Windchaser: have u tried coating it with Klasse AIO? It worked well to keep away oxidization when I had my Integra.
Someone told me do not use anything in carbonfiber.

I'm assuming the trunk didn't get hit by the huge thunderstorms. The groove is cool, but I can't help but think that it's just a well for everything to get trapped in.

too bad the clear coat suck on those trunk my 1st one turned yellow in a bout a month or 2 so I got an exchange for the 2nd one.
on gotuning's website they actually recommend you get it clearcoated. i came outside this morning (it's cold here) and the trunk was completely fogged up and the hood was clear and smooth like the rest of the car. so i guess seibon puts a clearcoat on and asuka just puts a gelcoat? i'm going to get both clearcoated next week. apparently what they use on CF is what they use in marine applications so if you use marine finishing products on it it will keep it looking like new. so i'm assuming if i get it clearcoated i'll have to care for it just like i'd care for the rest of the exterior.

i guess if you don't get it clearcoated you should use this: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=374768

his exhausts sound sick. i did all the vids for him and they all have zero drone inside due to the OEM helmholtz resonator, but they SCREAM when you step on them. he's telling the truth when he claims that

I heard Asuka is out of commission until they find a new maufacture. The Mastergrade trunk is the same mold for $550 shipped.

OP: trunk looks good, I heard if you take out the trunk spring? it will work.

if i could go back in time, i'd wait and get the FWD/Mastergrade one because it's almost $200 cheaper for the same thing.
