That thing is total overkill. Carbon fiber with Kevlar hinges?! I laughed the first time I saw that.

About the equivalent of having half a pint instead of a full one with lunch I guess. And probably not as much as removing the heavy and close to useless tyre repair kit. Probably sounds better though - I know a few people with coupes remove their shelf for that reason.

I was told by my dealer that it looks nice, but noisy (rattles). It is rigid, so cant be locked in place by the rear hatch like the alcantara shelf without damaging trim. His words were "It will do your head in".
