+1 for FRP, no way I pay 1k for a trunk. This is the way the X should look from the factory.

I would think the CF would be more susceptible to cracking from the hard resin.... But I don't know shiz about all that! wouldn't FRP just sort of dent?

btw, I'd be down for a FRP duckbill... been waitin for it really.

FRP, but needs to be cheap to be worth it. If it is only a little less, FRP will be more than CF by the time you paint it...no go

+1 all depends on what is a little bit less..... Doesn't sound too optimistic though.

We recently got some new pictures of the trunk installed on a customer's car. It's still amazing to me how it just seems to complete the back of the car perfectly.
