carbon fiber trunk

hey i have 2 12 inch subs in my trunk now and they hit pretty hard and the trunk rattles alot even with the dynomat, i was wondering if i bought a carbon fiber trunk to replace the stock one, would there be more or less rattling? or about the same?

Probably more, but you'd look cooler bumping and rattling down the street!!!

the same, the trunk isn't what is rattling, its the bumper and possbile spoiler if you have one. if the trunk is rattling the rubber stoppers can be loosened to create tension on the trunk, hence no rattle. buy some c clamps and clamp the bumper to the body tighter. thats what i did and it worked great. put them behind the bumper on the top.

i think its because his points towards the center (nice setup by the way) ... if ur box is ported on the top than it will make ur trunk lid rattle

There was rattle with the factory trunk lid. the carbon lids are one piece and I am guessing that is why they don't rattle, mind you I don't have the wing on yet,, it might rattle then??
