Very nice!
How is the fitment/install and build quality of the trunk? IMO, i Wouldn’t paint it.seems like a waste to cover up the carbon, I could see if you’re more concerned about weight reduction than looks. I would however get color matched side markers. |

I would probably paint, but leave some of the vents exposed and maybe the lip of the trunk.

I think I’d paint it. It looks good bare but it will be cool to that when you come in close u see the painted carbon fiber.
If u didn’t paint wound the fiber panels yellow ? |

I mean generally a good quality piece wont be too bad, but you need to constantly maintain it and continuously wax and keep it perfect.

yea, i think im on the same boat as you bro. I mean again dont get me wrong, i dont absolutely hate it like this especially because i dont daily it, but for now im leaving it like this until i decide exactly how i want to paint it. Im leaning more to paint match it and then leave some carbon exposed, still thinking though

I once saw a hood where it was mostly painted then maybe 6" from windshield faded into carbon, it looked really slick but assume it takes some skill to do.
On trunk I'd do something similar but have the underside of the spoiler section exposed and fading to red towards the plate. Just an idea.

Did you just drill into the hood for the oem latch points? All I see is it requiring hood pins online.

Yea, there are holes on it so you can reuse your oem latches.
