I have the siebon CF trunk, which i recently test fit. I am more than happy with the fitment! I swear it fits better than my stock one, haha. I heard rumors that the CF trunk/FAL lexan is 44lbs lighter then a touring trunk with windshield wiper. I believe it, the stock metal/glass one is a TANK!

20 lbs is not bad I guess. I am not interested in going single and pushing 700 HP on 30 psi so every pound counts I guess. I read somewhere else here that going all CF parts saves about 120 lbs. Not bad. Doors, hood, trunk, fenders.

i have fenders, they arent all that much light then the steels. The OEM doors are actually very light as well. I will cage my car if i do decide on going with CF doors.

heres some older shots. Now that i remember, it actually fit 100% amazing, it was when i put the rubber weather strip on the chassis only then did it stick up in the right rear corner like i mentioned. Basically, im going to use those stealthy hood pins in the rear under the wing. When i push down with minimal effort, it fits as it should, aka perfect!
has a decent gap between the chassis, but i think i can pull it forward a hair more.
