Does anyone have carbon fiber trunk for 98-00?

Does anyone have carbon fiber trunk for 98-00?

I'm wondering if anyone has this trunk in their rolla.I want to see some pics.Thanks

Not that I know of. The drawback besides price is having a second license plate holder. You would have to fill in the stock holder in the bumper.

There is a guy on another board who has a trunk but it isnt carbon fiber it is Shaved lights and everything ....

all you need are some home depot hinges, i think.

Its a trunk kit. They sell those on ebay... or used to.
EDIT: nevermind... I found a universal kit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Univ...137009904QQrdZ1

Cool. I'll get it if I get a spoiler, and poooosssssssssssssibbly CF trunk, if it ever happens.

Yea go to home depot for door hinges but i bought mine already made and bent for my trunk then all i did was screw it on .... I paid like 10. bucks .... If you need more help PM me and i cna send you photos ....

Hey RinconRolla, where and how did you get your trunk modded that way? Its pretty cool.

how about that CF trunk. maybe if we all wrote to a company like siebon , vis , carbon creations , we could con vince them to build 5 prototypes of 7 8 and 9 gens.

i'd love to have a CF trunk for my 7th gen

Well VIS makes the 8th gen already but it has a trunk mounted license plate holder instead of on the bumper.

then do like im gonna do , and route dual mufflers out of the old tag location.

VIS got um for 84-87, 98-02 and 03-06

heres the link for 98-02

I don't like the look of the trunk with the license plate. The current look is cleaner. Plus what difference is it going to make? Its not that much lighter.

nahhh... if our trunk lids were heavy they'd open with those mini shock absorbers. ever take a look at a hatchback? our trunk lids are pretty light. turn the key and it pops up. not unless you have a wing on the lid, then it will be heavy. but you might as well drive without any clothes if you want the weight difference. other than that, it's just for looks. not performance. if you want more unspung weight, get some real lightweight rims.

This is deff not an 8th gen trunk. At least its not the USDM trunk. The key hole is in the middle whereas it should be on the inner tail light on the passenger side.



Here is the rear of an overseas corolla. Look familiar?

If you just want the carbon trunk for looks, I suggest you invest in some carbon fiber vinyl.

jdm rear conversion anyone?

That looks fugly...

"but it's jdm"

hahahahaha

Yeah, its jdm alright. "Just dumping money" LOL

good term!

So there is no carbon fiber trunk for 7th or 8th gens. Only 9th gens have it. If you want one, its going to have to be custom because there is no demand for a carbon fiber trunk for the 8th gens.

like stated already , there pretty light as it is , just a waste of money , if your that concerned w/ weight lose 5 pounds . unless your a ricer and just want it because its carbon fiber. if you have a full out race car , just cut the webbing out of your trunk.

Or use carbon fiber vinyl. It looks exactly like carbon fiber. If you want weight savings, you can fabricate a plastic trunk. LOL I don't see what all the hype is for having the carbon fiber look anyways.
