Question Hmm CF spoiler or no..
Updates.. took my car into the shop that Jerry referred me to and got the rear pulled a bit. It's not completely fixed because I'm not ready to get full body work yet. Here's how it looks:







Decided to throw on the CF trunk I picked up from Jerry and it turned out ok. Fitment wasn't so hot but that may be due to existing damage on the car.








I got a spoiler too, and I'm having trouble deciding what I like.. I used to hate the spoilerless look, but this CF trunk looks hotttt.











What do you guys think?

Are you planning to paint over the carbon fiber?

That cf spolier kind of completes the look I think.
Flows better than just having the cf trunk by itself.
However, if you want ultimate lightness just stick with the trunk by itself of course.

I think carbon fiber trunks and spoilers are just totally gay..




lol j/k, I think any of the options are going to look good imo, one thing i'll tell you is those CF parts are gonna look like crap in a couple years and the fitment probably won't be the best even after the car is fixed, I know my CF trunk nor anyone elses i've seen in person fit that great.. mine has a slightly bigger gap on one side.. I did find out that trunk shocks that won't hold up a stock trunk very well work Mint on my CF trunk

Go no spoiler! Well you can always drill in holes when you do want to go.. but when you have a spoiler you cant go back!

I don't think I'm going to paint it.. I'm going to pick up an OEM set up so I can swap it if I feel like going all black. As for now, I will slap that CF spoiler on.

Thanks for the opinions guys!
