Favor from a Portlander evo owner

Hi guys,
I am currently working on designing a evo trunk lid. I have an initial shape which I am fairly happy with, however (this is where you come in) I don't currently own a evo.
I was wondering if anyone in the Portland area would be willing to meet up this Sunday 4-18, and let me bolt this trunk to their car to see how the shape flows with the entire car. Would only take 10-15 minutes.
I would really appreciate it and when the final product is done in FRP or CF, I could make whoever a sweet deal for helping me out if they wanted one.
For reference, this is how the trunk for the subaru wrx/sti ended up...


Shoot me a pm if interested.
Thanks

dayum! You could use my car, which happens to be at English Racing's shop in Camas! Probably not on Sunday though.

Regardless, LMK when you are ready to sell!!!

Dan, give me your carbon trunk!

I'll offer up Dan's old OEM trunk if it helps.

If it all works out I might be up for that. Ya never know. BTW - here is an inside shot of my trunk:


BTW Got_Lag? - personally I'd angle that rear lip piece up a little, but then you might be accused of doing a do-luck rip-off.

It is angled up a little.
However I think the do luck doesn't flow as well as it could on the evo.
Its a little abrupt. The trunk I am working on is more of a smooth contour with a lip integrated.
Here's a pic of a Dry Carbon OEM Evo trunk we did... Its a prototype but if anyone wants it PM me for a sweet deal. 8.1 lbs!

Did you find a definite person to do this? I am willing to drive down and meet up. LMK That trunk on the STI looks great.
