I think you can get them unfinished trunk for cheap. I had mine polished and finished with 8 layers of clean coat. Give them a call. They are great to work with.

I was looking at that site because it was literally the only company I could find with a carbon trunk, I decided against buying one. I have carbon mirrors and hood (on it's way to my house) so, I will do the GMG carbon roof, vivid racing rear diffusor and VIS carbon front lip this winter.

Shiftin- look forward to your mods, just a note..

looks like you have the GT2 "Add on" wing which is similar to mine, a true GT2 rear trunk is a full one piece integrated unit, there is no wing that sits on top of another piece like our C4S does. It all flows almost upwards in one piece. I've seen this too and like both styles- this might of hindered in your search options vs a true GT2 rear vs. the add on.

Also - congrats on the mods i'm sure it will look great! what exactly is the VIS front lip..

Thanks 150, my wing is the add on. I was hoping that actually would benefit me in this case. I was hoping the lower part would come in carbon and I could bolt the top to it. I guess I am going to be out of luck when it comes to that.

I am excited for the build coming up this winter. Last night I finished the suede/leather interior and next week I should have my carbon hood in. I am going to hold off on the rest of the build until this winter seeing I haven't driven my car since the beginning of June. I want to enjoy the car for fall, it's my favorite time of the year to drive the car. But, once the sand hits the roads it's back to work on my baby. I plan to do the carbon roof first then the carbon rear diffuser and front carbon lip. I saw on vivids website carbon airducts for our bumpers. I am thinking of possibly doing those also. I am just having a hard time grasping the thought of spending over a grand for bumper airducts.
