Slek design CF trunk group buy

AriuSen · 10-06-2018, 11:39 PM

Testing the waters
I got in touch with slek designs and he's willing to produce the trunk if we can get at least 5 people to commit.
OEM is 46lbs without the glass. The CF trunk is 26lbs.

The prices
1200 fiberglass
2000 single sided carbon
2400 double sided carbon

I will get more info such as lead time if this moves forward.

Here is a video of someone installing the trunk

I would buy the carbon fiber hood if they give me a reasonable price

Daemonblitz · 10-07-2018, 07:17 PM

Definitely interested. But maybe we can work on pricing a little better depending on how many people we have interested.

I doubt we will get more than 5. I will try posting on FB too.

Is this with the integrated duckbill or just a stock looking piece that weighs less?

It's with the spoiler.

Frank851 · 10-11-2018, 03:53 PM

What is the difference between:

$2000 single sided carbon
$2400 double sided carbon ?

I'm interested in the GB if it happens.

I believe top and bottom is CF
And other one probably top in CF and bottom fiberglass?

For what you're getting, I think the price point is pretty good.
I would be interested in the double carbon lid.
My only hesitation is the duck bill. This will interfer with my wing mount. I suppose I could work around it, but would prefer a stock shape.

Unfortunately I beleive they won't be able to make one without the lip since I assume they need a new mold?

You should also post this in the classified/group buy section.

If you get one of these I'd be interested in your factory hatch - assuming it's not an absolute bonkers for freight.

If by chance they do end up making a mold without the molded lip I'd be interested in that. I'd actually want single-sided CF on the inside. I'd want to paint the outside body colour but wanna have the weave show on the inside.

I would be interested if they can do it without the lip

BookerM3 · 10-15-2018, 06:18 AM

I am interested as well, need to confirm that it will be reinforced to handle a wing being mounted.

Don't you guys think having the lip is better aerodynamic? The lip is intended to cause less drag no?

Good point, I was more concerned with needing to modify my wing mounts but I suppose if there is an aero benefit, I can change my mind. I guess you can put me on the fence.

I have friends who have aftermarket CF trunk for s2000 and they do just fine...but for the piece of mind, i would reinforce with some aluminum plates underneath the hatch.

Don't you have the apr base?
I beleive you don't need to modify to fit the apr ones.

The lip starts where the apr base ends.
