To all the patient people who have been wanting a carbon fiber trunk. It's official, the buy is open now. It's not really a group buy, but the basic question that's on everyones minds is HOW MUCH???
$475 US for the trunk. This price is for local pickup, which is welcome, but by appointment only.
$600 US for those that need it shipped. That price is for the lower 48 states only. Canada, Hawaii, Alaska and out of country will need to call for shipping costs.
It can be done in fiberglass, 525 shipped, but I forgot to ask how much for pick-up.
As for the trunk, it's based on the 98+ trunk lid (sorry to the guys that wanted a 95-97), but here's the best part... it has a molded-in lip spoiler, similiar to the BMW M3 CSL (although steeper in angle and taller) or a 1973 Porsche 911 RS with the "ducktail" spoiler. It will have the center reflector as well. I don't have pictures of the finished product, that will be in a couple of weeks, but the modified trunk pictures I do have, and I'm expecting the pictures of the trunk right before it goes into the mold process.
All orders are to be placed with Carbon Fiber One. Please tell them you're purchasing the Contour carbon fiber trunk lid. Thanks to Bill and Jacob for designing and okaying this without any money up front from any Contour people. The phone number is (562) 404-9877.

It's probably closer to 4 or 5 inches, although truly, I'm not sure, as I haven't seen it in person in over a week. It is on the larger side, but I think it will look great with the Mirko splitter or the AA front bumper. I will see if Bill can come on and give the actual dimensions of the spoiler.

Other than they wanted to, I don't know. The design is completely CF1's. No Contour person had any say in the design, not even me or Brett. I'm just happy they're producing it without monitary commitment from the CEG or fordcontour.org. This is CF1's project all on their own.

They need to lop at least 2" off that puppy.
Beg them to do that and then when the final piece is made I'll make up my mind on whether I want it or not.
