Carbon Creations® - Carbon Fiber Trunk

Looks great on my WRX but I had to tweak the fit a bit. Still worth it for the style upgrade. It's a lot lighter than the stock part. No major complaints.

Looks awesome on my WRX! But be warned the installation isn't straightforward. I had to drill extra holes. Still, it's super lightweight and I'm happy with the end result.

I bought this trunk lid for a few reasons. First, my factory one was rusted out and a new factory one unpainted is double the cost of this one. Second, I wanted it for the look and style of carbon fiber. Unfortunately, there is A LOT of work needed to get this to go onto the car. There are no holes for the middle part of the racetrack light, the wire harness or the carpet liner, so it all needs to be drilled out. The 3rd brake light does not fit like it does on the stock trunk lid due to the thickness of the CF, so you'll need to buy some extra weather stripping to waterproof the light. You also can't can't keep the factory springs at the stock tension as it's too much for this trunk lid, so you have to figure out a way to release some tension on the springs and that will also mean that you're going to need to make a prop rod for the trunk. Now to the fitment issues. The area from the top of the racetrack light to the curve of the trunk where it goes from vertical to horizontal is physically taller than the stock lid, so if you want the racetrack lights to line up, the trunk lid is also going to stick up past the fenders. Finally, the top of the trunk is very flexible, so putting the stock spoiler on probably isn't going to work well in the long run as wind will probably make it vibrate on the trunk. And with that flex, you can see it's wavy on sunny days. It's not all bad though. It does really look good on the car even with it sticking up a bit. It seals up just fine so there's no water issues in the trunk. You can solve the spoiler issue by getting a Xenon spoiler (which I have) or a hellcat spoiler. The trunk lid is strong enough for those. Would I buy it again? Yes. I just would have liked to have been prepared for these issues before I bought it.

Not sure how it say OEM, but does not fit. Major modifications need to be made.

The 3 stars has NOTHING to do with CARiD, they get 5 stars! The 3 stars is for Carbon Creations. The product looks really good! It's clean, it's slick, it just looks nice. It only comes with 2 holes pre-drilled for the trunk bracket. You have to drill the holes for the reverse light, third brake light and cut the hole for the trunk latch. The reverse lights don't sit in all that great because one side of the mold sits higher than it should allowing the top portion of the light to stick out about an inch. On my particular trunk, the section that over hangs on each side of the trunk were not molded correctly for the cobalt. It was way off and not allowing the trunk to close all the way. We had to grind down as much as we could to allow the trunk to close properly. I would highly recommend Carbon Creations to pre-drill the holes and maybe once in a while take a trunk and install it themselves to check for any molding errors they need to correct.

The carbon fiber it self is decent, some imperfections on some lines where the scoop is, the fitment was actually perfect and have nothing bad to say about that, but I don't know if its the company or the shipping, but I had a big crack on the corner of the truck, it gets pretty expensive when it comes to fixe carbon fiber.

Over all product is visually nice. Fitment is all off. Holes for license plate lights and backup camera need ground to thick for OEM install. And body gap is larger on top edge. But within manufacturer specs. And would have been ideal if license plate mounting holes was available.

The trunk looked great, it is fiberglass inside, carbon fiber outside, very nice clear coat. That is where is stops. The bolt holes don’t line up, the trunk doesn’t fit, the company has yet to get back to me after a week on a new or return. The bottom of the trunk is curved to much and hit the bumper and there is no adjustment of the trunk. I would spend the extra money and get a real quality product. Do not buy!!

While it looked great, once installed, it was warped terribly.

The fitment was pretty good & pretty easy installation. Had to manually cut a hole on the inside though to get some of the wires through but other than that it looks great & had no problems. Fast shipping as well, got it within a week.
