carbon fiber trunk

I just purchased a carbon fiber hood for my C4s and soon will be ordering the carbon roof. I have been searching for a carbon trunk also and the link below is all I can seem to find. My question is, I have aGT2 soiler on my car now so, will my spoiler bolt onto this trunk?

It depends on how sturdy it is. Does it have the factory pre-drill locations? Why a Carbon Fiber roof. Does it glue on (bush) or are you going to replace the existing roof. If you're not going to replace and install, it doesn't do anything but waste money. How about the hood? That will save you weight.

I already ordered a carbon hood, I am waiting for that to come in as we speak. The roof is made by GMG racing. It's an actual carbon roof, its not the 3m sticker. I provided a link below of the roof. I want to try and find a carbon trunk to go with it also. I also plan on doing a front carbon lip and a carbon rear diffuser. I already have carbon mirrors on the car. I personaly like the look carbon gives to a car. I was going to do a 997 front end but, I decided to spice up the already 996 look and stay away from all that fabricating and body shop work.

I wouldn't even buy from that company even without the 5 piece minimum. Looks to be some cheap chinese tuner. Would have doubts about fitment. Additionally, this looks to be a turbo style lid, but it doesn't even say for what model of 996 it is: narrow body carreras, turbo wide bodies, and the C4S have different fitments on those parts.

I was wondering what body it was for also. I was going to call and ask and I agree it doesn't look like an over seas part. It is the only one I have found for our cars though. I really wish I could find one. Would go perfect with the roof and hood. Plus I plan on a carbon front lip and rear diffuser over the winter. I currently have carbon mirrors, I think this will spice up the 996 body nicely and not really take from its original look but add to its already beautiful style.

Zook I got my carbon hood from VIS and the roof is coming from GMG racing. They also make carbon and fiberglass doors for the car. I believe they have carbon fenders etc etc.

996Porscheman, how much was it to have them make the trunk for your car? Idw to change my wing so all I will need from them is the trunk and a way to bolt my wing up to it.

GMG is a very good company, all their products are top of the line. The only thing is you pay for what you get! Not cheap at all
