David Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 carbon fiber is STRONG yet lightwieght, I dont think you'll have any issues, now if you had lets say a couple of 18's in there with 8kw or something you might have issues but I doubt it CF is STRONG shit. Quote
Coolwazabi Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 i'd get it.. since u need a new truck anyhow... and it is stronger than ur normal trunk hatch... so why not ? Quote
zaxfire69 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Posted June 9, 2007 Done deal..I didn't know so I thought I would ask cause I will have it hopefully Sunday, If I send the money out tonight...My trunk lid now looks like Roscoe's box,,,Swiss Cheese.... Quote
AI James Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 its pretty much dependant on the grade of carbon fiber its made of, i went through 2 hood on my accord from bitches sitting on my shit the first one i barly closed it from adding oil and it cracked. the second one some chick leaned on it and it snapped right at the bolts Quote

Forevrbumpn Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I have done a few cars with carbon fiber lids, wether the trunk/hatch or the engine lid, but the thing is, yeah, strong and light, but usually not braced strong enuff. Infact, I did 3 corvettes to date with bangin systems so far, and the lids (which 2 were fiberglass one was carbon fiber) they flex like a bitch, even the engine hood way up front flexes like an inch.. In MY experiences, they look cool, are light and everything, but for actual air pressure , anything over like 140db they seem to flex side to side to much, thats the disadvantage of being so light, and usually thinner than the manufacturer specs Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

zaxfire69 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Well as you guys know I bought that Carbon Fiber Trunk lid..Well to make a long stroy short. I woke up Monday Morning, took a test at my job, took 2 hours, Drove to New Orleans, Louisiana to pick my Carbon Fiber TRunk lid up, Took 7 hours, came home and installed the trunk lid, stayed up till 2 am. Well I went to work the next day and turned on GUCCI MANE Swing my doors or whatever it is called..Turned it up to 16 on radio and had amp gain half way up and The lid took about 20 seconds of that song and Crack...My wife come to visit me at work and came to look at my trunk lid on the car. She said what is that scratch right there. I said what scratch there were no scratchs on my trunk, I looked and I said thats not a scratch thats a crack...Right where the trunk goes from Flat to the curve going down to the liscense plate..Cracked like a piece of glass...Really sucks cause it looks good on my car..Problem is I can't play my music now Cause I am afraid it will leak water..So no sounds untill I get the New OEM HOnda Metal trunk lid..I will post pics when it warms up a little outside. Cause camera will fog up from being cold in the house... Edited June 13, 2007 by zaxfire69 Quote
