brand new carbon fiber trunk

[mikeyivan]

Has anybody ever brought a brand new carbon fiber trunk and has to drill the holes for the tail lights? i just wanna how would figure out where to drill the holes? It is not as easy as just put he light where is goes because the light slide into place not straight in

The tail lights don't slide into anything. If there isn't any holes you will have to drill them.

Take the lights out of an OEM trunk, then make a template for where the holes should be. You can probably just do one side, then flip it over for the other, they should be symmetric.

this may be a little off topic but, how much does it weigh and what brand?

its probably carbon creations. ive been watching them on ebay forever.

"Carbon Creations is one of the most sought after brands by motorsport professionals.

Every part is made with Grade A carbon fiber and finished with a premium clear coat for UV protection. Carbon Creations parts are up to 70% lighter than OEM parts, increasing performance and style.

but that's just a general description. no shipping weight is given either

Thanks for the idea, but sadly i have a coupe and the cf trunk only came in sedans. I guess i can go to the junkyard and do it.

You're right it is a carbon creations cf trunk but my wife did not get it off ebay, she got a new from another website that i can not remember at the moment.

you could use a digital home scale, its what i use. i just weigh my self before then weigh myself with the item and get the difference.

Only cb coupe trunk that's different is 9293. Tho all 3 are interchangable (9091 coupe and sedans are same, 9293 sedan/coupe different) The key for the trunk won't work but u can swap/do something to make your exsisting key fit to the matching lock.

I'll weigh my cf hood when I take it off soon.

Oh Yeah, the cf trunks only are made for 92 93 sedan style. You'll need at least the inner tails from a 92 93 sedan, unless you want to cut up the carbon fiber one you got and glass your coupe garnish and make it work that way somehow.

You didn't specify you had a coupe in the original post.

Yea sorry about that and I already bought red/clears for the rear

[steelbluesleepR]

so you have a 90/91 coupe then? they don't make red/clears for 92-93 coupes.
