Carbon Trunk?

Hey you guys I am having problems with the clear coat on my trunk. I think its time for a new look. So I was thinking wrapping my trunk in carbon. What you guys think. I drive a black evo. Thats the only down side. Positive and negative comments are welcome.

Do you have any pictures? Personally I think carbon wrap looks cheap and tacky. If anything get it paint matched or do what manthny18 said and sand it and re-clear it like you would a faded spoiler.

I also agree with this. If it was me i just have it wet sanded and re-cleared. If this it too labor intensive for you i would just have the hood paint matched instead of having it wrapped.
