Paradox systems carbon fiber trunk installed...
Here are the pics. The fit is almost perfect. The finish is about 8 of out 10. I have a small part that's kinda wavy and with some small bubbles. I say the hardest part of the installation was taking off the stock trunk by myself. My advice is have atleast one person helping. It might be easier to take off the OEM trunk if you remove both of the trunk poping rods.

The fitment was suprising good. What I did is bolt everything up loosly at first and then closed the trunk. At that time, I could move the trunk lid a bit to make sure all the gaps are where I wanted. Then I tighten everything down from the taillight holes.

Go to paradox system's website and email Harry about the price. I think he has the specs for the weight.

No but there are indentations where you need to drill and they are right on the money.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The rest of the pictures are in the following link. I'll take some more pictures this weekend on the inside of the trunk lid. I reused the OEM trunk lid liner. There were indentations where to drill for all those snap fittings so putting the OEM trunk lid liner back on was a breeze.
I want to thank UNCDooD (Jason) and cardana24 (Carson) for the installation advice.

lookin' good
Sweet! Thanks for sharing. In your link, what are you trying to show in pics 4 & 5? I can't wait for mine to arrive, I ordered it from Paradox last Thursday! I hope mine looks and fits as good as yours.
I'm just about to install my CF hood, took off the OEM hood this weekend. I noticed you don't have pins. Does your hood flex or wiggle at high speeds? I don't want hood pins, but I don't want a cracked windshield/damaged roof either. Thoughts?

Oh..that holes for the hinge and latch are pretty drilled. I do have hood pins on my CF hood. I wouldn't go without them.

It's nice not to have car payments. I move pretty slow in mods so there are still plenty stuff that I can do to the car. I put some much sweat and money into this max that it's hard to get rid of it. I'll keep it as long as I can.
