Carbon Fiber or Paint Matched Trunk
Is it better to leave the trunk carbon fiber or paint match it?

I recently sold my Voltex Wing to my friend, but he decided he did not like the look of the wing on his car.

He decided to go wingless for now and I bought the wing back from him.

Anyhow here are some pictures.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.







Painted by Adobe CS

the DoLuck trunk looks great either way, but I prefer how flawless it looks when paint-matched.

I like how it would look painted better but it doesn't look bad in carbon.

Your trunk looks out of place.
Either paint it or do your roof black and get a CF hood.
