Lou why not paint it like you did your hood?

Also I would keep it wingless.

3 reasons

The weight saving wouldn't be worth it like a cf hood. The cf trunk is in near perfect condition unlike the cf hood I bought. I had hail damage on my original hood. And I think it would just. decrease the value of the cf trunk.

I would definitely keep it wingess though.

Im the otherside. I think your car looks better as is other than ricer mods. I know its weight saving and all that crap, but i dont think a b14 looks right without a wing, and going red then carbonfiber. Now on black and white cars it looks good. But red in my opininon sticks out to much for that to look good.

I think you and I are on the same page.

Lol glad someone is on the same page as me for once lol. Idk i think your car looks really clean as is. Dark vehicles look good with carbon fiber, but bright colors that stand out, idk. Just never seems right. Just have to accent it the right way. Now if you wanted to do it a unique way. Do the carbon fiber hood, then do overlay on the roof, and then the carbon fiber trunk, Now that would look intersteing i think since it travels with the enitire car.

Get the CF trunk and paint it. No wing and it looks stock. I like B14's with out wings.

Idk, b14's justlook wrong from the side and back without a wing. The wing keeps them more in line, without them i always feel they look like a muffin top, just to much going on on top, plus the back is to round without it. Looks like a giant circle jerk going on in the ass end wihtout something back there to break it up.

B14 without spoiler is the way to go! The factory spoiler is so boring and generic looking IMHO. When I bought my car I specifically chose one without a spoiler off the lot new!

As far as CF on a red car, I have to see it in person

Until then I am undecided.

As for painting it, I think that's a great idea. My idea for that would be to leave the flat line where the factory "200sx" logo's are carbon fiber, and use a black finisher. Paint the rest red. That shit would look killer!
