The cheapest car-part.com has is around $300 for a lid with basically no description. I know Jose has had his eye out, but I had 2 people say they could donate their lid as a donor but then I haven't heard back from them. I will PM the 4 people in on this deal about adding $50.00 for the trunk lid to be bought from a yard.

Jose also agreed to do this deal with the 4 people.. So you guys don't have to worry about it not going through, the rest of the expenses are being covered (mmhmm). I will contact you 4 individually and get a general concesus on time and etc..

If 10 people for each gen want to do it, both can be done. The more the merrier.

Can someone post pictures of both of them?

The trunk lids will continue to be sold, but the price will go up slightly to accomodate the one-off building costs. From now until the time that the first trunk lids are made people can jump on the price of $715.00 shipped.

From the concensus of the group of 4 people. we are going to completely remove the seamed piece on the trunk lid. There will be stock mounting points for the license plate bracket and lights.

Basically this will be a frenched trunk lid.. it will look near identical to stock but with some carbon fiber and no seams.
