Well finally picked up the final piece of carbon fiber for my exterior in the form of a carbon fiber trunk. Some of you guys may not like it, but I think it ties in perfectly with my overall theme, not to mention it only weighs 7 lbs. Yes boys and girls 7 pounds.







Here's a picture of the stock trunk w/ wing on the scale:



yes, it weighs in at 18lbs, pretty light to begin with, but 18lbs vs. 7 lbs. do the math.

Here's a picture of the scale with the new carbon fiber trunk, 7lbs:



Thanks to NGORX8 for helping out with the install and special thanks to WIng5 for the great pictures.

 

thats pretty nice and love the weight lost! good color combination! red and black!

 

thanks!

 

Looks good, I miss my civic Coupe with that setup. Have you thought about painted the roof black in between the rain gutter thingys to set it off more?

 

that thing looks MEAN!

 

I like it, especially with the VR color.. Where did you get it from?

 

its from seibon....the fit is ok...it can sit a little lower but cant expect much from cf trunks and hoods

 

o . O cool beans

 

you really need to get that CF toilet now.


looks good man. i bet it looks great in person.

 

Looks good, that would look real slick on a BB Rx8.

 

nice!

did the cf hood make as big a weight difference?

 

on a car I dont think anyone could really take advantage of a 11lb weight loss but that combined with the 27lbs I lost, thats almost 40 lbs less driving around =)

 

Damn that's light weight

 

That looks good dude :D

and LOL @ the "Baby on board" thing in your rear windscreen

 

in a month it will be very true...haha i have a recaro baby seat waiting to put in! haha

 

i would love to have a cf toilet in the trunk, imagine your *** parked in the trunk doing the # 2. hahaha

 

Looks badass on your car.

 

thank you ***** hay

 

Ah congrats dude, hope it all goes well

Recaro baby seat... it has to be!!! My kids will ride in nothing less!! :p

 

Haha Thanks Nsanity!

 

No problems.

Does the baby seat have any Carbon Fiber in it??? I'm sure some of their baby seats do! :D

 

if i had the money thats exactly wut i would do to my sunlight silver....cf on hood and trunk

 

if not, i have a few rolls of carbon fiber sticker that I can wrap it with..hahahaa

 

DEEDUBB,
1) Trunk looks great, I like!
2) Get your rest now, you'll be a zombie once the baby arrives.
3) Did you see my other post about the Recaro seat? Make sure you have a rear facing infant seat for your newborn. The Recarco child seats that I've seen were all front facing for 18 lbs and up.

 

good lookin out man, yea, the recaro seat wont see seat time for a while..hahaha I picked up a new peg perego seat with matching stroller from baby's r us..i might throw some carbon fiber stickers on the tubing of the stroller..ahhaha
