Curious if you can use the spring from an RS trunk what the difference would be over the winged trunk spring......

Hmm, thats an idea. I have tried to pull one of the arms out of the spring in my car. A steel wingless trunk is still too heavy for it. I would think with a carbon trunk though, removing one of the bars would work out ok.

I've really thought about the roof as well! Seeing as I have a sunroof, it would really benifit me on weight and rigidity! The labor involved is what scares me lol

Yeah I think steel is too heavy, so that's why I rec an RS aluminum, probably pretty close, or close enough it doesn't destroy your deck lid lol

Got them (together with cf lip) from a member here who used to be a vendor. J.liu is his evom name. He'll work with you to get them to the price you both will be happy with. They're all Vis Racing. I'll pm u price once I remember how much for all 3 items. I think their main website is Lhtuning.
