96 GT-FOUR carbon fibre trunk, any experience here?, Tell me your thaugths about carbon fibre trunks. Options

[Steinawarjar]

I really want a carbon fibre trunk. Ive been looking at the one made at VIS.

Link: http://www.visracing.com/oldcatalog/produc...roducts_id=3703

To anyone who has this trunk, i would love to learn from your experiences.

My questions are these:
How well does it fit?
Trouble fitting the window?
The "outside" looks great, but how does it look on the inside?

Any other thaughts?

Thank you.

(Ill take some pictures and post here when im closer to a finish.)

There are 2 problems with cf or fg trunks... Latch and glass. the latch cannot support much stress, otherwise it'll break. it can hold the weight, but there is a reason the carbonfiber and fiberglass are lighter than the OEM material, and that's because it's less dense. Making it more breakable. Same problem with the backglass, it's massive and heavy... The idea of the lexan is a good idea for this. Becareful with the latch. Does it already come pre installed?

there are no issues with this hatch since we had them made several years ago.

the only thing it CAN NOT support is a spoiler.
OEM Glass and parts are good to go.

I thought so - and yet I saw one with a spoiler installed the other day in pics. Not a good idea IMO.
