CARBON FIBER SHAVED TRUNK LIDS by SEIBON
January 04 , 2004
Carbon Fiber manufacturer Seibon has been giving us good reason for us to rave about thier products. For 2005 Seibon has unleashed a flurrry of high tech carbon fiber automotive accessories such as gorgeous new carbon fiber hood designs for the classic tuners and the up and coming new crop of high performance imports.
The latest innovation by Seibon is at the least the beginning of a new trend in carbon fiber automotive parts. Just released is a new line of Carbon Fiber Trunk Lids by Seibon for the Honda Civic called the "S" style trunk, short for "Shaved" style trunks.
We recently published an article on the upcoming trend emerging in the tuning world with Carbon Fiber Trunk and Hatch lids, no sooner than that Seibon has dug deeper and taken it to the next level with this new line up that starts with the worlds most common import tuner, the Honda Civic.
The "Shaved" designed carbon fiber trunks are built on a trend of shaved door handles, license plate holders and keyholes. Automotive enthusiasts from as far back as the hot rod era have molded or "Shaved" thier doors and trunks of thier vehicles to give it a svelte look. The process involves removing obstructive items such as door handles and molding them flush with the rest of the body with fiberglass, bondo or other fillers. Then the door or trunk is sanded, prepped, painted and fitted with special door poppers.
We see Seibons new carbon fiber shaved trunks as an amazing alternative, providing both the weight savings and stunning looks of carbon fiber and providing a finished product that doesnt need the expenses of extensive bodywork to create a clean trunk look. When comparing the price of a shaved carbon fiber trunk to the price of having a body shop do the work, it is evident that this will be a clear winner in the tuning wars.
