Thanks for the posts guys. Well, it looks like we have a few months to get a design down, but I am thinking about moving forward with the project with my connection. Basically, I want a very similar side profile as the white singer above. I won't compromise on that and will stay stock if we can't get the new trunk to do the following:
• It must have perfect OEM fitment, no different than the stock steel trunk
• No raised components aside from the tail itself from the side profile
• Use the SC grille insert
• Be strong, light and have a quality finish (ready to paint or painted - they offer both)
If we can't have all of the above, I will walk away, but I feel confident my guy can get it done. Here are a few samples of his work on the M3.

Mr. Wolfe
Are you planning to have it made from carbon fiber?
I'm very interested in running a naked CF rear decklid.

If there’s enough interest, this could become a group buy situation if it could help with production costs.
Not to dissuade or hijack this thread, but I like the ducktail on the Porsche 997 Sport Classic... it’s a little smaller than the standard RS ducktail and it looks more organic, in my opinion. It also looks like the ducktail rises up from the lid a little distance inboard from the lid’s edge.

Yes, I am sure CF would be an option.

That's exactly the case. We will probably need a minimum order to get this rolling.

I like that ducktail, though I do prefer the Singer's edginess a little more. I wouldn't mind softening the styling some on the Singer version, but a little less than the Sport Classic.
Thanks Jeff, that is one badass car. I just reached out to my contact last week to see if he was still interested in this project. He said absolutely and will be starting spring 2019.
