you can but i would just not use them

I'm with Russian about the CSL trunk being to big. If it was a little more subtle I would consider it. It just looks way too exaggerated, for a 5-series that is.

Same here. I almost ordered a CSL trunk, but then I thought it through again. I think the Lumma has the perfect lid, but it's expensive as h*ll!

So how does the carbon fiber last on these. If it is anything like the carbon fiber I had on my bikes in years past.

I seen some clears that turn yellow, some de-laminate, and some get chips extremely easily

both of you have no clue what you are talking about, ive had my cf for two years and my car is parked outside and its never faded or cracked or splintered

it has some rock chips but a lot less than my oem had was able to get so after two years, i still love the look
