I think ATLP was thinking of making a CF trunk but it was going to be big money, I think in the $750 range.

People have different needs and different styles. Not all people like the performance aspect. Also an aesthetic ding can be annoying as hell when you see it everyday.

If you do the Carbon Fiber trunk, you've got to do the CF hood and black out the roof-just to get the "full effect".

lol "not that guy" lol. being a luxury car, why would i want to go make it fast? stlye and profile lol. if i was still into modding i would have stayed with my supra and turbo sc300. i did alot of go fast stuff in the past, i want to dip my toe into a new adventure......but the pre cats have crossed my mind lol

Give me about 2 days and I'll post up a pic of how a CF hood looks on a NBP. That' will give you kind of a idea of what a trunk would look like as well
