Opinion on Carbon fiber trunk.

Leave it all carbon? Or leave the lip carbon rest painted? or paint the whole thing?

Partial lip carbon (if you plan on having other carbon parts to tie it in).

just the lip, i think a full cf trunk would look awkward on green.

I want to do cf lip and the new hood from strafe with just the vents being cf. Think it should flow well. Not to mention my roof spoiler is wrapped in cf film as well.

Yea ok, that's what my opinion has been as well. One of the guys I work with has been trying to convince me to go all carbon, but I think it's just too much I think.

If I do the hood CF, I will paint the hood green but leave the vents CF. The roof might end up being dry carbon though. But I think a full stripe would be too much!

Thanks guys!
