Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid

i have a white car and i don't think a carbon fiber trunk would look well. There is someone around my neighborhood who drives a Pontiac GTO with carbon fiber hood and trunk. Looks cool at first, but it really messes up the ascetics of the car once u look twice.

Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid

I really didnt think they made these for the 98-02 corolla but I guess I was wrong

Yea but unless u'r car is black or dark blue it won't look good with a carbon fiber trunk. Major street kudos but thats it. A Carbon fiber hood with carbon fiber side mirrors, is as far as i would go.

i think white cars look good with cf accents.

Yup. No moldings on mine either. If you want white moldings though, you can buy my stock ones off me.

lol fine i guess i will have to reevaluate my decision.

Maybe with a pointless carbon fiber roof (like the m3) AND WITH same shade tints IT could work. MAYBE!!

It's really pointless since, it won't help you reduce that much weight that you can feel the difference. It's purely cosmetic and leaves you with two license plate recesses!!! HAHAHAHHAHA You can put the US plate in the top one and a Japanese one in the bottom one. LOL Pimpin! No, seriously. Don't do it.

it'll work, my car isnt all white. its more white/blackish...like a panda

i am considering cf hoods and trunk for my future mods =D

Jordan, why don't u paint those side moldings. It will leave the car looking so much nicer and it shouldn be that expensive. Thats what i did. I took off my side moldings altogether.

But where do u get the ones that u bought?

LoL u can finally buy one of those chrome emblem license plates that u see on auto show cars. They are usually deemed useless cause many states require front license plates. I rather have a shaved trunk lid, make it harder for the cops u know = ). But its pointless if its gonna be carbon fiber.

i think i decided not to remove the side moldings and leaving it there. yeah...just my own opinions and crap. maybe over time if i wanna remove them then i will, its not hard, but i probably wont pain them.<br />
<br />
and...recessing the license plate in the front bumper...where am i suppose to move it to? dont wanna remove it and get caught slippin with the cops. i might just leave it there in the center...or move it to the side of the bumper.

Just a question but why would you pull the moldings off your car? I know it would give it a cleaner look but those moldings have saved me from alot of dings and dents from idiots in parking lots. I think moldings on a car would look cleaner than dents and chips. But thats my opinion.

I've never had problems with people dinging or denting my car. If they did, I would kill them. Maybe that's why they don't.

Lol yea i have a few nicks on my plastic molding on my door that could have been dings in my doors.. also with my old car i was at the gas station and this older guy just gets out of his car and props his door on mine pretty hard so he has a supporter to get out of his car.. if my car wasnt so crappy back then i would have had a word with him but i didnt wanna cause a big commotion so i just gave him the evil eye and ripped out of there.

I never got around to paiting mine so i just removed them. And same here i have never had any dings in the parking lot cause of not having moldings. I did however get scrapped with a biggg asss dent when someone was entering a spot and like came in to wide. All of the rear fender, from where the bumper ends to where the door starts, was dented with huge black marks. I tried removing the dents on my own and buffed it out real good. But it still is rather dented. I found it like that when i came back = /. I was so MADDDDD.


= /.

Yea so i just looked at that Carbon FIBER trunk some more and i have some bad news. Yea it will fit but 8th gens corolla but it will use very different tail lights. Thats the old euro/middle east corolla version.

So It won't look good cause the tail lamps have different shapes. = / Sry to break the news but it was to good to be true.

well yeah i cant use it anyways bc i have a prizm but i remember seeing some stuff about not being able to find a carbon fiber trunk somewhere in the forums so i came across that one and figured i would post it. Im not buyin it but i just posted it to anyone whos interested

Yea i don't blame you. I hate the lack of corolla accessories since it is the most sold car in the world. Dosen make sense u know.

If people want the carbon fiber look, they can always use vinyl. LOL

Thats so ricyyy though lol. In btw where can u buy good vinyl? I wanna get pink vinyl for my back up lights and red for the amber part.

I think wat u should go for, is a black stripe decal for the side of the car to match the tint.

I say no to all decals and graphics. It's a Corolla. You'll get laughed at. Heck, I'm already laughing. LOL

I wouldn mind something simple. But i bet u are refering to this.

Good beat that song has. OMG its true (weeps horribly *)

you have a picture to demonstrate what you mean? (doesnt have to be a pic of a corolla)

Thats what they did in the fast and the furious but thats to much. A single black line that rides up and on top of the rear wheel well would look very well on a rolla.

This is the "mines skyline" Look closely and u can see a gray line. It would look so much better if it were black. Something along those lines (pun intended) is wat i was thinking

i dont really like the idea of putting on vinyls, especially onto my corolla. lol, it would be kinda weird (not ricey in my opinion, but weird), and kinda eye-catchy...maybe

i dont have a problem w/ decals tho, heh. not too much.


im planning to get a cf hood in the future, maybe there will be one available also for the trunks.
