the more I look at that bella trunk the more I want it, but like many have said I don't think I could pull off the CF even with my CF diffuser...
Might have to go FG then take it with my CS conversion bumper to a shop to get it painted and installed.
I am getting ready to PCS to Langley AFB, VA at the end of July and there are a lot more import friendly shops along with shops that work with aftermarket parts so I m going to wait till I get down there to install my new bumper, lip, and hopefully trunk.
oh and also air lol
I like the new trunk Zo

Maybe the CF trunk could work if you paint the back half and leave the top CF? Not sure how that would look though, just a thought.

thanks for the kind words John and thanks for the support fellas!
You're either gonna like this thing or not but we don't have very many options as you all well know for our sedans so this trunk does help give our sedans a different look, like it or not LOL it is available in Fiberglass as well.
Brad I do somewhat like the CF look but I was thinking of painting it and leaving CF accents on it. I think that would make it look much better but other than that it does flow well with the Blueslate unlike that White Sedan that's sporting it.
Tony, you have to see it in person. Pictures does it no justice. So speed on over here. I expect you here in about 30 min with that rocket ship of yours![Biggthumpup](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
Hope this pic helps

The Vert Cradle Braces were a direct bolt-on for the Sedan. Zero issues, perfect fitment.
Is it a handling mod? IDK yet. I also messed around with my rear suspension today, so I'm kind of gingerly getting on the car. And now I need an alignment in the next week or two.
Anyway, pics:

Don't get me wrong the bella is still a great looking trunk overall! There aren't too many options and it is great that we are getting more aftermarket support domestically!
In the beginning I was talking to Mark about ordering one, but decided not to since I have my molded trunk. Although I think CC should definitely get one!

Tony I like your molded one. I think the bella is nice as well. I'm glad Mark and Stephen came out with these and at a reasonable price too. Best of all they are made here in the US!
Oh and Tony, I hate your TT setup. That is just too much power for someone to be having all that fun with

Seems like a no-brainer type of mod to do. File me under interested in this one. What were the part numbers on the bolts you had to order?

I say that was the initial reason because it turned out that cross-piece was eliminating a *lot* of vibration at idle, which is all gone now.

John, I really like what your mechanic came up with for the bracing on the FI RHFCs. I've been wanting to do this, but lack of time. There is definitely more vibration at idle with these cats and it's good to know that the bracing alleviates that. Did he have the steel brackets on hand or did you have to pickup some scrap steel somewhere?
