Default Replica Ventross Trunk

I'm not really sure how I feel about this, on one hand I have searched high and low for a Ventross trunk and of course have come up with nothing, which is quite frustrating. Those of you who are lucky enough to own them have waiting lists 15 people deep for the trunk if it ever comes off the car. So for someone like me you would think I would be jumping up and down for this. But for one I kind of like the exclusivity of the Ventross, and two who knows how this will fit, or for that matter even handle a hard impact in the case of an accident. So Club Lexus I know one of you is down to bite the bullet, it's not going to be me since I have my own trunk project at the moment, but whoever it is, let us know how it goes!

Nice find! CarID is a reliable place to buy products. It sounds like its made well. I would jump on it if I had a car still without a spoiler.

You know I'm out there with a magnifying glass trying to track down one of these lol. I had the thought to do it, but I'm still in the middle of my trunk project on a spare trunk that cost me a pretty penny .

I really need to start paying more attention to the vendor thread But thank you, it looks to be well made which at least puts to rest my thoughts on the impact side of things.

Harrison has been looking for a real one for a while but if you read his 2nd post he said he's got a trunk project going on with an extra trunk he has.

So how could you tell the difference between a replica and a authentic ventross trunk?

Probably hard to tell. I've only seen a handful here in the forum and one in person.

Here's Noz and Rash who had it.
