Will that carbon fiber trunk lid act the same way as a factory metal trunk in the even of a rear end crash?

Or is it a factory metal trunk lid that's had carbon cloth applied to it?

this trunk is made of carbon , not an overlay . if i get rear ended by someone , this trunk will react different from the metal one . it should splinter into a million projectiles and poke the eyes of the dumba55 that just hit me . if i was that worried about safety , i would have bought a hummer h1

H1's aren't all that tough. I've broken a few. But that's another story.

When I look at that car I can't help but think that just came out of the body shop with a new hood and it needs to be painted. Unless you need weight savings, I just don't see the benefit of CF at all. Sorry.

CF brings the car to a whole... notha.... level....

I don't see the point in doing the interior. Outside on the other hand it looks amazing and saves a lot of weight. Hook, Trunk, Roof. I wonder how much into total weight savings. Gotta be a lot.

I think the hood, roof, and trunk will save close to 100#.

To each his own, my friend. Go for it. Hell, I'm paying $400 to change my armrests from rubber to leather. Maybe we can get a group discount at the funny farm.
