Carbon trunk lid legal in B stock?
I have a really damaged up trunk lid and have been considering replacing it with a carbon fiber trunk instead of repairing it or buying a new OEM one.

I plan on trying out autocross this summer, is this a legal mod?

the only way it would make a difference on your car is if your stock trunk came with a wing. If I remember correctly the stock trunk with wing weighed in at 30 something lbs...the stock trunk without wing is only a few lbs heavier than the CF trunk.. good luck though

As an FYI, the stock wing and attachment hardware weighs in at 3 lbs.

the entire aero Appearance package is very light, I was a bit shocked by how light

I have an OE trunk lid in Whitewater Pearl/Snowflake White paint I'd be happy to make the OP a deal on.

MSCC has a bunch of good guys, but sometimes the rules are a little wonky though!

How long have you been racing there?
