Hi guys,
has anybody an comparison value for the trunk lid?
Found a replacement made out of carbon/ platic. Reseller says it weights 17.6lbs.
Looks pretty much for me as the stock one is around 23.40 (parts catalog value) and 26lbs (real life)

TRUNK LID
Stock (Steel): 10.625 kg (23.40 lbs) (OC weighed his at 26.0 lbs)

CF Vorsteiner lid: 14.9 lbs (OC Kid weighed it)
Cost: $1362
Weight savings: 11.1 lbs (according to OC's numbers)
cost/benefit: ~$123/lb
