Just looked at that photo and it is identical to how I got mine, so the VIS one does not have the surround. You would still have to use your stock one.

Looks good Fifty! I think I'm sold(?). Hate to be a picky, but if you get a chance could you post a full shot of your car from the rear? I want to see how the lines look. Kinda like this pic:

^Sorry dude, only ones I could find. It flows to the same lines are stock... just imagine your stock trunk only CF. Fittment is really good but there are bumper stops you can play with to get it dead on. I was crazy picky and moved the latch out a 1/8th and it closes and fits dead on!

A better option would be to remove the tension bars and install hydraulics to lift the lighter trunk lid. There are kits out there for this specific purpose.

The trunk I got (from Cerious) can't weigh more then 10lbs so it is a night and day difference to the stock one which is pretty heavy.

are those the tenzo passion 5's?! there the ones ive been planning on getting

man that all looks hot. What color is your car? Cause that LP frame thing from VIS looked a tiny bit off so you will see the color under it. But it still looks great.

The Cf plate frame is from Carbon By Design.
My car is black, so the color should blend in around the trim

Yup, If you get them make sure you buy two spacers for each of the front wheels. The way the spokes are cut it will end up rubbing against your caliper if not.
