New most useless mod on car

Hey guys,

Here the newest most useless mod to the car .. i mean who's really gonna be looking in your trunk ? LOLs.

But still .. I like it.

At least it doesn't add any weight .. yet. I will once the extra layers of resin and stuff to make it shine goes on. Right now its got 1 layer of carbon and just enough resin for that layer so its light and MUCH more rigid than OEM part.

We all care about structural integrity of the battery cover right ? LOLs.

Picture was taken before some more trimming / sanding was done for better fitment. Still much work to do on it before it 'shines' like a real professional part, but its a start.

This is probably my first real time working with CF. =]

I want to remove the rest of my interior ( probably all the pieces that CJ removed in This thread ) and have them covered or replaced with CF pieces, but I cant really find any good instruction.

Should I just buy one of those Boxster Manual guide CD on Ebay for $15 ?

Is there plenty of clearance between the terminals and the cover as I believe carbon fiber conducts electricity?

That does seem really useless. How often do you use the front trunk, and how often do people look there? Plus, your adding the weight of the CF to the car.
But it does look cool!

Looks cool, but do all 3 pieces and I bet it would look amazing.
