You can get a CF one used for about 400~ depending on the brand and wingless depends if you can find one it can be 200~ or so and if you are lucky enough to find someone to swap then its free, normally. Also you will need TORSION BARS. If you don't you will crack the CF hood or the wingless will fly up whenever you pop the trunk. If you get a CF you will also need to drill a lock hole if you want one.

and if you cant change out the torsion bars, just attach a weight to the trunk door so that it wont shoot up.

Yea, a carbon trunk on STI torsion springs will launch oranges a fair distance!!

even if you use wingless torsion bars, it has enough tension to warp teh cf trunk. i only know because i had it on my car. it will push the cf trunk up a good 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch above where it should be at while its closed...

oh yeah true. that way the trunk just rests on top of the seals when you pop it open.
