YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting these to be made for so long!!!!!

I voted for CF, especially since duraflex would have to be painted anyway.

Would there still be the 3rd brakelight and keyhole or no?

I would take a cover for the key hole, or get one somewhere else. There have been numerous times I would have my car apart and battery unhooked and looking at my trunk like what do I do now until i face palm and open it with my key.

I voted for CF, because I feel like the build quality would be better with CF, as would the fitment, I feel like duraflex would just warp too easily, especially if it's anywhere near as flexible as a normal bumper. If it's as rigid as the fiberglass that boats are made out of for example, then ya I want it. Also, I feel that they should have the inner tail lights, and I'd LOVE to get one WITHOUT a keyhole. I WILL buy one of these if/when they are made.

I never have that problem. I refuse to shut my trunk if my battery is unplugged. Plus trunk popper relocation FTW.

If this is made in CF, 90% chance I'll buy it.

Duraflex: Maybe 20%

Well when I work on my car **** happens sometimes with people being around it, the trunk popper relocation if you are talking about the emergency trunk release for when you are trapped that is clever.

I actually meant to say seat popper, which would allow you to get to the trunk release.

carbon. duraflex sounds like itll just be crap. most body kits i hear about are nightmare horror stories of duraflex fitment and quality. Luckily i havent dealt with one myself yet, but i know i dont really want a duraflex top panel. idk why but i can picture it being wavy and a nightmare.

Baller trunklids and the baller wing should be for the most baller of cobalt owners. Carbon Fiber. If u want it painted, paint over ur carbon fiber.

Makes sense less complicated than what I was thinking being that the trunk lifts up haha.

If you guys do a no keyhole version, which I really hope you do, I'm gonna have to shave my antennae too.
