I have had a Strafe CF, Stock 03 spoiler, and a stock spoilerless and personally I would just have a custom trunk made from a oem trunk out of metal. No fitment issues no cf fade, no fiberglass crack and best of all you would have a 1 off trunk.

Your lucky the 100 shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake.

Now me and the mad scientist have to rip the block apart and replace the piston rings you fried.

I talked to my body shop.. possibly ordering Shorty Gialla unpainted and having them mold in to OEM trunk...Filling holes from iron board, no factory badging...repainting whole trunk.. Just so confused because people talk bad about strafe,but they have good reviews...

There hasn't been an aftermarket trunklid made that fits like OE. Even when the space around the edges is perfect, it doesn't sit flat. Only solution is to visit the boneyard buy a trunklid (without spoiler) and have a duck bill made. Fiberglass is $1100, can't imagine what one done in metal would cost?
