CF trunk or Fix it up

[2001S4CT]

So I have a deep and ugly 8 inch scrath on my trunk. AMC and a couple others guys suggested CF trunk.

Would it look gayish just to have the CF trunk on a silver S4?

[smithm5]

personally i like cf hood/tunk with a black roof. hell even a cf roof.

I dont think its rice if its funtional and you need a new one anyways. but if you found a oem trunk off a part out, then it would be much cheaper.

[Das General]

you be the judge...that one is a euro cf trunk

[2001S4CT]

that does look good but I would most def have to paint the roof black. The CF hood does not appeal to me much even though I am a CF freak.
DEB any more pics on different angles

[Das General]

that is all i got. shows some of the fitment.

also look up 3Mort4l's silver S4. he posted pics not to long ago. Pics show his carbon trunk with black roof, He has the hood too, i know you don't care for it but it might grow on you the more you look at it.

If it was me, I would get the carbon fiber trunk, and paint it a translucent(ish) silver so it matches the car, but you can still see some of the fiber if you look like. Mike did it on his a4. Then you can do a black roof, but if you did it all, Im just not a fan of the whole skunk stripe down the middle of the car.

how about fibre glass?? is there light weight fibreglass trunks available for the b5s4?

He didn't paint it, he actually had them use blue weave when they made.

Rice... I say either fix it or paint the CF trunk so it doesn't look out of place.

[Overboostin]

My bad. You could always go with a silver weave. I would do that or just paint it silver.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but what is the diffrence between the euro and regular trunk? I have an a6, but looking at s4's and starting the learning phase!

[dc878mmm]

The euro trunk has the longer license plate opening for euro plates.

[dc878mmm]

I have to say that carbon fiber is super nice on the interior of the car, but for the exterior, but I just don't know about the exterior. CF is great for weight reduction, but for me, I would defnitely paint it to match the rest of the car. The thing is, from far away (to the untrained eye), it looks a lot like a trunk or a hood that was replaced with a junkyard part.

[trapped]

Ok thanks for the response! I looked at pics of both and thought they looked very similar, but wasnt sure...

[Overboostin]

I agree with dc. When I see some cars around my town, especially civics, with carbon fiber hoods, it takes me a close look to figure out its carbon fiber, but in the end, they usually still look bad.

If your going to buy carbon fiber .. you dont buy the ones with the color weave bullshit .. that just makes it ricer and none of that vader crap with hood scoops .. carbon fiber should be left OEM if its done ..

[AMC]

you can always paint the CF trunk but money is probably an issue for you, PSH LOL or you can try to bondo it yourself get your hands dirty paul

i was readin this issue of traction magazine that featured some companys company car which was a red b7 a4...anyways they had a carbon fiber hood that was painted...but they left like an inch or two of carbon fiber showing at the very top of the hood closest to the windshield...anyways it looked pretty damn cool...because it blended into it evenly...probably a pricey job...but its a thought

[Chknkatsu]

stock if you have a cock[O_O]...sorry...that was stupid

[Matt@JHM]

Lets see a picture of how bad this scratch is.

[YMJ]

anyone know ifthere is fibreglass trunks??

[2fast4me]

I think silver weave cf would go pretty well w/ the car

[jibberjive]

Not a fan of it on silver. Do CF and paint the whole thing

[AudiSportB5S4]

how about euro trunk ... i think those look pretty nifty

[Dr.Duct]

heres my take on it..

although I think the cf trunk, hood and black roof looks cool. Its very trendy, and in a few years it will be so played out, you will possibly wish you didnt do it. I myself have the black roof, and feel that in a few years their will be so many people that will have it, i will no longer want it. I have access to a paint booth, and the supplies so its not a big deal for me.. Think about that a little when you do it.


also, you have a silver S4.. The most common color.. It prolly wouldnt be to to hard to find a silver trunk with no marks.

[Jung]

i dont see how it's rice... i'd do it if i had some $
but damn that first car needs some spacers!

[S4 in_lowplaces]

cf and paint it our stock color.

[GURUMAN]

WTF man spot posting pictures with snow in it...
