Default To CF Trunk or to Not

Since part of the goal with the Civic is show, I'm contemplating useless CF goodies such as a CF trunk.

I think it'd look good on the blue, plus it'd offset the hood nicely. VIS makes one for $600. Seibon makes one for $1100. :eek4: Just trying to think if it'd be worth it on the car or not.

The tails are also red clears, so I dunno if it makes a difference or not. Unfortunately I don't have any rear end shots of the Civic.

I'd say no.

CF trunks, fenders, sunroof panels, etc are all a bit over-the-top IMHO.

Depends on the overall theme, if they were readily available for sedans, I'd have one a long time ago.

Absolutely not.

Yeah but judges look for shit like that. It's over the top but it's "points."

I was thinking of getting one and color matching the vertical half of the trunk. I don't think that they make a CF license plate holder so I figure I'd keep that part of the trunk the same color as the car while the top part of the trunk was left with a clear coated CF. Figured it would match a half color matched CF hood. I'm a ricer, I know. h:

I think it might look kinda okay. The color is dark and looks nice with the CF hood. Just don't go any farther. No CF sidepanels or roof. Maybe paint a little of the trunk for style? Like the top corners a little or the license plate holder. Maybe leave a half inch around the license plate blue so it kinda 'stacks' up the license plate, if that makes any sense.
