I'd take one as long as it was metal and had no key hole and no third brake light options.
I have already been quoted 700$ primed for a metal one from someone claiming to sell this exact trunk on this site, hopefully the price could be more around $500-600 primed before shipping.
That would mean after shipping, painting and install it would cost under $1000.
Carbon Fiber would also be cool but I would end up painting it because it wouldn't go with my car, so then what the hell is the point of Carbon Fiber that is painted? Save like 5 pounds and spend a lot more. Doesn't make sense on a 20K sport compact.
Summary: Sell a metal one with no keyhole and no third brake light for under $600 primed and I'll buy one today!!!

If they wanted our business, they would have been on here already. Either they're trying to figure if it's feasible to do, or they just don't give a ****. I'm thinking the latter is the case. And if Will already tried with no definite answer, then it most likely isn't going to happen.

tein gave up on this car.....i even tried to get them to do a one off set of coilovers with the edfc and they told me no way. will and i both tried for a metal trunk and even offered to supply the trunk and they said no way that it was a one off deal. they are basically probablly trying to see if its worth building. figure in the cost of the mold and all that. if they arent going to make their money back and then some its not going to happen

Yes, but it's not like this is a group of guys with Caravans. These cars have gotten quite popular. And with the s/c's getting cheaper, you'll see even more. I see no fail here, only win.
