    How does one go about painting one of these but still show off the carbon? I have an idea for a stripe but am not sure how it would look.

    what if you paint the top part but leave the back carbon like a 70 Grabber had black up to the top of the spoiler?

    Please don't take this as shooting down a great product, I'm just simply curious. Now that you have taller endcaps available, will you possibly someday sell a bolt on taller center section?

    Looks amazing regardless, and love what you do for the maverick market :)

    you can use candy paint over carbonfiber to change the color. i plan on painting my hood and when i get the trunk candy blue then mask off the stripes and paint the rest white.

    Luckily, my paint color is a close enough match to painters tape blue that I should be able to tape off several ideas and have a pretty good idea on what it would like like finished.

    I haven't heard an answer on the when part, but the cost I heard him quote was estimated in the high $700 to low $800 range. But keep in mind it is the whole trunk lid with the incorporated spoiler and the end caps. I wish I knew how to get on the list for a set. I haven't heard yet, but I assume that the line will be long.

    Anybody want to guess how much weight is saved with thing?

    The end caps were a real surprise.

    Hey Chris.... So how much?? Do you now have the entire set including the trunk? Jealous as hell, just saying. I'm not going to paint until I have those parts. I'll wait it out I guess.

    20 lbs dropped including the deck lid. almost 5 lbs in the end caps alone. I had no idea they were metal. It should bring a premium when I go to sell it.

    Yes. I have the most complete collection of Maverick Man Carbon available. (At least without having multiple hoods) I have it installed now but not completely fitted yet. Needs a little tweaking here and there. It fits as well as my previous spoiler but I want this to be as good as I can get it before I hand it over to my painter. I'll try to get a pic showing the difference in height as well. It not much but is noticeable. I'll get some pics tomorrow at the race. This carbon lay is gorgeous. You get lost in it.

    i should have more done before the end of the year easy. will be probably in the low to mid $800 range easy.

    personally i would just

    it could be an option but not sure if i have the time to do that. i probably will just start working not the standard spoiler replacement now. it could be an option but not sure if i have the time to do that. i probably will just start on the standard size grabber spoiler replacement.

    no list to get in line right now. i don't feel the line will be "that" long with other parts i make i do ask for a deposit but i move way more parts then maverick parts. lol! again i should have something done before the end of the year.
