Sorry for the confusion. I was refering to the front bumper only. The trunk only has carbon or fiberglass for options. The 21.6 lbs is the stock EVO trunk. For the aero kit materials here is a run down of what C-West has for the EVO. Our C-West pricing should be nearly the same as VIS.

Front Bumper
PFRP = Pliable fiberglass reinforced plastic (Bendable)
FRP = Fiberglass reinforced plastic
Hood
CFRP = Carbon fiber reinforced plastic
FRP
Side Skirts
FRP
PFRP
Rear Bumper

Trunk

Yes on page 2 I posted a pic of the Cwest trunk. Sorry not the greatest shot. The bumpers on the 7 and 8 kits are the same but the hoods aren't. The 8 hood design has a huge opening in the center engine vent.

Is the VIS actually made out of carbon fiber? I know their hoods are like 90% fiberglass and only the top layer is carbon fiber.

i dont know i guess im old fashioned but imo cf hoods =rice in its purest form

pearl you will never shave off 300 lbs with cf, maybe if you removed ac, seats etc etc, replaced hood, trunk, door panels, interior

even if you could you'd have to spend $2000-3000 to gain .3 sec in 1/4 mile, that just doesnt make sense

If your really weight crazy get the replacement rear doors that are fiberglass with plexi windows. Major weight savings.
