SoCal Tuner CF trunk
We have successfuly made a carbon fiber trunk lid for the Scion xB! the 1st one was released today and installed on 1 of the Scion Evolution black xB.Fitment is great, all stock hardwares (screws, shocks etc.)are reuseable, and the weave is awesome.
the trunk will be offered in: original carbon, carbon kevlar (yellow), red carbon, blue carbon and silver carbon.
the stock rear window and door handle are reused and the window deffoger/defroster and lic. plate lights etc. still works!
although we have eliminated the rear wipers
and a weight savings of a total of 10lbs is also a plus!

*and just a reminder, most of the weight is from the glass, we can also do an optional LEXAN rear window for all the xB racers out there*

I think the xB would look dorky with something like that....driving down the road with this huge ___ door on the back that is a totally different color then the rest of the car....it would only work for a Black car

There's more to this than 10 lb savings, too. It would cost close to this just to shave the rear wiper which is soooooo useless anyway.
Is it two-sided? What's the inside look like?

do you have any idea how hard it is to paint carbon fiber to match the rest of the car?
