Yes I understand that molds need to be made, but I will admit I do not know how the process works so wasn't sure if something as small as making it w/o the brake light is something feasible or not, hence why I asked.

its a pain, especially in CF to get everything to look perfect. In fiberglass no problem because whatever you pull from the mold is not the finished product.

The carbon fiber trunk would have to be built with reinforcements to support the mounting of a large spoiler. You should ask about what they say is acceptable or ask them to modifying the trunk so you can do this.

Hey this caught my eye and I was scoping out the OP's website...seems a little weird to navigate. I seem to see about 5-6 different CF parts for FC, is that everything?

How about more for a SA/FB? Ive got a FB project, seen a couple products there.

I dunno how many pieces can really be replaced with CF on those though.

Good products FTW
