Girodisc is looking to make our trunk in carbon fiber.

Hey all. We have had a lot of interest in the custom duckbill trunk we made for our EVO X project car and now that the winter is here we have time to take it off and send it away to be replicated in carbon fiber. We don't have a set price but we would like your input on if this is something some of you would (actually) be interested in having. It would be 2x2 twill and carbon fiber threw and threw both sides. It would be a fill trunk with the spoiler instigated not just the spoiler.

Here are some pics:









Let us know turn around time on this can be a soon as 3 weeks so we are excited to see what you guys think. We are also looking into replicated all the black platic on the exterior in CF but we'll start with this for now.

Look like the list has been started so I'll put it in the first post and keep tally. I'll have updates pmed to you as they arise and first dibs on the production run.

1- evofan_08 (evom)
2- lostkhan (evom)
3- dcasandman (evox)
4- goforwand (evom)
5- MightyPhantom (evom)
6- PRORICAN (evom)
7- NateDaJew (evom)
8- xd charlie (evom)
9-
10-

I like my big OEM ricer wing

I remember a lot of people were interested in this though. I dont think you could go wrong by producing them.

Yeah we are looking into costs now but since we will be making it our self's costs will be very reasonable, and you could paint it. If we do it we are going to paint ours.

Someone needs to photoshop the old 911 whale tail on the X. That's what it really needs.

Looks good...

When I first looked at the picture the first thing popped into my mind is Lexus IS 250.

Anyone have similar thoughts?

First show we went to a lot of people thought that. We had the first EVO X in WA and it looked like that less then 3 weeks after we got it. We move fast.

I would buy this for my new X immediately as long as the price is reasonable.

Send me a prototype, I will fit it, review it, whatever you want...IMO, this really is a great alternative to the large wing, and 100x better than the smaller standard wing on the X

I hate to say it but the evo X wingless looks so much better then previous evos wingless, especially with that trunk.
