Well Guys,
I am just as excited about this trunk as I am the hood. You can paint it or get it carbon fiber. Eliminates the added on spoilers we have all bought but I think its turning out awesome!!!!!! The lines are smooth and its not too aggressive but aggressive enough. I know there are some rough spots in this prototype but it will all be cleaned up. What do you all think??






Let me know and be kind.

It will look aggressive in carbon fiber.

I can't wait to see it in carbon fiber. Are you planning to do GP ?

you could mold the center of the spoiler a little higher, like the vorsteiner trunk lid

just a thought

Can you also provide side view of it? Not 45 degree one, you had it already.

I think the ends need to be faired in a bit. They look a little too bulky/awkward to me.

Very nice job and I guess I am just nitpicking a little.

Hey Guys,
I got some pricing for you.
If we get 10 the pricing is:
FRP - $990
C/F - $1360

If we get 15:
FRP - $950
C/F - $1290

These prices include freight to the USA. All you pay is the freight from Florida to you. Thats usually around $100 just like the hood. If you are outside the US I will get you a price for shipping and it can go directly to you. Most of the quotes I have so far for the hoods are around $350 sea freight to most places ouside the USA.

Who's in - I am just trying to get a feel for how many are interested? You are not commited until I get final pictures and design.
1. C63 Guy
2. Dads C63
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

There will be a place for the MB emblem on the rear in the center like the stock trunk. There will also be a carbon fiber strip that goes over the tag light like the stock hood has.

THANK YOU!!
Keith
