: 9.7 lbs

It will be near iCarbon's pricing for both the single sided and double sided trunk even though all of SleK's parts are made in America so it actually costs SleK more $ to make them here but it's worth the extra quality.

The tail is bigger / more pronounced. Also the curve on it is a bit different. When you see one in person you will see what I mean. Easily able to tell in person.

Judging from the angle of the first pic, looks way too high IMO. What about some side shot?

+1. Makes me think which is the center piece? The roundel or the 3rd light?

front lip looks good but the trunk looks way to high, +1 on side angle pics and could you post a pic of the lip of the trunk? the icarbon trunk's lip is ~1" thick, this one looks like it's really thin...
