For liability reason as they are probably not made to crumble during a crash.

The problem with adding a large carbon fiber piece such as a trunk lid, to the unsuspecting eye , it can often appear as though the vehicle was involved in an accident and the repairs have not been fully completed . In other words, it looks like part of the vehicle is still primed . This is especially true for bright or light colored vehicles . Carbon can serve as an excellent material as it relates to accent pieces. However, when used in areas that would otherwise be part of the vehicle's main color field, it can often look "bobo".

Maybe some paint might help?

If the paint on your original trunk lid isn't cracked, a paintless dent repair professional should be able to rub it out for you.

You can also get salvaged ones off eBay and from LA Distmantlers for a third of the cost of this CF design.

Was it a red or a white?

The bigger problem appears to be why a wine enthusiast would put wine in the rear trunk. Wine should only go in the much cooler frunk.

Keep your reds at about 55.

I'm with Flavor 987S... When I go wine tasting I have a large cooler in the frunk to hold my purchases... Yes the cooler fits!
