CF Trunk Group Buy Feeler Thread

Since starboy has a potential to do these, I wanted to start a poll and just get an idea of how many people are interested, I will closely monitor this thread. As of right now, there is NO promise of a CF trunk being created, nor is there any vendor on here ready to provide one, we simply want to see if we have the minimum interest for him to present to his shop that would be making them. He needs a minimum of 15 definite people, he will update with more info, and I've asked him to update with more specifics and a possible price range to get an idea of what we're dealing with, but keep in mind that a custom job like this WILL NOT BE CHEAP so if you're not serious, or don't have the money, please don't post, we need an idea if there will be real interest or not.

In anticipation, if this is going down any time soon i'll save my money and sell some stuff to set aside the necessary funds to get it. Like silver said, i missed out on the hood i aint missing out on this.

Ok.

From what I understand, this company makes CF Bodies for Nascar and is a IN-HOUSE shop. Which means, nothing gets sent to china and then shipped back. So I'm assuming that this will also contribute to the pricing.

For anyone whos thinking of doing something custom, involving CF, its possible, but as you know, money talks.

Keep in mind, NOTHING IS SET IN STONE, at least for now. Until I get the actual details, please poll in so I know what kind of interest we are looking at and that will determine if this will go thru or not. Ive said everything that I know for now and will update you as soon as I get a update.

No, we don't have a vendor to sell them, I'm still not sure how the vendor status for this gb would work, but I want kumar to find out the details before we go down that path, however we are not doing another CF hood gb unless you can bring a vendor to this site, CF hoods are available on ebay

CF Trunk?? Not a fan.. CF hoods are awesome, CF spoilers are cool, but CF trunks? Next thing you know we'll have CF bumpers and doors.. Maybe with a CF hood but just a CF trunk is just plain weird. I think blackack and Asianspec could deff pull it off though.

and I'm assuming this will be a one time deal if it even happens, I'm not even crazy about the idea of a cf trunk, never been a fan, but I could def make it work, and it would be something unique

I hope you guys can get this. I don't think I can pull off the look even if I get a CF hood.

UPDATE:

This one particular place does high end wrapping. IE: Ferrari, Lambos, speed boats, racing cars.

For a Complete MOLD, they want 5gs. and off of that mold, then they can make any number of trunks. By the end of the week, I'll have somethings sorted out with several CF companies.

Not looking good as of rite now.

ROFL, half a dozen cl's rolling down without trunks, or can you fit the trunk in the trunk? cause then a cruise would make for a decent cover coming back across the border.

^seems like it, but 500 isn't that high, i dunno, i thought it would be more than that, maybe they just didn't trust the OP, he has under 100 posts and was gonna get everyone to pay him, and then he would pay the company

FYI: a trunk can fit in your back seat lol...

Minor Update: this deal has to be in cash. So if anyone knows how paypal works and the limit and blah blah blah just pm me or post it. The guy was like its going to be expensive... But we'll see... Just gotta keep positive...

it can fit in the back seat but if you cross the border they'll question it but if it'll fit in the trunk then you'll have a better chance of getting away with it..
