Is this CSL trunk worth considering?

I feel like it's not worth ordering it, but just wanted to get opinions

Seibon makes a good CF CSL bootlid but there's no place for the roundel, if that matters. Very light, seems to be strong, and fits well enough.

It's made of fiberglass, that's enough to dissuade me.

Being cheap leads to duraflex
Duraflex leads to fiberglass
Fiberglass leads to suffering

Yep, that's it. And, yes, it's as easy to paint. The shop painted the back of mine to match and faded it into just clearcoat through the back of the spoiler and on to the top surface.

Me and a few of my friend have Duraflex wide body fenders on our corvettes. They fit excellent, and only needed minor things. The bolt holes were dimpled, and not drilled, and a little shaving in some parts, but for the price, they were fine. These kinds of mods are really for the DIY guys. If you want perfection, pay the higher price for perfection. But, if you are the kind of guy that can work good with his hands, these are just fine.
