who has a CF trunk with or w/o CF trunk lip

hey guys i've been searching to see pics of RR evo's with carbon fiber trunk lids with or with out CF trunk lip. but i haven't really found what i'm looking for. i've been thinking about buying one for my car for everyday driving and leave my APR CF wing and stock trunk for autocross/road race whenever i start doing it. so if anyone has a link or pics you can share please do. i appreciate it.

Not really springs the bars that allow the trunk to stay up on its own...I had to remove these so Trunk lid would sit flush...utherwise bowed up and could almost see in the trunk...took those off and fit perfect and looks good.....just the trunk will not stay up on its own...not big deal i am not in much anyway....just fill the methonal container every once and while....
