Just make one yourself. You can order the carbon fiber mesh anywhere on the internet. Get some good epoxy. Cover your old trunk lid with wax paper. Lay out the carbon fiber mesh on top of the wax paper. Cover liberally and evenly with the epoxy. Let it cure. Do two layers. When it's done, trim the edges and mount the hardware.

:down: Sure you can do that if you want it to look crappy and be too big. Over the trunk? Its going to be bigger and it won't turn out right at all.

Try searching around on the internet. Its going to be probobly about 400-600 dollars, thats what I've seen most 4 door CF trunks for.

Default durr..

a) English works best..
b) "Making one" is possible, to get it to fit right, you'd wanna make a mold first of the outside, like the dude had mentioned, and then lay the carbon fiber on the mold... so it's a 3-stage process, which is possible... but carbon fiber, for 99% of applications, is only cosmetic, and the "Quality" of a carbon fiber piece is the weave of it, which is something i'm willing to bet you won't pull off because the weave is so tight it takes reatarded amounts of knowledge, practice, and skill to do right..
c) Depending on what you plan to do with the car, I would personally look into a little bit of the performance side first... but to each their own.
d) Welcome to HAN! :cheers:

because you see...my reply was about as serious as the original post. One post, no follow up, essentially silly question.
My guess is this guy is poking fun, trolling even.

Look long and hard on the internet.
