Default The Trunk

Honestly how much does the trunk weight? its like at least 1,100 pounds. I got ****ing clocked in the head by it trying to get some measurements. I saw this:



and it made me wonder, I know someone who could make a few of those out of carbon fiber or fiberglass as long as it wasn't just 1 for me. I know it sounds silly but i really want one. Would anyone be interested? (priced around $200-300)

I personally don't think that flows right with our timeless cars... That looks better on a SC and IS.

wow only 200-300. thats really cheap. but i will have to pass too. i admit the trunk is like 1000 lbs and trying to slip your fingers between the crack to open it does suck. especially when your struts are going dead and its dangerous to open your trunk up without holding one hand on there.
