I kind of like this trunk more then the cf one. and the only reason is because it has the whale tail on it.

Well i just ordered my JSP carbon trunk lid from summit racing! Cant beat that price. I also had no idea the lids came completely shaved. No lock, or tailight holes.

Well they must be on crack..lol I called JSP yesterday too. The woman said it came fully shaved, but she must have been confused. Ik now the lock comes shaved. So i think she needs to check her notes then.

ya, prolly, lol. i know they used to make them but stopped about a year or 2 ago.
but my JSP lid is pretty damn good fitment and quality. plus i got a pretty good deal, since they are local to me, and i went and picked it up.

They said its FULLY shaved. Then i called some other website they said its not fully shaved...Jesus..trunks are like a box of choclates, you never know what the frig your gonna get!

I had a vis racing trunk on my car.
Then I got a jsp one (after I had sold my car). It wasn't fully shaved. It just didn't have the key hole.

Well i figured thats prolly how it was, but these guys should get their info right if they are selling something.

the only place that makes them without the taillights in carbon fiber is Classglassperformance.. they used to make them where u could see teh carbon fiber weave.. but so many people complained about the weave not looking good, now they cover the weave with black gel coat.. so now they just look black.

Now the reason some of the companies might be telling u they are fully shaved.. cuz they are.. shaved lock and wing is fully shaved only because the light areas house the reverse lights.. meaning u cant shave those off(well u can but not supposed to) So i can bet when there saying fully shaved that means fully shaved but still legal.. meaning its gonna still have the reverse lights..

Now if it does come to u and it has no reverselights def let us know with some pics.

and speedracer is right, Skilz has the cgp fully shaved one.. and i love showing this off..

but i have one too

you could always order a c/f trunk from class glass and sand the gel coat off. i cant guarantee that itll come off, but you could always ask them. i mean any other sort of gel coat can be sanded off so theres no reason you shouldnt be able to do it to the c/f trunk. then just re-clear it.

I actually emailed Summit and asked about it, they sent me JSP USA's phone number, called them up and at first the lady said "My notes on it say 'Shaved for the Tail Lights'" I asked her if that ment, has no tail lights, or has provisions for them...... she replied "the secondary notes say that 'All other models do not have lights or lock'."

So I'm taking it that the 'shaved' ment 'Cut out' for the tail lights...... lol


Looks like I will be ordering one up..... best price was Summit : $389.95 + $84 Shipping/$473.95.... second goes to JCW : $449.99 + $28.99 for Handling (free shipping)/$478.98

One on Ebay is at $465.45 + $100 for shipping.

I'm picking one up just as soon as my Insurance check comes in

^^^again, call class glass and see if the gel coat can be sanded off. any other gel coat can, as long as its not applied before the resin. while they wont guarantee it for asthetics, i have had the fully shaved CGP lid and can vouch for it...... it was great!

not only will it be cheaper, but itll look better w/o the tails
