What sucks is you could've saved money and bought the FRP...then painted if that ends up being your choice. No one would ever know the difference. I say if you have the CF version, show it off.

I ordered the CF version and can't wait for it to come in.

done
The wing doesn't have the thick body line in it...so that would be tough to do.

On your car, it could go either way, but with the parts you already have that add carbon accents to your car, I would vote leave the trunk the way it is.
