how can u use urethane as a trunk? doesn't it have to be heavier or sturdier so u can slam itshut and stuff? people can just take something sharp and shove it straight through ur trunk and steal ur stuff.

urethane would not be lighter than Carbon Fiber. Urethane is the heaviest material to use.

The CF trunk is way better weight and look wise than the urethane, unless you like to bang on your trunk...

I'd say keep saving until you can afford a Carbon Fiber decklid. The problem with urethane is that it's extremely soft and gets even softer when the sun's beating down on it in the summer. You may have issues with long-term warping due to heat.

Plus, I think unpainted urethane as in the pic you posted looks pretty ghetto.
